We talk to the Swedish Migration Agency about the impact the new rules will have on citizenship applications.

We hear from the debate in parliament on the citizenship vote and hear reactions from MPs.

Radio Sweden Weekly: Citizenship changes to be discussed by MPs

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:30:00 GMT

This coming Tuesday, the government's citizenship bill will be examined by a parliamentary committee which will then take a position on the reforms.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

Meanwhile, a grassroots organisation calling for transition rules for people with citizenship applications already in the queue is running a letter-writing campaign targeting MPs — among them Liberal Party politicians — to try and sway them to vote against their own bill. We speak with Patrick Gallen from Fair Transition and political scientist Patrik Öhberg from the University of Gothenburg.

Also: The government this week presented its draft bill to remove pathways to permanent residence for refugees and their relatives, a move aimed at further reducing asylum-related migration and improving integration. But concerns have been raised over unintended consequences for other types of migrants. We hear from Olle Hammar, assistant professor in economics at Linnaeus University and a researcher at the Center for Migration and Integration Research at the Stockholm School of Economics.

And: A shaky temporary ceasefire has been reached between the US, Israel and Iran. But this week's also seen US President Donald Trump's attention turn back to matters a bit closer to home, namely Nato and Greenland. We asked Jan Hallenberg, professor emeritus of political science at the Swedish Defence University, to share his analysis.

Radio Sweden Weekly: A shift in the centre ground of Swedish politics

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:30:00 GMT

It's been a week with several bombshells in Swedish politics, which has put the country's two liberal parties - the Liberals and the Centre Party - firmly on two different sides of the political divide.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

The Liberal Party's decision to accept the nationalist Sweden Democrats in government has upset many people in the party, and to add insult to injury, the former Liberal party politician Birgitta Ohlsson announced she will come back to Swedish politics, but for the Centre Party.

In this Radio Sweden Weekly, we hear Birgitta Ohlsson and Centre Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist, but also speak to a disappointed Liberal party politician - and a liberal op-ed writer who welcomes the latest developments.

And political earth quakes aside, in Garpenberg in Dalarna, there has been a real-life earth tremor that had one local thinking a Russian invasion was on the way.

We also look at the sudden resignation of Johan Pehrson, leader of the Liberal Party, and what it means for Sweden's political center. Political writers Annie Reutersköld and Torbjörn Nilsson weigh in on the party’s future—and the possibility of a merger with the Centre Party.

Then, we ask if Sweden could face a major blackout, like the one that hit Spain and Portugal this week. MSB's Jan-Olof Olsson explains how ready Sweden really is — and why having cash and a transistor radio might still matter.

Finally, we hear from Swedish Radio's Victor Jensen about Volvo Cars plan to cut SEK 18 billion in costs, a move that may lead to major layoffs in Gothenburg and beyond.

Radio Sweden Weekly: Largest ever waste dumping trial gets underway

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 14:30:00 GMT

It's been labelled ”the biggest environmental scandal ever in Swedish history” and in this edition of Radio Sweden Weekly, we speak to one of the prosecutors, and one those who first sounded the alarm.

Anna Öhgren in Norrtälje first noticed something was wrong when a large number of lorries started passing by her house with truckloads of unsorted waste, offloading them onto the property down the road from her house. ”I don't bathe in the lake. I don't drink the tap water anymore,” she tells Radio Sweden.

And what was it that caused one of the most experienced government ministers to resign this week? We go on a military exercise in the Stockholm archipelago and find out more about the world's 300 best songs, according to a jury put together by Swedish Radio's music channel P3.

And a correction: In an earlier version of this podcast published on July 3rd we reported on a large increase in the number of young Swedes living with their parents, based on statistics from Eurostat. However the Swedish numbers from Statistics Sweden were incorrect, the agency now says, and have now been withdrawn. Therefore we can't say how the number of young people in Sweden living with their parents has changed, and we have removed the story from this podcast. The correction was made on July 11th 2024.

We've got interviews with people in the village of Kallinge, who for a decade were drinking contaminated tap water - now they await a supreme court verdict on whether they have the right to compensation or not.

