Sweden passes law to criminalize any criticism of immigration
Spiesa ^

Posted on 10/20/2014 9:18:43 AM PDT by Lazamataz

A new law will come into effect in Sweden after Christmas 2014, that will allow people to be prosecuted for criticizing immigration or politician’s unwillingness to tackle the issue.

The Constitutional Committee’s report has been voted for in parliament, seen in a letter from the Parliamentary Offices. Member of Parliament Andrew Norlén, member of the Constitutional Committee, has been pushing the issue and he says it will rapidly become a deterrent.

...

Without freedom of speech there can be no democracy. If you are not allowed to say certain things then parties that support your ideas cannot exist and Sweden is at high risk of turning into a communist USSR-like country.

I think it’s not only the government. They can’t complain about the way a certain group has moved into their country, taking over big segments of their town and cities, and insisting their laws be enforced.

Is there the equivalent of the SCOTUS in Sweden to which one can appeal to overthrow what in the US would be an unconstitutional law?

The only party opposing immigration recently more than doubled their vote total to almost 14%, becoming the 3rd largest party in the Swedish Parliament. Their campaign, opposing immigration. Co-incidence? I think not.

Also the ONLY party (i.e., their party leader) excluded from attending the Nobel Prize festivities. Pariahs in their own country. The will of their upstanding Swedish voters be damned.

Yep, from Quisling to basically destroying incentive through socialist policies post-war.

Umm “Quisling” was Norway. Sweden was “Neutral(in other words COWARDS)”!

“European immigration to the States, deprived Europe of millions of their BEST people, who then raised generations of Americans.”

Not disagreeing, but then what happened.

Probably the SAME thing that overtook the English, French, Dane, Norwegians, Swedes, all the way back to the Romans.
World history is a tragic list of countries and empires that rose to the very top and then..........Where are they now?
Certain signs can be seen HERE, can’t they?

I thought this was satire, until I realized it was dealing with the country that tried to outlaw satellite dishes for personal homes because average Swedes might, among other things, end up getting news from unapproved sources. God help Sweden and the true Swedes.

On the bright side, the social stigma of voting what you believe is breaking down. The Moderate Party, mislabeled as conservatives, lost the most votes to the Swedish Democrats. Are they going to have a survival instinct and change their views on immigration? Or will they continue to commit political suicide?

No, this law (or amendment to law sooner) will not render the mere questioning of present Swedish immigration policies a criminal act.

But yes, in the end it will make it harder to criticize Sweden’s ‘national idea’ of perpetual mass immigration and the Multiculturalist paradigm of every other culture being superior to Western civilization. Especially through mocking such standards by debate, art, satire and other such bold expressions of freedom.
