Haha here in sweden the immigrants are the best thing that happened to this place(saying this as an immigrant…). Other than the manner in which the swedish government distrobuted them which increased violent crime in the pockets of immigrants. They spice up life(literally because swedish food is boring af).
We had spicy food even before the mass immigration wave, and the gov:t didn’t decide how to distribute them, because it isn’t allowed to force people to live somewhere.
There were actually several instances where immigrants were bussed to northern Sweden to house them there (lots of nice, cheap, empty housing up north), but they refused to get off the busses. On one occasion a bus driver was threatened with death if he didn’t drive them back - guy went for a piss at the next fuel stop and left them.
…the gov:t didn’t *decide* how to distribute them, because it isn’t allowed to force people to live somewhere.

So, let me get this straight, the government non-forcefully drove a bunch of immigrants, that had come from the subtropics, to the arctic circle, who refused to get off the buses, and you don’t find anything a little ‘on the nose’ about that?
Sounds like they had a bloody good reason for being upset, and I can’t think of any reason why they’d be in the wrong.
Is there parts of Sweden that are subtropical? Can’t say the situation is good for anyone involved there, however the way you word it just makes it sound like the immigrants and extremely ungrateful to have been given a home at all?
I’m pretty sure their only expectation was to not die in a war. That doesn’t make it right to bus a bunch of people to the arctic nowhere and expect them to just live. If the bus driver was being threatened, was there no government workers to receive them and at least help them somewhat?
IIRC it wasn’t government just ferrying off a bunch of immigrants to the middle of nowhere and said “you live here now” but instead sent some asylum seekers there for the duration of the process to confirm (or deny) their asylum. And asylum seekers at least where I live, for the duration of the processing of their status, live in special facilities. This happened to be in a place they didn’t like, which imo makes their attitude seem a lot less understandable.

I think everyone agrees on that, no matter what side they are on

All in all, a shit situation.

I think it was to house asylum seekers and they are housed in facilities around the country to share the burden of it.
And they had come to Sweden to seek asylum. Not sure what they expected. It’s not exactly the Riviera.
