Swedish EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson presented the new EU migration policy on Wednesday.
The proposal involves a control at the EU’s external border, a focus on return and a mandatory solidarity mechanism, which means that all countries must take responsibility for refugees, either by receiving them or assisting with the return.
– If measures are applied against secondary relocations, i.e. you register at the EU’s external border and then also get the return order in a better way than before, this will lead to an even lower number of asylum seekers to Sweden. says Migration Minister Morgan Johansson to Ekot.
Mixed reactions
The proposal receives mixed reactions from the Swedish parties. EU MP Alice Bah Kuhnke (MP) criticizes that it will be easier to turn people away at the border and that the proposal emphasizes return.
– It threatens the right of all people to have a legally safe asylum process, he tells SVT.
Hans Eklind, Member of Parliament and spokesman for migration policy (KD), welcomes the fact that migration policy must be based on voluntariness and says that “countries cannot be forced to accept people.”
Welcome screening
EU MP Charlie Weimers (SD) believes that mandatory inspection at the EU’s external border is good.
– It is necessary to gain control of the border and security for our citizens, he tells SVT.
Christina Höj Larsén, spokesperson for migration policy (V), describes the proposal as “sad” and does not believe that a voluntary reception of refugees works well.
