Sweden has eroded citizenship, says Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) "Even criminals have easily been able to become Swedish citizens," he said in a speech on the national day. The government wants it to take more to become a Swedish citizen.

People must have lived in Sweden longer and there must be clear requirements for an honest way of life and requirements for self-support, says the Prime Minister. He promises that the government will introduce compulsory language preschool for children who need it.
