Center Party wants to scrap Sweden’s wage floor for labour immigration

"The Center Party wants to remove the wage floor for labor immigration to Sweden. I promise that it will be one of the first decisions we make in a center-right government," party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist says at a press conference.

The wage level should instead be in line with collective agreements.

The Centre Party will also not allow a government to withdraw permanent residence permits.

People born abroad have always been a fundamental part of Swedish society, and people have come here to build their lives, says Thand Ringqvist.

Sweden must also become better at competing for the skills and entrepreneurs that the world is fighting for, says Niels Paarup-Petersen, the party's integration and migration policy spokesperson.

We want to introduce a special start-up visa for entrepreneurs from countries outside the EU who want to start innovative and scalable companies here in Sweden.
