Sweden Democrats' Top Candidate Wants Migration Minister Post

Ludvig Aspling, the Sweden Democrats' (SD) migration policy spokesperson, has stated he would accept the role of minister for migration and integration if offered after the election. He emphasized the importance of his party securing this ministerial position.

“

It is important that someone from our party takes that post.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson of the Moderate Party has previously suggested that it would be natural for the SD to take responsibility for migration and integration issues following an election victory. Aspling, who has served on the Committee on Social Insurance during the current term and negotiated migration policies with other parties in the "Tidö agreement," expressed his readiness for the ministerial job.

"I would say yes, of course," Aspling told Svenska Dagbladet. "I have been watching how these rules have been handled in Sweden for quite some time. There are many things that could be improved, and I believe we could make quite a big difference."

“

I would say yes, of course.

He highlighted stricter rules for labor immigration, combating illegal labor, and promoting return migration as crucial issues for a new government. Aspling has been closely involved in migration policy discussions and negotiations, indicating a deep familiarity with the subject matter and a desire to implement significant changes.