Plus: a visit to the bakers, who are very busy this time of year, making sure there are enough saffron buns for everyone. There are tips for how you make them too.

Thu, 28 Jul 2022 14:30:00 GMT

It’s nearing the end of July, but summer is far from over.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

It’s a time of year where Swedes take advantage of the bright summer months by making up for all they can’t do during the cold winters. This includes outdoor activities like kayaking, sunbathing and visiting all the beautiful beaches and lakes that Sweden has to offer.

However, water safety is an ongoing issue, and the warmer weather tends to lead to a rise in fatal drowning accidents, according to lifesaving experts. We look at some projects trying to reduce the number of fatalities.

Many of them have settled in big cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg, and have moved here for work or study reasons.

And they have brought with them many things from their home country, including their love of cricket - a little-known sport in Sweden but one that's huge in India and other parts of South Asia.

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 14:30:00 GMT

In June 1972, the UN came together in Stockholm to hold its first conference focusing on the environment. Now, 50 years later, the UN has convened an international, high level meeting in the Swedish capital to work towards a healthy planet.

We speak to Jan Mårtensson, who was the Secretary-General of the Swedish national committee for the preparation of the Stockholm Conference in 1972, about what he believes politicians should be doing. And we also speak to Yoko Lu, a member of the Stockholm+50 Youth Task Force, about her expectations.

And with Swedish elections just 100 days away, we hear about two political events, Järvaveckan and Almedalen, aimed at bringing politics closer to voters, as the campaigns heat up, and we also learn about the changing demographics of first-time voters.

We hear about the long queues at Arlanda airport.

Both countries were left deeply rattled by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and are now rethinking their long-held positions of remaining military non-aligned. But will either one of them take the plunge and seek to join the trans-Atlantic military alliance?

Plus, the Liberal Party has been floundering in the polls and now finds itself with a new leader less than a half a year before the next election after its previous head abruptly stepped down.

And houses of worship are reopening their doors for Easter this weekend after the pandemic kept them shut the last two years. But some digital lessons learned during the pandemic will still be applied.

Radio Sweden Weekly: Military tensions as Covid soars

Thu, 20 Jan 2022 15:30:00 GMT

Sweden shortened quarantine times and altered testing guidelines as a wave of omicron infections hit the country.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

The Public Health Agency says it believes the changes won't impact the spread of the virus but added that they can't be totally sure of that.

Plus the Swedish military ramps up its activities on the Baltic Sea island of Gotland amid worsening relations between NATO and Russia.

And athletes are gearing up for the Winter Olympics in Beijing next month as well as a special race for the 100 year anniversary of the Vasaloppet cross-country ski race.

Radio Sweden Weekly: Seven and a half bumpy hours for Sweden's first female prime minister

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 15:30:00 GMT

Magdalena Andersson got off to a rocky start as Sweden's first female prime minister, and decided to stand down after just seven and a half hours - before she had even been formally instated.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

In today's programme, we try to make sense of what happened in those hours and what the implications for the future of Swedish politics are.

The programme includes a discussion with Marcus Åsling, editorial writer for Östersunds-Posten, which has a political profile close to the Centre Party and Leonidas Aretakis, editor-in-chief of the left-leaning Flamman, that calls itself "independently socialist".

We hear MPs reflect on the historic vote, before it all fell apart - and visit a local cinema to hear how they will deal with the new restrictions on indoor public events that will come into force on December 1st.

Radio Sweden Weekly: How the pandemic has affected the border town of Strömstad

Thu, 03 Jun 2021 14:30:00 GMT

We hear how Covid-19 restrictions have re-shaped life for families, workers, and others who live near the Norwegian border.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

First, we hear how Sweden's Covid-19 restrictions nationwide are beginning to lift. We hear voices of cinema-goers, now that theaters can seat up to 50 people per screening, instead of 8.

Then, we follow reporter Ulla Engberg to the border town of Strömstad, to hear how people during the last year have felt the effect of what is normally an invisible line between Sweden and Norway.

We hear how restrictions have affected a thirteen-year-old girl there whose father lives in Norway.

