What's the latest on Sweden's tougher criteria for residency and citizenship?

Host Paul O’Mahony is joined this week by The Local Sweden’s Becky Waterton and Emma Löfgren.

After Sweden’s parliament reopened last week after the summer break, the panelists discuss what Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said would be the government’s priorities for the year ahead. 

Two years into the government’s term, how is its much-vaunted ‘paradigm shift’ on migration progressing? 

And finally we examine some potential stumbling blocks for the right-wing coalition as it enters the second half of its four-year term, from a proposed begging ban to plans to deport people for flawed conduct – ‘bristande vandel ‘.
