Government divisions add to corona-ravaged SwedenrCOs woes
In coronavirus-battered Sweden, there's a new crisis rCo a crumbling government.
The two parties in the minority ruling coalition, the Social Democrats and the Greens, are clashing over whether Sweden should tighten its asylum laws, a divisive topic that has largely defined the last two general elections in the Nordic country.
[The Green Party, against tightening the laws, is threatening to take their marbles and go home]
such a development would cause unwelcome political turmoil in a country
already reeling from one of the fiercest outbreaks of the coronavirus in Europe, and the direction Sweden takes over asylum policy, whatever it turns out to be, is set to have significant implications for the political landscape in the country for years to come.
For Sweden, a shift to tighter asylum rules would end an experiment that began in 2011 to push through a policy of liberalization [...] SwedenrCOs capacity to house new arrivals became strained, and in 2016 the government was forced to move to a much more restrictive temporary position which saw the duration of residency permits and the rights of families to reunite in Sweden drastically cut.
rCLWe are still struggling with what happened in 2015 and we have a lot of people living in segregation, children not being able to make as much of their lives as they should be able to."
