A social democrat MP pushing for mixing low-income apartment buildings with single-family homes to force integration of immigrants and native Swedes is herself safe from having her home life affected by the proposal: She lives in a single-family home—in Denmark, Samnytt reports.
In May, the Swedish tenants’ union presented a radical proposal identifying highly desirable subdivisions with single-family homes where, it suggested, 600,000 apartments for low-income families ought to be built. And not on existing green spaces between private lots either—according to the proposal, each single-family homeowner should be forced to give up part of his lot for the construction of an apartment building. This, the tenants’ union said, would open up for a “more mixed population.”
A proposal along similar lines was adopted by the Social Democrat party congress a few weeks later.
“Efforts to hold society together and break segregation need to be strengthened,” the new party platform says. “Urban planning must, in all aspects, counteract segregation—particularly in the housing sector.”
Immigrants who prefer living among their own people would risk losing welfare support. Homeowners opposing the forced integration, however, would have little recourse.
Lawen Redar, the Social Democrats’ cultural policy spokesman and a leading voice for the housing integration policy, told Aftonbladet, “Is this a complete reversal in a policy area where we’re forced to address the challenges we face? I believe it is. … We are serious about breaking segregation and using housing policy as a driving force in that work.”
She later claimed on social media that there’s no plan to cram apartment buildings into villa subdivisions—on the contrary, she said, she wants single-family homes to be built among apartment complexes in “at-risk areas.”
Apparently, the Social Democrats themselves don’t intend to be bothered with low-income housing where they rest their heads at night. The 35-year-old Redar, who has been an MP for eleven years, lives with her Danish husband in a villa in Copenhagen, Denmark. Party chair Magdalena Andersson, when asked in a TV interview with Expressen if she would consider moving to an immigrant-rich neighborhood to “help integration,” responded, “I have no plans to move at all. … I mean, the whole question is pathetic—that’s not what this is about.”
