If
you read my article about Madeleine Albright on Monday, you know that I agreed
with her controversial words “immigrants are a burden.” Albright was referring
to the current migrant crisis in Europe. Sweden is facing a similar
problem. And the Sweden Democrats (SD) is fighting back. After taking a strong
lead in polls, party leader Jimmie Akesson announced that the immigration issue
would be put to a national referendum as soon as possible.
“We
have come a long way – but we’re going even further. We’re about to show how
we’re able to run the country,” said Akesson.
Inward
migration is a huge problem in Sweden. Akesson blames the country’s generous
welfare policy. “What is it that causes people to risk their own and their
children’s lives to come here? I dare say that it is down to other parties’ lax
policies on welfare.”
Over
the past few months, Sweden has suffered a series of attacks on government
buildings as well as increasing tension following the deaths of a number of
Swedish citizens that were attacked in an Ikea store by a band of Eritrean
migrants.
Sweden
has even been compared to Iraq due to frequent grenade attacks. Violence
towards Christians has increased by threefold during the past five years.
“Sure,
it’s a long way to the election, but it is obvious that we need to start
planning to be prepared to take real responsibility for the country,” said
Åkesson. “We should be the establishment. We should dominate the public
debate.”
Many
consider SD to be Sweden’s answer to the libertarian UKIP (UK Independence
Party). The photo above shows the flamboyant signs SD hung up across Sweden’s
public transport system to apologize to tourists for “the mess here in
Sweden.”
