Today, the message came that Ylva Johansson (S) was nominated for the post of EU Commissioner on migration and home affairs.

It is a portfolio that means that the outgoing Minister of Labor will, among other things, become responsible for Schengen issues and border controls.

Christian Democrats: "Incredibly difficult mission"

- It's just to congratulate Ylva Johansson on the heavy task, says Christian Democrats party leader Ebba Busch Thor to TT and continues:

- It is an incredibly difficult task, but you have to succeed in some part. It is crucial that the countries of the EU actually manage to find a common line for a common system that handles the great migration that is waiting for years to come.

Center Party: "Hope Ylva does this thing"

Abir Al-Sahlani (C) is responsible for the party's migration policy in the European Parliament. She also wants to congratulate Ylva Johansson.

- I think it is great that Sweden and Ylva get this particular portfolio at the same time as I understand that it is a very difficult portfolio. Migration is the EU's by far the most difficult issue in the future. My hope is that you manage not to get into a refugee crisis while protecting the right of asylum, ”Abir Al-Sahlan told SVT News and continues:

- I think that is the only way forward, that we have a joint distribution and that the member states take their responsibility. I really hope Ylva does this. And I think if anyone can do that, it's a Swedish commissioner.

For the first time an equal opportunity commission

It will be tough negotiations?

- It will be. At the same time, I think it's fun that women have received these heavy portfolios. This is something you should not forget to lift: for the first time, we have an equal committee with a female Commission President.

Abir Al-Sahlani previously sat in the labor market committee with Ylva Johansson.

- I have great respect for Ylva Johansson and I have got a very sympathetic impression from her. I hope for constructive talks going forward and that Sweden succeeds in making an impression in European politics.

Tomas Tobé's (M) claim on Ylva Johansson

Tomas Tobé, EU Member of Parliament for the Moderates, comments on the nomination of Ylva Johansson in a post on Facebook:

“It is good and important for Sweden that Ylva Johansson be given responsibility for migration and cross-border crime in the European Commission. It is an important item that once again shows that Sweden's influence in Europe is significant, ”he writes and continues:

“I look forward to working closely with Ylva Johansson, but I also expect delivery. Now it is time for the EU to go from word to action. Europe needs to organize immigration and cross-border crime ”.

"S facit does not impress"

At the same time, Tomas Tobé saw the government:

“The fact of the Social Democrats in Sweden when it comes to migration and criminal policy does not impress. In order for Ylva Johansson to be successful, she must release the barriers that characterize Swedish politics and be solution-oriented. Sweden is not an example in these areas. "

Tomas Tobé also demands Ylva Johansson. He wants, among other things, to see a common immigration policy for the EU, and to restrict the free movement of criminals.
