In this week’s episode the immigration lawyer Tomas Fridh chats with The Local’s Nordic editor Richard Orange about the government’s plan to revoke permanent residency permits from foreign citizens in Sweden.

What are the criticisms of the proposal, who would be affected, and how likely is it that the government will push it through?

Fridh explains that the Swedish Bar Association has given five reason that each would constitute grounds to ditch the plan.

"I believe that in both Swedish and European law, it is forbidden to have random reasons for laws where the state uses force against individuals," he says.

"Where you take rights away from individuals you cannot be discriminatory, and you cannot be random,"

Tune in to this week's episode for the full interview with Tomas Fridh.
