100 percent of the violence is related to migration

Sweden has a rich history of immigration from various parts of the world. In the 1950s and 1960s, this included young people from Finland who sought better living conditions due to challenges in their home country's rural areas. These individuals made significant contributions to Sweden's growing industries, and their descendants are now well-integrated into Swedish society. One notable example is the world-renowned discus thrower, Daniel Ståhl.

Subsequently, Sweden has welcomed people primarily from developing countries, but their integration into society has been less successful. This has led Jimmie Åkesson, the leader of the Swedish Democrats, to assert that migration is the primary factor behind the recent surge in violence in Sweden. 

Åkesson explicitly stated that "100 percent of the violence is related to migration." He continued by highlighting the consequences of Sweden's migration policy, suggesting that it has allowed certain groups to flourish and led to individuals who were born in Sweden but identify more with gangs or clans or even mentally in other parts of the world.

This kind of speech would face serious repercussions in contemporary Finland, where the speaker might be labeled as a "Nazi" or at the very least, a "racist." The key difference lies in the smaller number of individuals with roots in the developing world in Finland and the less severe problems associated with them compared to Sweden. However, it is becoming increasingly evident in Finland that immigrants from Islamic countries are also causing issues on this side of the Baltic Sea.

As a result, it will be intriguing to observe how long it takes for Finland to openly discuss issues related to specific immigrant groups without facing negative labels. Hopefully, this process will not be prolonged to the point where Finland encounters problems similar to those currently faced by Sweden.
