STOCKHOLM During Wednesday announced the Justice and migration Morgan Johansson that there will be some relaxation of immigration policy, compared with the line previously announced. The move faced harsh criticism from the Sweden Democrats. – We will do what we can to liberalization and the relaxation will not become a reality, says Mattias Karlsson (SD).
On Wednesday presented the Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson (S) new proposals that soften the lines of the immigration policy that the red-green government previously announced. Among other things, it will be easier for unaccompanied children to be reunited with his family in Sweden, although it should only apply to “certain special cases”.
Another point is that some temporary residence permit will be extended to 13 months so that people can be covered by social security benefits in Sweden. Furthermore, it is also suggested that you should use the refugee quota system to allow for family reunification in Sweden. It reports Aftonbladet also has spoken with Morgan Johansson.
– Many times it so that man go first to Europe and then the women and children left. In this way we could use the refugee quota system to bring in women and children in especially difficult circumstances, says immigration minister.
Johansson: “My assessment is that we have done enough,”
After the government now announced relaxations which will facilitate immigration to Sweden, compared with the proposals presented previously, have raised questions whether we can expect similar situations who were in the fall with a record of immigration to Sweden. But there is nothing that Johansson believes will happen, according to a feature of the Aftonbladet TV.
– My assessment is that we have done enough. Id controls, border controls did her to, to be able to handle the situation in the short term. And remember the criticism we received for ID checks, today the critics silenced by the majority hold to see that it actually works and that it was necessary. In terms of this new legislation, when we develop it we reduce the risk of falling into such a situation again.
At the same time, he wants to guard, where he does not promise anything for sure. But would immigration volumes to rise again, it is something that must be handled when, he says.
– You can never guarantee anything, of course, we would see that once again ends up in an untenable situation, then we will consider new measures. But there is nothing I speculate about today, said Johansson Aftonbladet.
Meets fierce criticism from the Sweden Democrats
To ease the tough new rules regarding immigration was not informed that fell on good ground of opposition party the Sweden Democrats. They arranged for a private press conference Paula Bieler and Mattias Karlsson criticized the government for the new opening lead.
– We will do what we can to liberalization and softening will not become a reality, explained Karlsson.
the Sweden Democrats also believe that the tougher line not only need to be even tougher, but also that it must be made permanent. The proposal that the red-green government has now softened something is supposed to be for three years, as Mattias Karlsson objecting to.
– The most serious we think is that the government only sees this as a temporary measure, a temporary law. This will need to be made permanent and you will have to go much further than what the government has done. It is also very serious and worrying signals emitted from the government.
– later today from Morgan Johansson, where he says that you should use this time, when you have this temporary law, to build reception systems. This means that the government is actually planning to go back to the emergency situation we had last fall in which to a very voluminous immigration policy. It is something that the Swedish society will fail with.
While the Conservatives criticize the new move by Morgan Johansson. They argue that it violates the agreement that the government has previously done with the Alliance. It reports Aftonbladet.
– It creates questions about trust in the government and how we should do with future collaborations, says Elisabeth Svantesson , deputy party leader of the Moderate Party.
