Eighty paperless migrants reported since 'snitch law' enacted, opposition ready to vote against tougher sentences law, and more news from Sweden on Monday. The new "duty to inform" law, which came into force on July 13th, has already led to 80 migrants with no legal right of residency in Sweden to be reported, according to data from the Swedish border police obtained by the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper. The law – known colloquially as the angiverilagen or "snitch law" – was watered down in the face of public opposition so that those working for schools, health services, and social services are not required to inform border police if they encounter paperless migrants. The agencies covered are the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, the Swedish Enforcement Authority, the Swedish Public Employment Service, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, the Swedish Pensions Agency and the Swedish Tax Agency. According to the Svenska Dagbladet, most of the reports have been submitted by the Public Employment Service. The border police did not say if anyone had been deported after being reported. Sweden's four opposition parties have said they will vote against a stricter sentencing law set to go before parliament at its special summer session on August 13th, arguing that it is poorly framed and lacks clarity over when the new law will come into force. If all the opposition MPs are present, the government parties will need all of their MPs to vote in favour of the bill, including two former Sweden Democrat independents, and the Liberal Party MPs standing down, to pass it. This is because the parliament's pairing agreement to balance absent MPs collapsed at the end of April when the Sweden Democrats reneged on it to block an opposition move to add transitional rules to the stricter citizenship bill.
