A controversial EU migrant camp in Malmö was due to be torn down at 4pm on Sunday but the eviction deadline passed without any sign of the police.

Despite the no-show from authorities, rumours circulated that the eviction would take place early on Monday morning.

However, Lars Förstell, information director for Skåne police, told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, “I don’t understand the word ‘postpone’. 4pm was simply the earliest we could clear the camp. It is the municipality’s business and we will assist them should they require us.”

The migrants have been living in tents, caravans, shacks and cars in an industrial area for months, sparking an intense debate in the city.

According to Radio Sweden (Sveriges Radio) around half of those in the camp, approximately 75 people, had left by 3pm.

But others refused to go and were joined in support by demonstrators outside the camp.
