All who come to Sweden to get a chance to get into the job and become part of the community. It is not only one of the core components of The policy. The centre party and I have fought hard for it that the policy should now be implemented, point for point, in the Januariavtalet. There are also things M and C used to run in the Alliance. Therefore, it becomes a bit strange when Ulf Kristersson, in his article, pretending that it is not in the Januariavtalet.
for many years the Centre party wanted to reform the integration in Sweden. We have taken the hard battles, not least with the LO, for making the way into the job easier for the new arrivals. Now it is one of The great victories of Januariavtalet that we get a whole range of reforms that will enable more immigrant gets a job: Not only to the actual receipt of refugees should be made to become more intense and results-oriented, among others, the Swedish language training for immigrants (SFI) will be based on the results.
in Addition, the lowered taxes on hiring, not least in order to employ the new arrivals (where the employer’s contribution is removed completely in two years). Although honour-related violence to be taken up in the agreement, with stricter penalties and hedersmotiv as its own legal classification of the offence and resources to the police and to the knowledge of these crimes and oppression.
Therefore, it is a bit strange that Ulf Kristersson in his op-ed trying to turn a blind eye to all these points and suggestions, most of the time also such as together we used to fight for the Alliance, which is now becoming a reality in the Januariavtalet and instead claim that the agreement ”devotes integrationskrisen only a scattered interest”.
Take the example of how Ulf Kristersson yourself in the Swedish Radio ” Ekot describes what is required for integration: ”stronger language teaching, to make it easier to enter the labour market, higher demands in school, the better organized and more resources for the police would be able to make the integration a success in Sweden”. I agree with the analysis – and the very good news is that this can be checked by the point-by-point, and with a timeframe for implementation, in Januariavtalet.
It is never, by linking all of the societal challenges to immigration as society becomes better, but by coming up with concrete solutions to concrete problems. I sincerely hope that you will come into the match on the liberal side, Ulf, and not get stuck in the criticism.
Even if Januariavtalet contains important, central integrationsreformer which are now to be implemented, it is sufficient, of course not. We must, for example, to work locally and in national policy on how we will turn utanförskapsområdena to more security, entrepreneurship, and strong schools. In many places in Sweden, such as Stockholm, runs C and M shared in a constructive, solution-oriented integration policy. Let’s keep the constructive tone also on the national level.
