Domestic. With 73,000 granted residence permits up to and including the month of September, SD and the government look like they will succeed in getting immigration to land a little over 100,000 people this year as well. It shows new statistics from the Swedish Migration Agency.
SD and the government continue to pursue immigration at the same high level that the former moderate Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt introduced in Sweden in the early 2000s.
The new figures indicate that immigration will land at around 100,000 residence permits in total for the year 2024.
On average, Fredrik Reinfeldt annually granted 103,375 immigrants residence permits in Sweden during his eight years as Prime Minister 2006–2014.
For his part, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has promised a “paradigm shift” in Swedish immigration policy, but no significant changes have been made to immigration policy at all during the two years that SD and the Tidö government have been in power.
