Aid for Undocumented Residents: City Divided on Support

Maurice Forslund (KD) proposes that the City of Stockholm cease providing financial assistance to individuals without residence permits, arguing it contributes to a "shadow society." The City Executive Office, the Social Welfare Committee, and several district committees oppose this, stating the municipality has an ultimate responsibility to assist everyone in the municipality during acute emergencies, especially children, and that the change is inconsistent with current law and legal precedent.
