Magdalena Andersson is feeling the electoral pressure from the Sweden Democrats, and so is starting to sound like them. The chances of her following through on this promise, however, are about nil. Still, her change of tune indicates the new climate in Europe.
“Sweden does not want ‘Somali-towns,’ says country’s socialist PM in desperate attempt to stop surging anti-immigration party before September election,” by John Cody, ReMix News, August 26, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The normally open-borders prime minister of Sweden, Magdalena Andersson, says she would abolish the ethnic ghettos in the big cities, which are hotbeds of organized crime.
Migration and integration experts and sociologists, on the other hand, do not like the proposal, however, it appears to be a last-ditch effort from Andersson to erode support for the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, which polling predicts will be the second-biggest party in parliament after elections on Sept. 11.
Andersson, who belongs to the Swedish Social Democrats, conducted an interview with the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter, saying, “We don’t want Chinatowns in Sweden, we don’t want ‘Somali-towns’ or Little Italys,” referring to the well-known multicultural ethnic enclaves seen in Western cities, especially in the United States.
The Swedish prime minister previously belonged to the Swedish government that approved 180,000 migrants settling in the country during the 2015/16 migrant crisis. She later said she “regretted” that the government had approved so many people coming to the country.
Andersson is now taking a similar position to that of the country’s immigration minister, Anders Ygeman, who previously stated that Swedes want to limit the concentration of people with an immigrant background in the most problematic areas of the cities, which is very similar to the immigration policy of neighboring Denmark.
She added, however, that this does not mean the forced relocation of people, as happened in Denmark; instead, they are thinking of other solutions, for example, the construction of attractive housing cooperatives, which would enable a mixed population, according to a report from Hungarian newspaper Mandiner.
Ygeman’s proposal was previously heavily criticized by various parties and Swedish migration and integration experts, primarily because of the restriction of non-Nordic immigration to Swedish cities, and also because, as Charles Westin, a sociologist from Stockholm University claimed, it was a “racist approach.”
Andersson said that the aforementioned solution should have been devised a long time ago. Recently, Andersson admitted that Sweden has not been able to integrate the immigrants it received in the last two decades, which led to the development of “parallel societies and group violence.”…

“Little Italy” and “China town” are nothing like the “no-go zones” mozlums are so fond of establishing for themselves to run as they wish; breaking laws and attacking police officers if they enter. mozlums are not like other groups of *immigrants* who like to congregate in areas where they have their own foods, music, etc.
If she is PM now, why doesn’t she get busy instead of saying what she “will” do?
in Florida, as part of the Tampa area, Ybor City was established many years ago by Cubans. But anyone can go there and eat at a restaurant, buy groceries, etc. And no one is attacked or intimidated into leaving if they don’t want to be raped or accosted and beaten up.
It’s an insult to compare mozlum no-go zones with places like those of other true *ethnic* groups who are willing to get along and obey the laws..

Somehistory,
Your comments are a fitting “tribute” to islam. To the point and worth discerning, especially for the dumb and arrogant elites. Yes, islam is incomparable: an anti-establishment, hate-mongering, anti-infidels, anti-Christ and so on. When even the police can’t enter Islamic no-go-zones it is a slap on the state and the elites. Are they “doing” an enclave within enclave? Only totalitarian govt have dealt with Islamists appropriately and others have failed miserably. The so-called Arab spring has exposed islam comprehensively/thoroughly.
I hope PM means what she says.
somehistory says
thanks, guys.

Sweden has paid and co0mtinues to pay a heavy price for its pollyanna approach to Islamic immigration, as have many other countries. Muslims do not do integration which is in fact forbidden by Islam. and actively discouraged by leaders like Erdogan. Those who do integrate are considered not real Muslims by the true believers who see them as consorting with the ‘enemies’ of Islam

Sweden: Leftist open-borders PM now says she’ll abolish Somali Muslim Sharia enclaves
………………………….
Well, better late than never if she actually does it, I suppose. But it would be hard to see what mechanism could be used while keeping these Muslim thugs in the country.

Well, this is just absurd. I go to Oakland and San Francisco’s Chinatowns all the time, as well as North Beach (SF’s Little Italy). There are various other ethnic enclaves near by. These are generally low crime areas, and some are also tourist spots. Save for people in some cases not speaking English, they are generally the exact opposite of No Go Zones. Magdalena Andersson needs to learn more about this before speaking out.

Any Swede who believes her can line up to buy a bridge b/w Malmo and Copenhagen

Another politician in over their head and making false promises. The West is now led overwhelmingly by incompetents, liars, control-freaks, zealots and loons.

Probably so, Wellington.

‘Afghanistan children killed after playing with unexploded ordnance that detonated in classroom”
“Four children are dead and three others are injured after an unexploded ordnance detonated after being brought into an Afgha”nistan classroom.
The children were ages 7 to 14 and at least three others were injured, according to the police statement.
Local officials say that three of the children were killed instantly while an unidentified doctor at a local hospital said another female child died later from her injuries.”

” well-known multicultural ethnic enclaves..,.” ???
If they were “multicultural” they wouldn’t be “ethnic” and neither would there would be any point in establishing an enclave, since people of different backgrounds peaceably mixing together and co-existing is what is generally known as “society”.
The problem is mono-cultural muslim enclaves.
mick says
Good point PC, although the Islamic mono zone may be deeply divided between Shia, Sunni, Arab, Berber, Afghan etc.
God help the Yazidis and the Christians (Syrians Egyptians, Ethiopians…)
Inter-Umma ‘racism’ has killed millions since the 1980s.
PMK says
There’s no way to ‘abolish’ ethnic ghettos without some form of ‘forced relocation’. Integration and assimilation was never a goal of these ‘migrant’s’. New York City had many ethnic (Italian, Irish, German, etc.) neighborhoods but ultimately the people assimilated because their own future prosperity required them to mix with others. They had to make a living. Welfare and refugee policies relieve the immigrant of any responsibility for his own welfare. To do otherwise is now called racist. This PM is just making empty promises. What was done cannot be undone, unless Western leaders are ready to demand assimilation or kick the Muslims out. They’ll keep kowtowing to ‘those poor refugees’. Better to destroy your own country than to be called racist (or whatever pejorative comes next_.

Good analysis, PMK.
