“A Swedish municipality that took in one of the highest numbers of asylum seekers per population faces a crisis as natives move out and decimate the local tax base.” That municipality is Filipstad, and as they drive out locals, migrants have no interest in making up the shortfall in taxes. According to the local municipal manager, Claes Hultgren:Around 750 adults from Syria, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Iraq live in Filipstad…. In this group, unemployment and dependency are very high, while education levels are very low. This group runs the risk of eternal alienation that is already heavily burdening the municipal economy.Urban Pettersson, a Sweden Democrat and member of the local council in Filipstad, also stated:Ninety percent of the refugees don’t contribute to society. These people are going to have a lifelong dependence on social welfare. This is a huge problem.And beyond welfare, Pettersson addressed the general issue of integration that has been a major cause of the exodus of locals out of Filipstad:These immigrants don’t speak the same language…..They have different religions, different ways of life. If there are too many differences, it’s harder to get along. It’s interesting to meet someone from another country for maybe half an hour, but if you’re going to live together, it’s tough.The situation in Filipstad is mirrored in other localities that have seen a high Muslim migrant influx. This is happening in the city of Gothenberg, too. The crisis is reminiscent of the situation in France. Due to the Muslim migrant influx there, Jews have been fleeing France in drove. The alarming rise of antisemitism prompted Ricard Abitbol, President of the Confederation of Jews in France, to declare last year that “in a few decades, there will be no Jews in France.”“Every day we have people who are hurt, every day we have people who are insulted,” Ricard Abitbol, President of The Confederation of Jews in France and Friends of Israel told RT. “We can be hurt by words, but we don’t mind, but when we are hurt by a knife, a gun, you can’t say I don’t mind.”The safety of native citizens has been threatened, and the quality of life has become intolerable for many locals. The crisis doesn’t look as if it will improve. It is likely to worsen: for example, in mosques across Sweden, Muslim leaders are telling the media that mosques are teaching Swedish values — which is a requirement to receive state funding — but the leaders are mostly lying.Uppdrag granskning (Assignment Investigate), the investigative current affairs program of Swedish television (SVT) , went undercover with hidden camera to the most influential mosques around the country to find out what the real situation was.Here is some of what the investigations turned up:One of Sweden’s most respected, and well-frequented, mosques is located at the heart of Stockholm, at Medborgarplatsen. The government turns to the religious leaders there as being representative of the Muslim community in Sweden. As recently as February, Minister for Public Administration, Stefan Attefall, attended a Friday prayer service there. The Family Counsellor at this particular mosque replied to the questions presented by Assignment: Investigate undercover associate as follows: Men are allowed to take four wives, as long as he treats them fairly. He went on to say that a wife should never deny her husband sex, not even if he has beaten her, or has taken another wife. In addition to this, he discourages women from contacting the police: “If you do call the police that could cause trouble. Do you know why? Because the police will take him into custody,” the Imam admonished. Only two of the ten religious representatives felt women should go to the police. Two left the decision up to the woman herself…..In Malmö, the beating was even made light of. The man our associates spoke to used his own arm to demonstrate how hard it is okay to hit. “Never, ever even consider going to the police,” was his advice……..At nine of the Muslim congregations, Uppdrag gransknings associates were informed that the Koran, in certain circumstances, gives men the right to take several wives. Six of the representatives were taped as they explained how according to the Koran, a Muslim woman is not allowed to deny her husband sex – it is his right, even against her will.As a result of the hijrah, it isn’t only Sweden that faces a grim future, economically and otherwise, but other EU countries as well, thanks globalist leaders who abandoned their responsibility to exercise due diligence in screening refugees, and instead welcomed in massive numbers of Muslim migrants. Authorities have lost track of many, and a significant percentage of these migrants have no intention to integrate. Germany recently admitted to losing track of 13,000 migrants.These migrants have brought no-go zones, sharia patrols, sex attacks, a surge in violent antisemitism, the radicalization of prisons and mosques, threats of jihad attacks, and more to Europe.“Sweden: Municipality Inundated with Migrants Faces Tax Crisis as Native Swedes Flee,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 1, 2019:A Swedish municipality that took in one of the highest numbers of asylum seekers per population faces a crisis as natives move out and decimate the local tax base.The municipality of Filipstad took in many asylum seekers during the migrant crisis of 2015 and now are facing increasing costs as unemployment among migrants has surged and financial assistance rates have tripled, broadcaster SVT reports.Claes Hultgren, the local municipal manager, described the situation, saying of the migrant population: “In this group, unemployment and dependency are very high, while education levels are very low. This group runs the risk of ending in an eternal alienation that is already heavily burdening the municipal economy.”“They are too old maybe and are illiterate, or have a very low educational level. We must then accept that there will be some people who will need the support of society for their livelihood,” Hultgren added.Adding to the burden has been the exodus of native Swedes, with hundreds of natives leaving between 2012 and 2018 and an even higher number of foreigners arriving during the same period. Statistics show the vast majority of natives who left were of working age.While job vacancies still do exist in the municipality, the jobs require skills in language and training that few of the migrants possess.According to another report from SVT, the city of Gothenberg is undergoing a similar problem, with working-age native Swedes moving out of the city to nearby municipalities, often to buy a home, and taking their tax money with them…..
