"The speaker of Sweden's parliament, Andreas Norlen, has called the group leaders of all parties to an extraordinary meeting this coming Wednesday, after the government-supporting parties won a vote blocking transitional arrangements for the new citizenship law by reneging on the parliament's longstanding pairing rules."
"Annika Hirvonen, group secretary of the Green Party, told The Local that this amounted to cheating, and that the only possible course of action was for the government to put the question of transitional rules before parliament for another vote."
"Niels Paarup-Petersen, the immigration spokesperson for the Centre Party, said that as parliament has already passed the bill without transitional rules, it can't, formally speaking, be put to a second vote."
""You cannot have a 'revote'. That isn't how it works. But the government could draw up special legislation on transitional rules and put this before the parliament within a month or so, and then everyone can vote on that.""
Three out of four opposition parties are calling for a parliamentary revote on transitional arrangements for new citizenship rules. The speaker of parliament has scheduled an extraordinary meeting following a vote that blocked these arrangements. The Sweden Democrats allegedly violated pairing rules to secure their vote. Annika Hirvonen from the Green Party criticized this as cheating. Niels Paarup-Petersen from the Centre Party stated that a formal revote isn't possible but suggested the government could propose special legislation for transitional rules within a month.
