About this episode

The government's citizenship proposal is facing legal criticism from Sweden's Council on Legislation: but does this mean they could be challenged in court?

We hear from law professor Joakim Nergelius at Örebro University, who gives his view of the likelihood of a legal challenge the lack of transition rules in the government's draft bill.

Also: Why are Nordic citizens not getting a longer residency requirement for citizenship, and is the gap between Nordic and non-Nordic residents fair?

Plus: Finland is in the process of its own citizenship shake-up – and foreign residents there aren't happy. We're joined by journalist Ronan Browne from Finnish public service channel YLE's English podcast All Points North.
