This Radio Sweden Weekly podcast discusses proposed changes to Swedish citizenship laws. The main points covered include increased residency requirements (from 5 to 8 years for work permit holders, and similar increases for other categories), stricter financial requirements, and the possibility of revoking citizenship for serious crimes. A key debate centers on the potential backdating of these changes and whether applications pending at the time of implementation would be affected. The podcast also touches on the proposed (but ultimately rejected by the investigator) introduction of a loyalty oath for new citizens.
