They demand that S participate in stopping deportations
MP and V demand that S and L support their proposal to stop the deportation of teenagers in Parliament's social insurance committee.
Members of the Green Party (MP) and the Left Party (V) are urging the Social Democrats (S) and the Liberals (L) to vote in favor of their proposal to halt the deportation of teenagers, which is set to be discussed in the social insurance committee of the Swedish Parliament on Tuesday. According to Annika Hirvonen, MP's spokesperson for migration policy, this action is the quickest way to put an end to these deportations. Both S and L have previously expressed intentions to stop deportations affecting teenagers, and now it is time for them to demonstrate their commitments through concrete actions. The proposal put forth by MP and V aims to compel the government to present legislative recommendations that would expand the possibilities for family reunification for youths up to the age of 21, as well as to reinstitute humanitarian grounds for protection for particularly distressing circumstances. This move is seen as a necessary step to address the concerns raised about the treatment of young asylum seekers and their precarious situations, which have drawn considerable public and political attention in Sweden. The debate surrounding the deportation of youths has gained traction in recent years, with various political parties taking opposing stances on how to manage immigration and asylum policies effectively. The success of this proposal, if supported, could signal a shift in Sweden's approach towards more inclusive immigration laws and establishing safer environments for vulnerable young individuals who find themselves caught in the immigration system.
