According to Epressen.se (translated into English):
Sweden’s need for welfare increases faster than our revenues.
Then the Minister of Finance, Magdalena Andersson, raises the height of retirement age.
“Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,” says Magdalena Andersson to Dina Pengar.
Andersson also implied the elderly will just need to “suck it up” to help out migrants:
She believes that there must be an attitude change in the elderly in the labor market.
“Those who are high up in the ages will have the opportunity to work longer,” says the finance minister.
Friatider.se (also translated into English) was even more frank with the news:
The minimum age for obtaining general pension will be increased gradually from 61 years, as it is today, to 64 years in 2026.
You should, therefore, be able to retire at the age of 64 at the earliest. In addition, employees must be entitled to work for 69 years.
“As we live longer, we also have to work longer if pensions can continue to grow. This agreement is an important step towards longer working life and thus higher pensions and more resources for welfare, “said the Alliance parties’ four representatives in the Pension Group in a statement.
But what it really is about is the big immigration to Sweden. This was reported Sweden’s municipalities and county councils (SKL) in its financial report earlier years.

B-b-b-but, didn't they say all those young migrants would SAVE retirement?

What you're seeing is Liberal Hegemony/Neoliberal Extremism in action; even when the policy produces the opposite results promised, they shamelessly preserver. It's an extremist ideology like Marxism or Randian Capitalism.

No one wakes up on morning in Afghanistan or Somalia and says to themselves "Yeah, I really want to live in an apartment in Malmo, Sweden", they come for the welfare. Eventually, they will break the welfare state and Sweden will collapse, unable to pay for them. Once that happens, they will scatter like cockroaches do when the light turns on.

But when the refugee child sexually attacked her own daughter, she refused to report: "Otherwise, he may be expelled"
Now the refugee child is judged - but not the mother - for social services

DOMESTIC. A middle-aged woman who worked at a HVB home started a relationship with one of the refugee children and allowed him to move home. It ended with exposing her 12-year-old daughter to sexual assault - but the woman refused to report the Afghan but allowed him to stay with her daughter.
"I was afraid he would be sent back to Afghanistan," the woman explained.

The girl told her during the trial that her mother, who was 45, had worked for a single-family residence in Sölvesborg.

When one of the refugees "became official" and could not live on the accommodation, the mother opened a relationship with him and let him move into her home.

Soon, Afghans began to be close to the woman's 12-year-old daughter and would like to hug and kiss the girl.

One Saturday night at the end of September 2017, when they sat playing cards and the refugee kid drank alcohol, he wanted to dance with the daughter. When the mother went to the toilet, he put his hand inside the 12-year-old dress and panties and drew his fingers back and forth.

The girl got crushed and ran into the bedroom. She told her mom what had happened. But after confronting the refugee child, the middle aged woman let her Afghan boyfriend stay still.

Got to stay - despite the abuse
"He stayed with us, but it felt strange to me," said the girl during the trial.

The day after the 12-year-old refused to go home from school to her mother without contacting her father, who has separated from her mother. Because the mother refused to report her new boyfriend to police, the father made it.

"Mom did not want to report a police report because she was afraid that the [Afghan] should leave Sweden," said the girl.

The woman himself confirmed this during the trial. She explained that she was "afraid that [he] should be sent back to Afghanistan".

Yet it’s still hard for Swedish authorities to be frank about what’s going on. It’s widely known that gang members are mainly first- and second-generation immigrants, and problems are rampant in what police euphemistically refer to as ‘vulnerable areas’. Thus the gang wars serve as a constant reminder of Sweden’s failed migration and integration policies. This is a problem for the government (and even the opposition) in a country that prides itself on being a ‘humanitarian superpower’. And yet politicians, in government and opposition, seem particularly concerned that violence in immigrant suburbs is a PR problem, a threat to the image of Sweden, and that the remedy is spin.

There was a video circulating taken with a cell phone in a public bus in a bigger Swedish city where maybe 18 year old immigrant commanded a maybe 40 year old woman to leave the seat so he can have the whole bench for himself. Of course amongst grand gestures of fighting an punching the interior of the bus. No Swede stepped in. 2 reasonably abled guys could have beaten this rapefugee bloody into submission and taught him a valuable lesson, but there's a mix of cowardice and fear of the migrants and of their own government (coming after them if they start defending themselves). I like the fact that such rapefugee would be taken out in no time here in the US because we have the freedom to rough one up or even put a bullet into their head if necessary if they don't show proper manners. Swedish politicians should be driven out of the country with torches and pitchforks for the traitors to their own people they have been the past decades, and that includes the many female hags.

Sweden’s violent reality is undoing a peaceful self-image

STOCKHOLM — Sweden may be known for its popular music, IKEA and a generous welfare state. It is also increasingly associated with a rising number of Islamic State recruits, bombings and hand grenade attacks.

In a period of two weeks earlier this year, five explosions took place in the country. It’s not unusual these days — Swedes have grown accustomed to headlines of violent crime, witness intimidation and gangland executions. In a country long renowned for its safety, voters cite “law and order” as the most important issue ahead of the general election in September.

The topic of crime is sensitive, however, and debate about the issue in the consensus-oriented Scandinavian society is restricted by taboos.

Gang-related gun murders, now mainly a phenomenon among men with immigrant backgrounds in the country’s parallel societies, increased from 4 per year in the early 1990s to around 40 last year. Because of this, Sweden has gone from being a low-crime country to having homicide rates significantly above the Western European average. Social unrest, with car torchings, attacks on first responders and even riots, is a recurring phenomenon.

