In a long interview with the YouTube channel Dialogiskt, the Social Democrats’ spokesperson on integration issues, Lawen Redar, is interviewed about, among other topics, the party’s plan to forcibly mix the population. According to the top S official, the goal is “to break segregation” and that “the opposite of mixing is segregation”—something that can no longer continue.

Last year, the Social Democrats adopted a new party program with a clear focus on advancing their so-called integration efforts after many years of mass immigration. Among other things, the document states:

“Efforts to keep society together and break segregation need to increase,” the new party program reads, as well as: “Urban planning in all its aspects that counters segregation, especially in the housing sector.”

Among the more striking proposals is a strategy intended to push through so-called integration by mixing the population. Rental apartments are to be built in white, Swedish-dominated suburban villa neighborhoods, where immigrants will be relocated.

Immigrants who refuse to live in mixed areas may risk losing welfare benefits, while homeowners in affected areas are given no chance to influence the decision.

In a new interview on YouTube with Dialogiskt, S-top official Lawen Redar elaborates on her thoughts regarding the plans to mix the population to break segregation and parallel societies.

“Well, the opposite of mixing is segregation and the emergence of parallel societies,” she asserts.

She is convinced that the majority of Swedes want to see this as a solution to the problems, saying she has already charted what types of neighbors Swedes prefer.

“The majority population, just like everyone in society, thinks this segregation isn’t good. Vulnerable areas and parallel societies are bad because they affect us all. What people want are those who do the right thing, abide by the law, contribute to society, and speak the language. That’s the set of requirements I believe most people have.”

The host Victor De Almeida brings up the term “forced integration” and draws parallels to the Soviet Union, also stating that he understands Lawen Redar dislikes the term.

“No, but you don’t actually have any compulsory proposals here. What it’s about is that people shouldn’t have to flee from areas. If it’s safe, if the schools function well, it looks good and you can feel the investment, then of course people don’t need to move away.”

Boasts that S is the only party solving the problems

Lawen Redar is asked how she perceives the reception regarding the Social Democrats’ new plans to break segregation and mix the population. She further boasts that people say “finally, after 30 years, there’s someone who wants to solve this”—even though the Social Democrats themselves are responsible for the situation.

Redar defends herself against accusations of forced mixing and argues that her goal is not to force anyone but only to upgrade problem areas and make them more attractive for others to move into.

At the same time, Lawen Redar emphasizes in the interview that immigrants “should not end up” in these areas, which opens the door for them to be placed in other municipalities—in effect still a form of forced mixing.

“In the vulnerable areas, I am actually very struck by the enormous positive response I get. I say we should abolish EBO and that newly arrived immigrants shouldn’t end up here. We will have a strict migration policy for a foreseeable time, and it’s now time to invest in these areas,” she says and continues:

“People welcome this. They are thankful that there is finally a politician who, after 30 years, speaks plainly and wants to do something about the situation. I have to say, I did not expect this response, but people are very grateful.”

The tenant association, which is closely linked to the Social Democrats, has already presented its plan. They want to radically change the housing structure: every villa lot should be subdivided, and on new lots, rental apartments should be built. The idea is that each homeowner will thus get rental apartments as neighbors, in order to create a more mixed population.

“We Need to Bring Down Unemployment”

In another part of the interview, the S top official complains about high unemployment, without mentioning that it has largely been exacerbated by immigrants who have proven difficult to employ.

Migrants who have come to Sweden due to the Social Democrats’ policy, who were never required to learn the language or enter the workforce. But this is something Lawen Redar does not mention in the interview.

“In Sweden, unemployment has increased by one hundred thousand people. We are in a situation where we are one of the worst countries in Europe when it comes to very high unemployment. So what should be done? Well, you need to build housing,” she says, among other things.

Further steps, she argues, are to reach an “energy agreement” to attract foreign investment. Third, to make sure we have “many people in education.”

The S-top official was also asked how she views the fact that many immigrant families have many children and live on benefits. This is a reality Lawen Redar does not want to acknowledge.

“I am… [sighs]… I don’t want to ethnify the issue,” Lawen Redar says, while at the same time admitting that S policy has led to people staying home instead of working.
