Radio Sweden Weekly: Brexit deportations land Sweden in the headlines
Description
Two more British citizens who've lived in Sweden for decades are facing deportation, as a result of changed residency requirements after Brexit.
We hear from Joyce Thomas, 78, one of those who's been told to leave Sweden, as well as Carl Mason whose elderly father George is also facing deportation — despite needing round-the-clock dementia care.
Also: Sweden's new citizenship test on civic knowledge will be taken for the first time this weekend, but while anyone who fails will get another go, failing future versions of the test will mean having your citizenship application refused.
Plus: We round off Radio Sweden's series of interviews in English with the leaders of Sweden's eight parliamentary parties, focused on three key issues: immigration, labour migration and employment. And news about Radio Sweden Weekly's new pod feed.
