After recent negotiations, M, KD, L and SD now present seven points in an updated version of the Tidö Agreement.
“We are now putting in yet another gear to ensure that everything we have agreed on is carried out before the 2026 election,” the four party leaders write on DN Debatt.
One of the proposals that is now being put forward is that the requirements for Swedish citizenship should be tightened. According to the Tidö parties, they want to see more measures to ensure that citizenship “is not given to people who threaten Swedish interests”.
Want to prevent issuance
Before the new requirements are in place, the parties also see “reason to act against citizenship being issued according to the current legislation”, as it is considered to constitute a vulnerability for Sweden’s security.
“To the extent that it is possible, measures must therefore be taken to prevent more Swedish citizenships being issued, until the new legislation comes into force,” write the party leaders.
It is not clear from the debate article which measures may be relevant. But according to sources of TV4 News can the government, via the so-called regulation letter, instruct the Migration Agency to carry out more thorough security checks, which means that cases take longer.
Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) cannot confirm what measures the government wants to take.
“We are looking at various possibilities to protect Swedish interests in the citizenship test. We will return to which alternatives may be relevant,” he writes to SVT Nyheter.
Crime and care queues
The Tidö parties have also agreed on, among other things, additional measures to combat organized crime. They also want to secure “a rapid and cost-effective” expansion of the correctional service.
Other points on the list include shortening care queues and measures for more energy until 2035 and faster electrification of the vehicle fleet.
Earlier this week, it also became known that the parties had agreed on which exceptions should apply to the debated duty of information, called by critics the “disclosure law”. The agreement is seen by the Sweden Democrats as a setback – at the same time, the party has claimed other successes in the negotiations.
