Number of native citizens of Sweden is decreasing and the number of Muslim refugees is increasing

Stockholm (Sweden) – Natives of Sweden are looking for a home in a country like the US. At the same time, Sweden has become a favourite destination for immigrants. The number of immigrants in Sweden has increased to more than two million, which is one fifth of Sweden’s total population, i.e. 20 percent. On the other hand, the Swedish Government is paying those who leave their country. Due to this, native citizens of Sweden are migrating to countries like US. Yet Sweden’s population is growing. Muslim refugees are the reason behind this. Because of this, it is being said that it will not be surprising if Sweden becomes an Islamic country in the coming years.
The Swedish Government has imposed several restrictions to control the growing population of immigrants. Sweden has a large number of Muslims coming from Islamic countries like Syria, Somalia, Iran and Iraq. There have been several incidents of violence in Sweden in recent years. There were at least 348 shootings last year. 52 people died in this. Migrants are said to be responsible for this.
Sweden has been welcoming large numbers of immigrants since the 1990s; but after Ulf Kristerson became Prime Minister in October 2022, he changed the country’s policy. He is also supported by the nationalist Sweden Democrats party. This party is anti-immigrant. He believes that ‘refugees not only harm the country’s culture, but also the economy’.
Swedish Government gives 10,000 Swedish Krona (Rs 80,000) to those who leave the country

Those who do not like Swedish culture or cannot assimilate it can leave Sweden, according to a new proposal by Swedish Minister Maria Steingaard. If the citizens of Sweden leave the country, they get equivalent of Rs 80,000 from the Government. Apart from this, they are also paid rent. They get this money at once before leaving the country. The idea was to pay more to those leaving the country and raise it to Rs 12 lakhs; but there was great opposition. The Government says that increasing money to leave the country will send the message that ‘immigrants are not welcome’.