We also learn about the toll that the pandemic has taken on the economy of Strömstad, with a visit to a nearly empty supermarket, which used to be popular among Norwegians shopping for more variety and cheaper prices.

We review new regional and national restrictions to stem the spread of Covid-19 and also ask the authorities, including state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell and Leif Dotevall, regional medical officer at the department of communicable disease control in Västra Götaland, why they believe that compliance isn't higher regarding face mask recommendations.

We also visit the storied Stockholm City Hall, best known as the site of the annual Nobel Prize banquet, that's lately served as a vaccination center.

We hear from a boy who came down with Multisymptom Inflammatory Syndrome after contracting Covid-19.

Radio Sweden Weekly: Reaction to the Corona Commission's damning report

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 15:30:00 GMT

The independent corona commission presents its first report into Sweden's handling of the pandemic and it's a damning indictment of what it calls major structural shortcomings in elderly care with authorities proving unprepared and ill-equiped to meet the pandemic.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

We summarise the main points, speak to the chair of the commission and have reaction from an expert in the field of elderly care.

Also, news of staff shortages at hospitals this Christmas and we take a look at why a text message to 22 million phones from two authorities involved in Sweden's pandemic response caused mirth and derision.

Radio Sweden Weekly: Students return to remote learning and how the pandemic exposed problems in care for elderly

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 15:30:00 GMT

The coronavirus pandemic has become a "wake-up call for how we treat elderly people in Sweden" says one chief medical officer, following a damning report from the health care watchdog IVO.

On Thursday, the government announced that students in upper secondary schools will have to return to remote learning for a month from Monday, to help stop the spread of Covid-19.

Radio Sweden Weekly: Elderly home visits, refugee stories and soldiers in Stockholm

Thu, 17 Sep 2020 14:30:00 GMT

Sweden will remove its coronavirus ban on visits to elderly care homes starting next month as the number of new infections continue to fall.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

Families are ecstatic about the news but what happens if the virus begins spreading in the homes once again? Health and government officials say they are prepared for that possibility.

And this week, a parliamentary committee that was supposed to shape Sweden's future immigration policy has instead driven a wedge between the the governing Social Democrats and their partners the Greens. We take a closer look at what went wrong and what could happen next.

And if you saw soldier running around Stockholm this week, don't panic! It was just a drill as the Swedish Armed Forces grapples with a changing security situation in the region.

Radio Sweden Weekly - top Green politician resigns, baking factory burns down and does Sweden need a sugar tax?

Thu, 27 Aug 2020 14:30:00 GMT

The Swedish Cancer Society has called for a tax on soft drinks/sodas that contain sugar. Obesity affects cancer and Covid-19 too. Is it time for government action?

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

Obesity and overweight are huge problems, even in a country like Sweden that prides itself on its citizens' attitudes to exercise and eat healthy foods. Now a study shows that some soft drinks in Sweden contain three times the amount of sugar as in other countries. We hear why the Cancer Society wants a sugar tax, why a world-famous soda company doesn't and what a top obesity expert thinks.

We'll also look back at the week's top stories such as the resignation of the Green Party's co-leader and government minister, the devastating effect of a burnt-down baking factory on a small northern town. Plus we'll find out if Sweden really is all that neat and tidy.

At the end of March the Swedish government followed the Public Health Agency guidelines and restricted public assemblies to no more than 50 people.

Now angry voices from the arts scene are growing louder, calling the restrictions unfair. Why can people be crowded onto buses, in shopping malls and beaches while cultural venues are empty?

While Sweden's daily tally of new COVID-19 cases falls to its lowest since May, a lack of visitors to the country is threatening the livelihoods of shopkeepers in Stockholm's Old Town - we pay a visit.

And climate friendly meals are off the menu as meat and potatoes becomes the comfort food of choice for Swedes forced to work from home.

Radio Sweden Weekly: A government rift, eased travel restrictions, and a bridge turns 20

Thu, 02 Jul 2020 14:30:00 GMT

Some analysts believe a Green Party migration policy ultimatum this week could trigger an early election, but it's not clear who would benefit from such a shake-up.

