After the violent riot of the Easter weekend, SD presents a 30-point program with proposals for measures.
Several of the proposals have previously been seen in the debate, but a number are new, including the proposal that the residence permit can be revoked for an entire family if a family member commits a sufficiently serious crime.
"Unacceptable"
The proposal violates the rule of law, says Robert Hannah, integration policy spokesman for the Liberals.
- It is totally unacceptable to us;
we will not be able to agree to that.
We do not believe in collective punishment.
In a state governed by the rule of law, you are punished for what you have done, not what someone else has done, he says.
The Sweden Democrats' party leader Jimmie Åkesson states that the measure is exceptional, but that there is a need to investigate the possibilities of introducing one.
- Parents must take greater responsibility for what their children do, he says.
"Terrible"
The Center Party's migration policy spokesperson Jonny Cato agrees with the criticism of the proposal.
- In Sweden, it should of course be possible to expel serious criminals, but you are punished individually for the crimes you commit, it is an individual punishment you get.
That children should be able to be deported because their big brother commits a crime is awful in my world.
SD also suggests that what the party calls "antisociality" should be a basis for deportation.
In practice, this means that a person must be able to be deported if he or she operates in a criminal environment or through an "antisocial lifestyle" exhibits "shortcomings in his obligations to Swedish society or constitutes a special risk or burden for Sweden."
- Regardless of what personality or characteristics you have, you have the right to stay in the country if you have received a residence permit, says Jonny Cato.
- These proposals do not strengthen the Swedish rule of law, but tear it down, says Robert Hannah.
The Moderates and the Left Party have declined to comment.
