Swedish Opposition Party Promises Immigration Law Reform

Sweden's Centre Party has promised to reform migration laws if it wins power.

The change aims to help foreign residents facing deportation over small technical mistakes.

This plan is vital for foreign workers and residents living across Sweden.

Niels Paarup-Petersen announced the policy proposal ahead of Sweden's general election.

He is the migration spokesperson for the Centre Party.

The party plans to reopen application processes for affected long-term residents.

Many people face removal orders despite living in Sweden for decades.

Cases include a 78-year-old British widow named Joyce Thomas.

She was ordered to leave after living 21 years in Sweden.

Other cases involve a 34-year-old deported man and a 95-year-old Iraqi woman.

Paarup-Petersen called for more humanity in the Swedish migration system.

The current Swedish government has taken a strict stance on migration.

Opposition politicians say this approach harms international relations and human lives.

Sweden goes to the polls next Sunday for its general election.

Polls show the centre-left block leading the current ruling coalition.

If the government changes, migration enforcement rules may soon soften.
