We elected a new government in 2022. 'We like nuclear energy' and 'We don't like crime' were understandably popular. So, just this week, the minister for migration is announcing that we had the lowest number of asylum seekers since 1997. And net emigration (not immigration) for the first time in 50 years, with Syria, Iraq and Somalia among the places where more people left for, rather than come from.

see: https://regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2024/08/fler-utvandrar-an-invandrar-till-sverige-for-forsta-gangen-pa-over-50-ar/ (in Swedish but google translate does a good job). So it may be that the taboo is a thing of the past? It will take a while before we know for sure.