Shootings in the country have become so common that they don’t make top headlines anymore, unless they are spectacular or lead to fatalities. News of attacks are quickly replaced with headlines about sports events and celebrities, as readers have become desensitized to the violence. A generation ago, bombings against the police and riots were extremely rare events. Today, reading about such incidents is considered part of daily life.

The rising levels of violence have not gone unnoticed by Sweden’s Scandinavian neighbors. Norwegians commonly use the phrase “Swedish conditions” to describe crime and social unrest. The view from Denmark was made clear when former President of NATO and Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in an interview on Swedish TV: “I often use Sweden as a deterring example.”

In response, the Swedish government has launched an international campaign for “the image of Sweden” playing down the rise in crime, both in its media strategy and through tax-funded PR campaigns. During a visit to the White House in March, Sweden’s Prime Minister Stefan Löfven admitted that his country has problems with crime and specifically shootings, but denied the existence of no-go zones. Sweden’s education minister, Gustav Fridolin, traveled to Hungary last week with the same message.

But the reality is different for those on the ground: The head of the paramedics’ union Ambulansförbundet, Gordon Grattidge, and his predecessor Henrik Johansson recently told me in an interview that some neighborhoods are definitely no-go for ambulance drivers — at least without police protection.

Since crime is intimately linked to the country’s failure to integrate its immigrants, the rise in violence is a sensitive subject. When the Swedish government and opposition refer to the country as a “humanitarian superpower” because it opened its doors to more immigrants per capita during the migrant crisis than any other EU country, they mean it. This has resulted in some impressive contortions.

In March, Labor Market Minister Ylva Johansson appeared on the BBC, where she claimed that the number of reported rapes and sexual harassment cases “is going down and going down and going down.” In fact, the opposite is true, which Johansson later admitted in an apology.

Similarly, in an op-ed for the Washington Post, former Prime Minister Carl Bildt described the country’s immigration policy as a success story. He did not elaborate on violent crime. After repeated attacks against Jewish institutions in December — including the firebombing of a synagogue in Gothenburg — Bildt took to the same paper to claim that anti-Semitism is not a major problem in Sweden.

“Historically, in Sweden it was the Catholics that were seen as the dangerous threat that had to be fought and restricted,” Bildt claimed, seemingly unaware that the laws he cited also applied to Jews. Intermarriage was illegal and hostility was based on ideas of Jews as racially inferior. Bildt’s attempt to relativize current anti-Semitism with odd and inaccurate historical arguments reflects how nervously Swedish elites react to negative headlines about their country.

Another spectacular example is an official government website on “Facts about migration, integration and crime in Sweden,” which alleges to debunk myths about the country. One “false claim” listed by the government is that “Not long ago, Sweden saw its first Islamic terrorist attack.”

This is surprising, since the Uzbek jihadist Rakhmat Akilov has pleaded guilty to the truck ramming that killed five people in Stockholm last April and swore allegiance to the Islamic State prior to the attack. Akilov, who is currently standing trial, has proudly repeated his support for ISIS and stated that his motive was to kill Swedish citizens. He also had documented contacts with international jihadis.

The government’s excuse for denying the Islamic terrorist attack in Sweden is that no Islamic group has officially claimed responsibility. Given the importance these days of fighting fake news, the Swedish government’s tampering with politically inconvenient facts looks particularly irresponsible.

Sometimes it takes an outsider to put things in perspective. A recent piece by Bojan Pancevski in London’s Sunday Times put a spotlight on immigration and violent crime. The article caused a scandal in Sweden and was widely seen as part of the reason why the British and Canadian foreign ministries issued travel advice about the country, citing gang crime and explosions. “They make it sound as if violence is out of control,” said Stefan Sintéus, Malmö’s chief of police.

It didn’t seem to occur to the police chief that both the travel advice and the article could reflect the same underlying reality. After all, only a few days earlier, a police station in Malmö was rocked by a hand grenade attack. Earlier the same month, a police car in the city was destroyed in an explosion.

Officials may be resigned to the situation. But in a Western European country in peacetime, it is reasonable to view such levels of violence as out of control.

25 years ago, a single hand grenade being used would have been front page news, and It probably would have turned out some kid found one that was used on a former Army training ground and threw it into a dumpster, nobody getting hurt.

The Swedish media would have covered the story for weeks. "Kids and violence. Have we disposed of our Military Facilities appropriately? How can we make sure it doesn't happen again? Hans Yaakmussen, defense minister, to hold emergency meeting about unexploded ordinance."

Today it's like "Don't mention the explosion last weekend, or the big one two weeks ago, or the one yesterday. We don't want to overemphasize this and create an atmosphere of anti-migrant violence."

Swedish parliament member plans to move to Hungary because there are fewer migrants

Ekeroth, who was elected in Sweden’s parliament, will emigrate to Hungary once his term as an MP ends before the upcoming September election.

“To start with they have no immigration. That’s the most important thing. They value their own culture highly and the grounds on which European civilisation rest,” he said.

According to Ekeroth, another reason for moving to Hungary is that he will no longer have access to personal security once he quits as an MP.

If Hungary has no immigration, how is Ekeroth getting in? Eastern Europe should keep out other Europeans who are only coming in to escape the nest they fouled. How does Hungary know that this "compassionate" Swede won't campaign for Muslim immigrants to Hungary?

EU citizens can work in all countries, incl. E. European ones. "Refugees" are accepted mostly in W. Europe, and E Europe avoids them. That is what was meant probably.

Unintended consequences of liberal policies may include: assault, rape, death, destruction of civilization.
