Swedish Prime Minister on BBC's "Hard Talk"

The Swedish Prime minister, Fredrik Reingfeldt, was being interviewed at BBC's "Hard talk" this morning. And even though I most of the time do not agree with his policies and ideologies, I was pretty proud when he was pin pointing that the rest of the EU and the USA should welcome more refugees from Iraq.

He admitted that the huge amount of refugees from Iraq, that Sweden has welcomed, has strained the country, but that those problems don't mean that we should not welcome more refugees, only that we have to work on making it easier for refugees to get employment and to be integrated.

For the first time ever, I think, I was pretty proud of Fredrik Reinfeldt.
