'We trusted you, Sweden': Foreigners' pleas to MPs ahead of citizenship vote
""By not including transitional rules for the individuals still in Migration Agency limbo, you break our trust in the system," wrote Joseph Kane, a tech manager in Stockholm. "If I can't securely plan for my future here, why should I stay?""
""Many respondents complained about the time and effort they had already invested into making Sweden their home, and they feel that imposing new rules on them would be unjust.""
On April 29th, the Swedish parliament will vote on a bill to tighten citizenship rules, including extending residency requirements from five to eight years. Readers expressed concerns about trust in the system, urging MPs to support transitional rules for the 100,000 applicants already in the queue. The proposed changes include language tests and a self-sufficiency requirement. Many respondents support stricter laws but want existing applicants to be assessed under the current rules to avoid unfair rejections under the new regulations.
