Belgium and Sweden were left reeling this week after a Tunisian, who was staying illegally in Belgium after his asylum claim was refused, gunned down two Swedish football fans and injured a third on Monday in central Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>The man was identified in media reports as 45-year-old Tunisian migrant Abdessalem Lassoued. Belgian police shot him dead on Tuesday. Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and Swedish premier Ulf Kristersson paid tribute to the two Swedes by placing wreaths and a Swedish football scarf and shirt at the site where they were killed. Kristersson thanked De Croo for his support, while the Belgian premier vowed Sweden \u201ccan always count on us\u201d during a press conference in front of the building where the attack happened.<\/p>\n<p>The two leaders also urged coordinated migrant return policies in the European Union, as the bloc is currently working on an overhaul of Europe\u2019s migration rules. The attack brought greater urgency to the issue after it came to light that the gunman had applied for asylum in Belgium in 2019, but had been refused in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities tried to track him down to issue him with a demand to leave but he could not be located. \u201cThe European migration pact should stand for better border controls, but also for a coordinated European return policy,\u201d De Croo said. \u201cWe need to be able to protect our borders. We need to know who is in Sweden. Are they here legally or illegally? If they are not here in a legal way, they are obliged to leave the country. We need to protect our European borders,\u201d Kristersson said. The two men were joined by EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, who said Brussels wanted to bring in tougher rules on returns.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the rules say it is up to member states whether they want to force someone back to their country, but Brussels wants to make it mandatory for all countries to return people staying illegally. \u201cWe must urgently change this,\u201d von der Leyen said. The EU\u2019s 27 member states made \u201capproximately 400,000 decisions per year on returns in the European Union and so far this year we have returned approximately 65,000,\u201d home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson, a Swede, said later Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/belgium-sweden-want-tougher-powers-to-expel-irregular-migrants\/article\">DJ<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/118491\/\">Belgium, Sweden want tougher powers to expel irregular migrants<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[598,555,1330,11900],"class_list":["post-117810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-belgium","tag-csr-news-en","tag-migrant","tag-sweden-irregular"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117810\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
