Center Party leader Anna-Karin Hatt calls in her autumn speech the Tidö parties' integration policy for "non-existent". The Sweden Democrats' view of human beings lies as a dark shadow over the entire government's so-called integration work, she says.

Anna-Karin Hatt directs harsh criticism at the Tidö parties for the high unemployment and an integration policy that, according to her, does not exist.

The great exclusion, it is to a large extent a direct consequence of a flawed view of humanity among parts of politics, she says.

”Throws out competence”

As an example, she gives the return grant and the wage floor for labor immigration.

Instead of taking responsibility and lowering the thresholds into the labor market, Ulf Kristersson, Ebba Busch, Simona Mohamsson and Jimmie Åkesson want to take your tax money and buy themselves free from responsibility. And throw out valuable competence in the process, she says.

She says that the Sweden Democrats' view of humanity "lies like a dark shadow over the entire government's so-called integration work".

It is quite clear that one makes a distinction between people and people. And it has concrete significance for the policy being pursued.

According to Hatt, the most important thing for integration is that people should get jobs. The Center Party is therefore presenting a number of proposals in the area.

Conditions for parental leave

It involves, among other things, reduced employer fees, and in a first stage, the party wants them to be abolished completely, for a year, for, among other things, long-term unemployed.

The party also wants to condition parental leave on learning Swedish. A person who has been granted asylum, or the person's relatives, who does not speak Swedish, must, after a year of parental leave, study Swedish two days a week to be able to continue being on leave. This will be checked through a test. During this time, the child should attend preschool to also learn Swedish, according to C.

It is good for both the children and the women, but also for integration in Sweden, says Anna-Karin Hatt.

C also wants to halve the number of parental benefit days for those who come to Sweden with a child who has turned one year old.
