Sweden was once celebrated as Europe’s most generous “humanitarian superpower.” But in 2026, the government proposed a controversial new law: migrants must live an “honest life” (bristande vandel) — or risk losing their residence permit and facing deportation.

What does “honest living” really mean? Why is Sweden changing course after years of open-door policies? And can generous welfare systems survive if newcomers aren’t expected to contribute?

In this thoughtful episode, we explore the economic realities, the erosion of social trust, success stories of real integration, voices of concern from human rights groups, and what this shift means for Europe and the world.

A calm, balanced look at one of the biggest migration debates of our time.
