Sweden\u2019s center-right government and the far-right Sweden Democrats party are looking into the feasibility of a nationwide ban on begging. \u201cThis is good and absolutely necessary,\u201d Linda Lindberg, leader of the Sweden Democrats, said during a Monday press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBegging had been rare in Sweden until the early 2010s when many EU citizens came from other countries to Sweden to beg,\u201d Lindberg claimed, adding the phenomenon had led to more systematic and elaborate crimes. \u201cIn our opinion, it is not reasonable for people to travel across half of Europe to beg outside our stores,\u201d she said, adding that begging bans have existed in Sweden before.<\/p>\n<p>The ban on begging was one of the original election promises of the Sweden Democrats party, which along with the country\u2019s three governing right-wing parties won a slim majority in the 2022 national election. The Sweden Democrats provides outside support to the government. An investigator has been appointed to explore how such a ban could be implemented legally \u2014 without running foul of international conventions and human rights \u2014 and to present their findings to the Swedish parliament at the end of June 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Some members of the opposition Liberal Party have said they will not vote in favor of the ban. Lindberg, however, is optimistic. \u201cI will not rule out that next summer we will have a basis that is so well-prepared and well-balanced that other parties may also consider supporting it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/sweden-democrats-far-right-government-ban-begging\/\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/swedish-government-considers-national-ban-on-begging\/\">Swedish government considers national ban on begging<\/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":[555,16296,848],"class_list":["post-134143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-national-ban-on-begging","tag-sweden"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134143","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=134143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134143\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