And as Swedes got the all-clear to visit 14 countries in Europe, we headed to the airport to speak to travellers. We also hear from travel industry experts who describe the situation for Swedish tour operators and airlines as "catastrophic".

Meanwhile, the limited opportunities to travel abroad coupled with the government's decision to ease domestic travel restrictions has meant that the rate of travel within Sweden has shot up. Now, some regions worry about an influx of visitors putting a strain on local health services.

According to the latest figures from Sweden's Public Health Agency, published on Thursday July 2nd, the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases has now reached 70,639. A total of 5,411 people diagnosed with Covid-19 have died in Sweden. At the same time, a new survey shows that Swedes are less worried about Covid-19 and a second wave of the pandemic than their Nordic neighbours.

Finally, we head to the border for the 20-year anniversary of the Öresund Bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark. At the outset, the bridge was regarded as a symbol for a borderless Europe and seen as holding out great potential for regenerating the area. Since then, a financial crisis, a refugee crisis and a pandemic have taken their toll on the Öresund region dream.

Radio Sweden Weekly: no-shows at coronavirus test centres, volunteers rally to make up for PPE shortage, Swedes mark World Press Freedom Day

Thu, 07 May 2020 14:30:00 GMT

Drive-through test centres have been set up as part of the government's plans to scale up testing for Covid-19. The problem is, hardly anyone is showing up.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

So far, Sweden has carried out roughly 120,000 tests for the coronavirus, but the government has vowed to scale up testing to 100,000 per week, primarily for frontline and critical workers. They need a referral from a doctor or nurse to get swabbed at a drive-through test centre, but Radio Sweden visited a facility where the staff have very little to do.

Also, care workers have raised the alarm over a shortage in personal protective equipment. Now, Swedes are mobilising to produce everything from visors to facemasks. Radio Sweden has visited one of two pop-up factories in southern Stockholm where hundreds of volunteers have made 25,000 plastic gowns.

Plus, the campaign to get the Chinese-Swedish book seller and writer Gui Minhai released from a Chinese jail continued this week, as Swedish publishers and writers petitioned the Chinese embassy for Gui's release. The demonstration was timed to coincide with World Press Freedom Day and Gui's birthday. Radio Sweden was there.

Those stories and more, in this edition of Radio Sweden Weekly.

Radio Sweden Weekly: The WHO's facemask advice, Sweden's strategy under fire, Stockholm suburb hit hard by Covid-19, and an unusual Easter

Thu, 09 Apr 2020 14:30:00 GMT

Facemasks should be used for the protection of others but not for the protection of oneself.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

So says a world-leading epidemiologist and WHO adviser, in this Radio Sweden Weekly episode. But several countries have changed their guidance, prompted by new evidence that suggests the use of face masks in public places could help contain the covid-19 pandemic.

Plus, did Sweden do too little too late to stem the spread of the coronavirus? We hear from one of 2,000 academics who have raised the alarm over Sweden's strategy.

While Stockholm is the hardest hit area of Sweden, having reported a majority of the country’s confirmed covid-19 cases, the situation also looks different across the capital. We hear voices from the Rinkeby-Kista district. It's worst affected area in the Stockholm region.

Finally, health authorities and the prime minister have urged Swedes to stay home for Easter. We asked Stockholmers how they plan to spend the long weekend.

Plus, the Swedish economy is getting hammered by the pandemic, with the country posting record job losses for the month of March. We hear how that fallout is prompting some in the airline industry to retrain as healthcare workers.

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 15:30:00 GMT

Entering its third week of dealing with the public health crisis, officials have kept Sweden on a steady course even as others question its response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Sweden is stopping short of enacting large-scale, disruptive measures to fight the spread of the coronavirus and is instead opting for voluntary and comparatively more relaxed recommendations than other countries. We take a look at why that may be the case.

Plus, the government unveiled a crisis package for small and medium-sized businesses on Wednesday as the economic toll of the outbreak continues to deepen.

And how can people stay mentally healthy during these uncertain times? Hear from an psychologist on what effects a pandemic can have on someone's mental well-being and what they can do to mitigate the hardship.
