In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan.

Why immigrant tech workers are challenging Sweden on citizenship
Manage episode 474023678 series 2943987

In this week's episode we have an interview with an American tech worker who has launched an initiative urging the government to reconsider its plans to tighten citizenship requirements.
Our panelists also discuss why Swedish politicians in Brussels have fought tooth and nail to retain the right for 15-year-old Swedes to drive extremely slowly in car-like contraptions on Swedish roads.
And why are the far-right Sweden Democrats floating the idea of a future partnership with the once all-powerful Social Democrats.
Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
Swedish citizenship
- ‘A trust breaker’: Foreign tech workers campaign against Swedish citizenship law
- OPINION: Swedish media must get better at covering immigrant perspectives
- Want to make Sweden more attractive, Johan Forssell? Listen to those already here
