– We announce today that unaccompanied minors who have lived in compliance with the law, passed their studies and are close to the labor market but have not received the job that allows them to obtain a permanent residence permit according to the High School Law, must be Tested against the humanitarian protection base and given the opportunity. to stay, Center leader Annie Lööf tells TT.
In a debate article in Svenska Dagbladet, Lööf and immigration policy spokesman Jonny Cato write about the government’s proposal to broaden the humanitarian protection base. It is slated to form part of the Aliens Law, which will take effect this summer.
A humanitarian protection base must give foreigners without grounds for asylum the opportunity to stay in Sweden in particularly painful cases, such as a serious illness.
Wider ground
In the government’s proposal, which was sent for consultation last Friday, the protection base is expanded against the proposal presented by the Migration Commission this summer.
It offers greater opportunities to stay if asylum grounds have ceased for those who have resided in Sweden for a long time on temporary residence permits and have gained a special connection to the country.
“With the help of the adult humanitarian base, the Center Party sees an opportunity to create long-term conditions for those who have resided legally in Sweden for a long time without committing a crime and have a strong presence in society.”
Plan your life
C also sees an opportunity for unaccompanied minors who have been allowed to stay in Sweden to complete upper secondary education. The party believes that this group should have a chance to be tested against the new expanded humanitarian base when it takes effect this summer.
“Then they could get an extended temporary residence permit and more long-term conditions and the opportunity to plan their lives,” he says in the debate article.
C wants the expanded humanitarian basis to be formulated so that even unaccompanied minors who have received a residence permit due to the Upper Secondary Education Act can be covered if they have completed their studies, lived in accordance with the law and have a strong presence in Sweden, but who do not meet the requirements for a permanent residence permit according to the Higher Secondary Education Act.
The new law on upper secondary education for unaccompanied minors came into force in 2018 and gave some 7,600 unaccompanied youth, who had their asylum application rejected, a new opportunity to obtain a residence permit so that they could complete their secondary education. higher.
In order to obtain a permanent residence permit after completing studies, certain requirements are imposed on work and support. To date, 72 people have obtained permanent residence permits due to self-sufficiency.
Extended temporary permits have been granted to 5,926 people for further studies. 706 people have had their extension request rejected.
The government has also announced a relief in the Upper Secondary School for Unaccompanied Minors Act. But those reliefs are rejected by C.
