The government's own coordinator gives a new picture of home relations in Romania for beggars coming to Sweden. Many people have learned his story with humility and self-criticism.
The number of beggars is decreasing in the streets, squares and outside shopping centers. The word "technology strikes politics" probably plays in. Swedish society is now almost without money. Tickets are rarely used, never coins. Purchases are made with credit cards and small transfers, even at the cafe of the workplace with swish. No one has room to put the cup. Declining incomes also probably reduce the desire to beg on Swedish streets.

The beggars' play in Sweden did not lead to any minor exclusions.
For countries like Romania and Bulgaria, it is good news. The government coordinator for EU migrants, Claes-Ling Vannerus, has completed a comprehensive synthesis report on the situation of EU citizens in Sweden and has also visited Romania.
In an interview given to the TT news agency, it gives a completely different picture of romance in Romania compared to the traditional media image.
The weight of the people who have left the country has created a great shortage of manpower, even for simple jobs. Romania is currently recruiting workers in Vietnam, China, Nepal, Turkey and the Philippines. Claes-Ling Vannerus points out that little attention is paid to social protection networks for families, such as social security contributions, child support and unemployment benefits.
It is perhaps our Swedish image of Romania, based on the "old conditions" of a country considered as "non-functional", which controls our will to help and hunt the locals. Even racism and discrimination in the country are problematized by the national coordinator.
It is somewhat paradoxical that when the number of beggars decreases, the debate becomes more constructive. The big trial in Lund on human trafficking in Kalmar and Kronoberg County centers on a long-denied problem that beggars are exploited by unscrupulous bosses. Claes-Ling Vannerues discusses the situation in the countries of origin of EU migrants who had already had the trouble to find out. The first objections to this line became official in Sweden, with the unofficial support of the state or municipalities and often carried out by a society such as the Swedish Church.
A number of Christian aid organizations, with long experience in the region, spoke in a dull way when they pointed out that the on-site help is much more effective than the addition of symbolic coins in the hands of EU migrants. "I do not have money and gold, but what I have, I give it to you," said Peter to a New Testament beggar.
He helped the beggars, but did not continue to beg.
Their arguments ran up against the contemporary reference to human rights – which is not always a very clear concept. Legitimate thinking has destroyed both Swedish experiences and legislation. The jurors – along with former coordinator Martin Valfridsson -, claim that the allocation of municipal lands to migrants from the European Union contravened the principle of Equal treatment had not had a major impact in the general debate. In addition, the person sitting on the street is barely available on the job market, which means that stricter regulation would not affect free movement in the EU.
Few questions were characterized by a tone as high as that on beggars. It's natural in itself. No empathetic person can be moved to meet people, as seated stretches out the cold to get coins.
But the debate has rarely focused on how to help beggars to get out of permanent exclusion. As the coordinator Claes-Ling Vannerues shows, the more or less official attitude of Sweden has rather harmed the development of the Romanian people.
