""If we don't do something about the shadow society, it will take hold and be cemented," Migration Minister Johan Forssell stated, emphasizing the urgency of the new bill."
"The proposal, referred to as angiverilagen or 'the snitch law,' has sparked significant controversy within the Tido agreement among governing parties."
"Forssell indicated that if compliance with the new rules is inadequate, further measures might be considered, although he expressed confidence in the current approach."
"Under the new law, police will only need a 'reason' to suspect a foreigner lacks the right to be in Sweden, simplifying the process for permit checks."
The government is advancing a proposal mandating certain state employees to report foreigners without valid permits. Migration Minister Johan Forssell emphasized the need to address the shadow society. The bill, supported by the Moderates, Liberals, Christian Democrats, and Sweden Democrats, will facilitate information sharing among various public authorities. Critics label it the 'snitch law.' The Sweden Democrats initially sought broader reporting obligations, which faced opposition. Police will gain enhanced powers to check permits and conduct searches without needing a 'reasonable reason.'
