We have advocated for an information obligation also in these activities, but it is a compromise we have made and we have staked out a path forward, continues Ludvig Aspling, migration policy spokesperson for The Moderate Party.
According to Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) the government and The Moderate Party are in agreement that schools, healthcare, social services, and libraries will be exempt from the notification requirement.
When asked what The Moderate Party got in return for dropping their demand, Aspling responds to the radio:
We don't make that kind of deal in public, but we can say as much as that we are satisfied with the outcome.
The Liberals: "Victory"
The Liberals have been opponents to, among others, teachers and doctors having to report students and patients. Party leader Johan Pehrson is pleased with the investigator's proposal to exempt broad professional groups.
"A victory for The Liberals and Sweden!", writes Pehrson on X.
"Those who do not have the right to be in Sweden should leave Sweden. But teachers should focus on being teachers – not the extended arm of migration policy", he continues.
Also, Lena Hallengren, group leader for The Social Democrats in the Riksdag, welcomes the exemption of schools, healthcare, and social services.
I note that The Moderate Party is not serious. Their policy does not stand up to reality. They have spent a couple of years scaring teachers, doctors, and social workers – fortunately, it now seems that the investigation will get support and the informant law will not become a reality, says Hallengren.
"The Moderate Party's biggest loss"
The Left Party would rather not have any information obligation at all, but is still pleased that broad groups are exempt.
"Informant systems do not belong in Sweden and the legislative proposal should be scrapped", writes V-leader Nooshi Dadgostar on X and continues:
"But today's message about the exemptions is still important: It is The Moderate Party's biggest loss ever and it happens thanks to ordinary people organizing themselves at their workplaces and saying no. Thanks!"
Also, The Center Party is pleased.
I am above all glad that the investigator has listened to all the country's doctors and teachers, says spokesperson Jonny Cato (C).
