"Transitional rules would mean that the over 100,000 people who will have already applied for citizenship and be waiting for a decision when the law comes into force on June 6th, will only have to meet pre-June 6th requirements when the Migration Agency decides on their case."
"This means they will, in most cases, only have to have lived in Sweden for five years (rather than eight, as the default, under the new rules), and will not have to show knowledge of Swedish language."
The Fair Transition campaign has effectively elevated the issue of transitional rules in Sweden's citizenship law. Initiated by affected residents, the campaign has gained media attention and prompted significant political engagement. All four opposition parties have submitted motions to the Swedish parliament advocating for the inclusion of transitional rules. These rules would allow over 100,000 applicants awaiting citizenship to meet pre-existing requirements rather than the stricter new ones. The government previously overlooked these recommendations, but the campaign's efforts have shifted the political landscape regarding this issue.
