All parties in the Riksdag (the Swedish parliament) support a proposal to introduce a law to stop the so-called teenage deportations. But passing such a law could take time, and how it will be designed remains unclear.
Swedish politicsThe red-green parties strongly criticize the government's late announcement on quota refugees, which means that 350 people will receive protection this year. At the same time, the parties disagree among themselves about how many refugees Sweden should accept.
Swedish politicsThe red-green parties Social Democrats (S), Left Party (V), Centre Party (C) and Green Party (MP) have agreed on a law to stop the deportation of teenagers. It is their first substantive political agreement since the election.
Swedish politicsThe red-green parties agree that more must be done to stop the so-called deportations of teenagers. But the talks have also exposed a divide over migration policy.
SwedenMP, V and C want to accept more quota refugees, and the entire opposition, including S, wants to relax the rules for family immigration. The Tidö parties warn of a return to a more generous refugee policy if the red-greens win the election.
Swedish politicsEven though the Tidö parties are now introducing a "valve" for the so-called teenage expulsions, the opposition fears that there will be loopholes in the new law. It is their way of improving their standing in opinion polls, not addressing the real problems, says Niels Paarup-Petersen (C).
SwedenA measure to address the so-called teenage deportations will be presented shortly. But young people who have already been forced to leave Sweden appear to be excluded.
SwedenAftonbladet writes that the Prime Minister's sister-in-law's foundation received several million during a meeting in which Ulf Kristersson (M) himself participated.
