The proposal for a new salary requirement would mean that those who come to Sweden to work should have an income above the median salary, which is currently 37,100 kronor.

The Centre Party is now submitting a committee initiative to the Social Insurance Committee to stop the proposal, where they hope to get The Liberals on their side. This after Minister for Employment Johan Britz (The Liberals) announced on Monday that he is critical of the government's proposal.

"Now, the Centre Party sees an opportunity to gather the liberal forces in the Riksdag to stop an entrepreneur-hostile policy", says the party's migration and labour market policy spokesperson Jonny Cato in a comment to TT, and continues:

"Thus, The Liberals will be forced to take a stand for or against.”
