Sweden's Stance on Migrant Deportations and EU Trust
Sweden's migration minister, Johan Forssell, emphasized the importance of boosting migrant deportations and establishing return centers outside the European Union to maintain voters' trust.
"In order to preserve some kind of trust in the migration system, and, frankly speaking, trust in the European Union, we need to move forward here,"
Forssell stated that currently, only about 20 percent of people ordered to leave the EU are actually returned to their country of origin, highlighting the need for improvement. He urged the EU to take action, saying that Sweden and fellow EU nations must do "everything we can" to fix the system.
The minister's comments came during a meeting of EU home affairs ministers in Luxembourg, where he stressed the importance of addressing the issue to prevent losing European voters' trust.
