Yesterday, the Riksdag was scheduled to debate the government's bill proposing stricter rules for keeping foreigners under surveillance or detaining them during the migration process.
However, prior to the decision, the Center Party (C) and the Green Party (MP) had requested a one-year suspension of the part of the bill concerning children in detention.
Now, the Constitutional Court has concluded that the rules on a stay of proceedings can be applied to the bill.
We accept the KU Office's assessment that this meets the requirements of the constitution, says Malin Björk (C), a member of KU.
This means that the Riksdag can decide on a one-year suspension as early as tomorrow. All that is required is for one-sixth of the members to vote yes.
