Employment and Integration Minister Mats Persson stated, "The goal of the new investigation is to find out to what extent immigrants' values match or deviate from what Persson calls liberal democratic values." He emphasized the need to understand the situation, saying, "In Sweden, we pride ourselves on women's rights and our view on gay people." This indicates the government's focus on integrating immigrants while assessing their alignment with Swedish democratic principles.
Persson remarked, "Could we hold a Pride parade in our suburbs today? Would that be accepted?" This question illustrates the government's concern about the acceptance of LGBTQ+ rights in various communities, suggesting a possible clash between traditional Swedish values and those of some immigrant groups.
Persson commented on the government's initiative, stating, "As a matter of principle, the government is pursuing a policy where we want clarity on what the situation is, when it comes to values." He further noted, "In Sweden, men and women shake hands. That's a basic norm that we have in Swedish society. You're expected to live up to that standard," highlighting the importance of societal norms.
While discussing the survey's details, Persson mentioned, "It's not yet clear exactly how the government is planning to carry out the survey, or which authority would be responsible for it. However, he confirmed that the idea is to carry it out on a yearly basis, starting next year," indicating a systematic approach to monitoring integration.
