So it looks like Volvo cannot attract foreign experts and engineers because of Sweden's worsening reputation (shootings etc)

Fears of Muslim riots: Police mobilize in Sweden ahead of Davis Cup clash against Israel Police officers have been mobilized across Stockholm, which will host the upcoming Davis Cup matches between Sweden and Israel, to prevent potential anti-Israel rampages.

The Swedish players prefer the softer gravel in Båstad over the harder indoor ground in Stockholm, which suits the Israelis' faster tennis hands.

Sweden won seven Davis Cups between 1975-1998 and are fifth on the all-time list of champions.

A new report now revealed in Swedish media has confirmed that almost all of the shooting suspects in the multicultural city of Malmö (Sweden) indeed have migrant backgrounds.

The findings of Sydsvenskan’s survey of course mirror statistical findings from a similar SVT investigation in 2018. The study confirmed the expected truth that foreign men committed the vast majority of rapes (around 85 percent) in Sweden.

"Löfven, you have lost control of Sweden," the leader of the largest opposition party Ulf Kristersson recently wrote in an article in the daily newspaper Aftonbladet, in which he criticized Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.

Kristersson's predecessor, Frederik Reinfeldt, who was prime minister (PM) of Sweden from 2006 to 2014 and chairman of the Moderate Party from 2003 to 2015, did not share these concerns. In 2014, Reinfeldt urged Swedes to "Open your hearts" to the refugees of the world.

Another reality is that terrorism is now a threat everywhere in Sweden, and therefore even smaller municipalities need to be prepared for terrorist acts to occur. From the beginning of 2019 to the end of July, there were 120 bombings in Sweden, according to police statistics.

In another recent op-ed in Aftonbladet, a member of parliament for the Moderate Party, Josefin Malmqvist, appealed to Morgan Johansson, who serves as Minister of Justice and Minister for Migration Policy, to "Stop the rapes – you are letting the women down."

Another population group that has been suffering under the lack of law and order endemic in Sweden is children. According to BRÅ, there has been a significant increase in robberies against young people in recent years. In just a few years, the number of reports of robberies against people under 18 has significantly increased, from 1,084 reported robberies in 2015 to 1,896 in 2018 -- an increase of 75%. There have already been 1,247 reports of robberies against young people in 2019 so far. According to Sven Granath, a criminologist with the Swedish police, the increase in robberies against young people could be because it has become harder to rob older people or to steal from shops. "It has become harder and then they go after a group that cannot protect itself as well. They also have what other youths want, such as mopeds, phones and jewelry" said Granath.

Public libraries in multicultural Sweden, are now places where undesirable and criminal behavior like sexual harassment, drug dealing, and violence have now become commonplace.

The Trade Union for Culture, Communication, and Advertising surveyed in polling over 4,700 librarians from Sweden to reveal some trends that should be alarming.

The most pressing problem according to the survey’s respondents is social unrest – defined as intoxication, fighting, and aggressiveness toward staff or visitors. The survey revealed that social unrest has increased from 73 percent in 2017 to 81 percent of Swedish libraries today.

55 percent of public library staff and 42 percent of responding school librarians reported that they had witnessed violent situations in the previous two years. Close to half (47%) of those who were surveyed reported that drug dealing had occurred in their libraries over the past two years.

While 18 percent of survey respondent said that violence occurs every week, four percent reported that violence takes place on a daily basis.

Many want special treatment – free of charge, write off debt, borrow for as long as possible – and become aggressive when they do not get what they want, said one of the surveyed librarians.

Librarians are not trained for this, they work with reading promotion and information retrieval. Not dealing with drunk people, mentally ill or socially vulnerable people. One in five librarians reported that they’ve considered quitting or switching careers in the past two years.

I actually wanted to buy a Volvo until I went to test drive one. Every one in my trim level comes with built-in carseats. 1. I'm not paying for carseats that I don't need. 2. Those hidden carseats created a crumb and dirt depository in the lower cushion that I would have to clean.

Problem with volvo is not immigrants, it's their product.

Sweden hasn't adapted to being multicultural and believed it's own bs about being the best place to live, when it's really just cold with boring food and stores that close at 6.

The problem with Sweden is they’re led by a stupid, racist, dictator wannabe who wants to hand the country to Russia. Oh, sorry, that’s USA, my bad.

I thought Volvo was a Chinese company that has switched to unreliable noisy tiny turbo engines instead of using reliable smooth as butter v6's and v8's/

Who creates all these posts? Must be russian trolls since most americans can’t tell us apart from switzerland. Btw most of this is bullshit.

In just 48 hours, several violent incidents – including a knife murder, multiple mass car fires, gunfire, and a bombing – all played out in Sweden.

In Gávle, a man was stabbed to death at a mall on Thursday morning. Police are currently investigating the murder.

In Helsingborg, seven cars were destroyed in two separate infernos that were started. According to police, an unknown perpetrator is believed to have started the fires,

Near Uppsals, police were called to a crime scene where witnesses had reported hearing gunfire near their apartment building. After arriving at the scene, police confirmed that gunshots had indeed taken place. Bullet holes were found in walls of several apartments, while shell casings were also found,

To the west in Skåne, a fire that engulfed three vehicles spread to a nearby government building. Officials say that had firefighters not arrived quickly, it could have been a major disaster for the city.

