END OF LIBERAL SWEDEN: Migrants must PROVE identity if they want protection, MP demands
Interior minister Anders Ygeman said the Scandinavian country has been far too lenient with migrants who have either arrived without legal documents or refused to show them to authorities.
Adding a policy change was required to ensure a fair legal process, he said: “If a person doesn’t have an identity document, I think you clearly have to place the burden with the individual to prove their identity.”
Mr Ygeman also argued identification of a person was of immense importance because it allowed authorities to assess whether or not the individual had the right to seek asylum in Sweden, and whether or not they had the right to protection.
At the time Prime Minister Stefan Löfven was urged by Moderate Party (MP) leader, Anna Kinberg Batra to force the EU to sanction bloc members who refuse to take responsibility for refugees as Sweden received over 160,000 asylum applications in 2015 alone. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/748180/Sweden-Migrants-prove-identity-Interior-minister-Anders-Ygeman
Since the migrant crisis began, Sweden has faced a surge in violence and chaos with more than 50 areas placed on a “no-go zone” list by police as it struggles to cope with the “unprecedented levels” of asylum-seekers.
