He also wants to see the residence permits reassessed for those who have chosen to move from Syria to Sweden.
"New situations also require new assessments", Åkesson writes on X.
Migration Minister Johan Forssell (The Moderate Party) says that the government is closely following the development.
"It's too early to draw long-term conclusions from the development in Syria, but I naturally hope that there will now be stability and democratic development in the country", he writes in an email to TT.
Forssell also notes that it is the Migration Agency that determines when the right to protection ceases.
"According to EU law, it requires that the changes are significant and lasting", Forssell writes, adding:
"A fundamental principle in the entire Tidö work is that Sweden should have a restrictive migration policy where we, as a general rule, provide protection to individuals as long as they are in need of protection."
Last year, there were over 197,000 Syria-born individuals in Sweden. This makes Syria, according to Expressen, the by far most common country of birth among Swedish immigrants. 44,706 of them were Syrian citizens and lacked Swedish citizenship.
