In this week's episode our panelists discuss two stories affecting work permit holders after parliament voted through a new law targeting former asylum seekers for expulsion from Sweden and Northvolt filed for bankruptcy.
We also ask if Sweden should be doing more to involve immigrants in the construction of a cultural canon that could be used for citizenship tests.
For Membership+ subscribers we find out what Americans are telling us about why they’re moving to Sweden and finally we delve into why a proposed new surveillance law has prompted messaging services WhatsApp and Signal to consider leaving Sweden.
Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and James Savage.
