What kind of bad conduct could get you kicked out of Sweden?

This week we talk about the Swedish culture of long summer holidays and how to make the most of them.Also: parliament has passed a law that will make it possible to revoke residence permits for “poor conduct”. Now that it has passed, will you live to regret that speeding fine?Why is the government pressing ahead with plans for mandatory ‘language preschools’ for children who don’t speak good Swedish, despite an official investigator saying that the idea was legally and practically difficult, and possibly discriminatory?And we look at how the government is finding it ever harder to get its agenda through parliament, as their plans to let 13 year olds go to jail were defeated.Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Mandy Pipher and Richard Orange. Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:Residency permitsSwedish parliament votes to revoke residency permits over 'poor conduct'MidsummerDo I get a day off in Sweden at Midsummer?What's open and what's closed in Sweden during Midsummer?PoliticsSweden tightens residency rules, but opposition's challenge delays child detention billClosed-doors agreement on Sweden's parliamentary pairing row collapsesSwedish government to push ahead with mandatory language preschool despite legal warningsGet Membership+ to listen to all The Local's podcastsSign up now and get early, ad-free access to a full-length episode of the Sweden in Focus podcast every weekend, as well as Sweden in Focus Extra every Wednesday.Please visit the link that applies to you and get a 40% discount on Membership+For signed-in members: Upgrade to Membership+For new members: Get Membership+ Read more about Membership+ in our help centre.  Become a member at https://www.thelocal.se/podcasts/podcast-offer?tpcc=padlock.
