Key Points
  • Jenny Brodén's integration project Mellanrummet was praised but ended with her buyout by Filipstad municipality.
  • An external report criticizes municipal leadership for not supporting the project, though the director disputes its conclusions.
  • Brodén alleges the municipal director made hostile remarks about financial assistance, which he denies while refusing a TV interview.

Jenny Brodén worked as a development strategist in Filipstad municipality since 2020. Her project, Mellanrummet, aimed to integrate quota or family immigrants into Swedish society and was praised by the Swedish Migration Agency. However, after a meeting with Filipstad politicians, Jenny Brodén was bought out by the municipality.

A new external report shows that the municipal leadership did not give the project management opportunities to succeed, though the specific actions or policies that hindered the project remain unclear. Municipal director Hannes Fellsman disagrees with the conclusions of the external report. " In response, municipal director Hannes Fellsman strongly denies saying that it should be so difficult to get financial assistance in Filipstad that people move away.

I have heard the municipal director say that it should be so difficult to get financial assistance that people move away from here.