In Borås, a multi-family apartment building was rattled by a ‘heavy explosion’ that occurred late at night. "The houses shook, it really felt strong. There are broken glass panes and a staircase that has been destroyed.” Although the investigation is in its preliminary stages, police believe that some kind of explosive was thrown into the stairwell.

148 victims were treated for gunshot wounds in Sweden in 2018, marking a 20 percent increase compared to the previous year. The figure has more than doubled since 2012.

The statistics come from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare patient register The board mentions that the figures do not include those died as a result of gunshots.

Lennart Andersson, the head of the Karolinska University trauma center, “We don’t see everyone here, because many die before they come here. These are more violent acts of aggression. We can get an alarm, but they never come because they are already dead on the spot. That has changed.”

Deaths which have resulted from shootings also reached record numbers last year in Sweden, while over 800 firearms were seized and about 300 individuals were arrested for suspected firearm offenses.

What a resoundingly safe statistic!

In an effort to get guns off the streets, Sweden announced that anyone turning in a gun will get $300, while anyone not turning in a gun will get whatever they want.

Looks like a storm of angst.

Definitely Russian trolls running this thread, but they can’t help it: Putin would execute them if they complain.

Swedish television recently made a documentary about the small, picturesque town of Filipstad (population 10,000, which finds itself in both a financial and an existential crisis.

"We are experiencing a population exchange. You can think of that what you want... But it is simply a statement of fact that this is actually what we are going through and we have to deal with it", Jim Frölander, integration manager in the Filipstad municipality, says in the documentary.

Between 2012 and 2018, 640 native Swedes left the town, and 963 foreign-born people moved into the town. Those leaving are people of working age (20-64), which means that the municipality's tax revenues are shrinking, exacerbating town's financial crisis.

Contrarily, those arriving are of a different breed. "In Filipstad, there are around 750 adults from Syria, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Iraq.... In this group, unemployment and dependency are very high, while education levels are very low. This group runs the risk of ending in an eternal exclusion that is already heavily burdening the municipal economy. We must accept that there will be some people who will need the support of society for their livelihood."

Filipstad is far from the only Swedish municipality to experience these problems. Swedes are leaving their towns and cities for other reasons such as a lack of personal security. Emma Zetterholm, who chose to leave Malmö with her family after living in the city for 18 years. I still love Malmö but my family and I cannot live here" she told the newspaper. "The violence crept closer and closer to me, my relatives, friends and colleagues.

Six years ago, Zetterholm moved into an idyllic area with old villas. Soon enough, however, car-torchings, shootings and explosions filled the night. An illegal nightclub operated close by and the noise around it -- explosions and shootings -- went on all night. Neighbors who complained received verbal threats and stones thrown through their windows. One day, a man was murdered in broad daylight, close to a playground full of people. At other times, children were nearly hit by bullets that had gone through windows.

Zetterholm explains that she felt that her family's situation was bizarre but she still kept trying to convince herself that it was not that dangerous. She says it feels "awful" to be part of a trend where "well-educated, white middle class flee problematic areas." I have tried to defend Malmö, she said, But the more time passes and you notice that there is no improvement, you eventually lose your resilience"

At least ten families have left the area now, she said, many for other areas in the south of Sweden. Many Swedes are leaving their cities, but some have decided to leave the country altogether.

Littorin, who also served as party Secretary, read about a Swedish boy who was abused, robbed and whose life was threatened by gangs, with Swedish authorities telling him not to report it to the police as this would make things 'worse' for him. This was one of the vilest texts I've read in a long time wrote the former minister about the story.

"As a parent, you become angry, desperate...The result is that those who can, and can afford it, move. From Uppsala or Saltsjö Boo. To a quieter part of the country or abroad. Those who do not have the same opportunities [to move] remain where they are. It's devastating..."

About 13 percent of the population in Sweden experience problems in their own residential areas with crime, violence or vandalism. It is one of the highest proportions in Europe.

I don’t think the Swedish leader should be dumped just because he helped Russia by extorting their enemies.

Oh, sorry! That was trump...

Russia! Russia! Russia!

Sweden now ranks 24th out of 28 EU member states in unemployment, continuing to skyrocket thanks to vast numbers of welfare-dependent migrants, despite promises from PM Löfven to reduce rates.

In 2013, PM Löfven set a goal for Sweden to have the lowest unemployment rate of any EU member-state by 2020. He is currently only 23 places away from this entering reality.

The unemployment rate for migrants living in Sweden was 19.9% percent, compared to just 3.6% percent for native Swedes. (Swedish Public Employment Service , 2018)

Many Swedish local municipalities now face financial woes and ruin as an implicit result of this aching strain imposed on their generous welfare systems. Let us see, the Swedish municipality of Bengtsfors where local officials go and beg the Swedish national government for extensive packages of financial aid , all due to the crushing financial burdens resulting from welfare-dependent migrants.

Another, Hässelholm indulged in nearly 3,000 migrants in three quite short years, now faces its financial ruin as up to 80% percent of these migrants persist on welfare dependency.
