The Centre Party's migration policy spokesperson Jonny Cato is positive about the investigation's conclusion and calls it wise. He says that repatriation risks pointing out an already vulnerable group, which would then exacerbate exclusion.

The money should instead go to efforts that increase integration, such as schools, jobs, and education, says Jonny Cato.

He points out that the right of asylum gives many the right to stay in Sweden.

The government needs to set up an investigation that looks at integration, right now their only solution is that they should leave the country, says Jonny Cato.

The Sweden Democrats' Ludvig Aspling, on the other hand, is critical. In an email to TT, he writes that the social goals presented by the investigation lack support in the directives.

"There is no evidence that integration would be negatively affected. The negative impact on home countries has no basis in research", he writes.

Aspling demands concrete proposals that the government can work with.

"Our assessment is that the basis will need to be supplemented with concrete proposals to significantly increase repatriation. It's a discussion we're already having at the government offices", writes Ludvig Aspling.
