The Sweden Democrats have welcomed a substantial decrease in citizenship approvals in Sweden, attributing this change to new security checks mandated by the government. In April, only six citizenship applications were approved compared to 3,234 in March, as the Migration Agency has faced delays in establishing necessary routines for in-person identifications. Party leaders advocate for these precautions to mitigate security risks, indicating that stricter rules could further reduce approvals, although some government officials maintain that applicants from stable backgrounds should not fear serious delays.
"The new stricter and more meticulous process for applications will result in fewer, but more accurate decisions. Because of the security environment we're in it's completely necessary."
"Measures should be taken to prevent more Swedish citizenships from being granted until new legislation comes into force."
"Ludvig Aspling stated that the freeze in awarded citizenships was 'far from mission accomplished but a step in the right direction' as security checks are anticipated to reduce approvals."
"Migration Minister Joakim Forssell assured that those from stable countries shouldn't worry about delays claiming applications will only be impacted for security reasons."
