Swedish Centre Party Promises Urgent Reprieve for British Nationals Facing Deportation Over Brexit Issues

The Swedish Centre Party has pledged to introduce emergency legislation to halt deportations of British nationals affected by Brexit-related administrative issues, citing cases like 78-year-old widow Joyce Thomas, who faces removal after 21 years in Sweden. Party migration spokesperson Niels Paarup-Petersen said the move would reopen residency applications if the party joins a projected centre-left coalition after the September 13 general election. He criticized Sweden’s hardline immigration approach as incompatible with EU-UK withdrawal agreement obligations and urged British and EU officials to intervene, noting growing controversy over the treatment of long-term British residents.
