Today in Sweden: A roundup of the latest news on Wednesday
- Four Swedish opposition parties agreed to submit a joint reservation on transitional rules for the Stricter Rules for Citizenship bill, which will be voted on when the legislation reaches parliament at the end of April.
- The government's bill, scheduled for April 29th, mandates increased residency from five to eight years, language proficiency, and self-sufficiency requirements. The Council on Legislation criticized the bill's lack of transitional provisions.
- Transitional rules would exempt roughly 100,000 people who have already applied for Swedish citizenship and are waiting for Migration Agency decisions, even if their cases are decided after the law takes effect on June 6th.
- Immigration spokesperson Niels Paarup-Petersen told The Local the opposition parties are finalizing the joint text, aiming to present a united suggestion at the next committee meeting.
- If at least two MPs from government-supporting parties vote in favor when the bill reaches the full chamber, the joint reservation will become part of the law.
