The possibility of revoking Swedish citizenship is linked to constitutional protection for abortion\u2014without separate votes on the various issues.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Riksdag is voting today on a package of constitutional amendments covering abortion rights, citizenship, and freedom of association. The debate begins at 9:00 a.m., and the vote is expected at 4:00 p.m. The proposal was tabled in May and must now be approved or rejected in its entirety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The constitutional amendment is intended to make it possible to revoke Swedish citizenship from individuals with dual citizenship who obtained it through misleading information or who have committed crimes that seriously harm Sweden\u2019s vital interests. Subsequent legislation will be required to actually implement these revocations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Abortion opponents are protesting<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, it is proposed that the right to abortion be granted constitutional protection, even though all parties in the Riksdag support the current abortion law. Critics warn that the change will make future legislative amendments more difficult. Nearly 12,000 people are reported to have signed a petition protesting the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The parties are forced to accept the entire package<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal also includes restrictions on the freedom of association for certain criminal organizations. Members of Parliament therefore cannot support stricter citizenship rules without simultaneously endorsing constitutional protection for abortion. The same applies in reverse.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the Riksdag will decide on both the revocation of citizenship and constitutional protection for abortion.
