A father and his two teenage sons in the Swedish city of Lidingö were left dumbfounded after the Swedish government allegedly ordered them to leave their home by August this year to make way for asylum seekers from the Middle East.
Infowars.com reported that the Swedish government through its local municipality issued the notice to the family over the phone.
"I was evicted from my home over the phone. When I asked for the reason, he said that people come from other countries. He left the news and basically just said have a nice weekend,'' said Uffe Rustan, a father of two teenage boys.
"It feels like I'm worthless, even though I pay taxes and my kids go to school here. You cannot put a family on the streets for another family. Just when it starts to feel like home, we are evicted,'' he added.
Rustan lives in a public housing with his two teenage sons, Rasmus, 15, and Linus, 17, both born in Lidingö. The lease works on a six-month basis and he had already renewed once, reports the Daily Caller.
Initially, the city government informed Rustan they didn't have any future plans for the building and that they might work out a permanent contract for him and his family. However the city reneged on its promise of a permanent housing contract.
The building has also undergone major renovations, but the city government has not compensated the family for the trouble caused them by the renovations, says the report.
Rustan said the news was "depressing" and wondered why ''native Swedes "were being treated worse than migrants arriving in the country for the first time."
Sweden is currently suffering from a housing shortage but is reportedly handing over property to economic migrants, with some politicians even encouraging citizens to give up their garages to migrants.
Evicting families from public housing to accommodate Muslim migrants has apparently started to become more common in some parts of Europe. In Germany, low income Germans are beginning to receive notices of eviction to make way for the migrants from foreign countries, according to reports.
Germany is spending 600 million euros per year for housing migrants in upmarket Berlin hotels at a cost of 18,000 euros per refugee. In contrast, the city's 10,000 homeless people are left to fend for themselves in the streets.
