"The joint counter-motion means that MPs will have a simple choice when voting on the new stricter citizenship rules on Wednesday evening. They will be able to vote on whether the new requirements should apply to existing applications and cases on appeal, or whether these cases should be handled under the old rules."
"The reservation calls for existing applications for citizenship by naturalisation, citizenship by notification, and ongoing appeals against rejected applications, to be handled under the laws in force before June 6th."
"Annika Hirvonen, the migration spokesperson for the Green Party, stated, 'I will do what I can to reach a majority and convince at least two people from the other side to support it.'"
Sweden's four opposition parties have introduced a joint counter-motion regarding a citizenship bill, advocating for transitional rules for existing applications and appeals. The proposed changes include extended residency requirements, language and civics tests, and a self-sufficiency criterion. The opposition aims to persuade government MPs to support their motion, which requires only two votes from the ruling party to pass. The joint reservation seeks to ensure that current applications are processed under the previous laws rather than the new regulations coming into effect on June 6th.
