City opposes tougher family reunification rules

The City of Stockholm is to respond to the Ministry of Justice's proposal to tighten maintenance requirements for family reunification. The City Executive Office advises against the new proposals, arguing they risk counteracting integration, causing more suffering for newcomers and their children, and increasing the need for social services. The Moderates and Sweden Democrats dissent, advocating for the city to approve the proposals to strengthen self-sufficiency and reduce exclusion.
