Sweden was once known for its beautiful landscape and safety.
It used to be a country with beautiful people and economically strong - a global leader in innovation and a significant player in the tech industry with a highly skilled workforce.
It was home to top world-ranking industries and businesses like Volvo, SAAB, Ericsson, H&M, Electrolux, Alfa Laval, Scania, Spotify, Skanska, Securitas, and IKEA to name a few, AND the home of of the Nobel prizes. And ABBA, Roxette, Europe, Ace of Base, Dr Alban, and The Cardigans. And BjΓΆrn Borg.
With only a 7.5 million population, it straddled the world. That's nearly 2 million fewer people that live within London's M25.
Now Sweden has become the bomb and rape capital of Europe.
The country’s safety ranking has significantly declined, from being consistently in the top three for many years to 15th place in 2024.
