Moderates seek to bar domestic violence convicts from citizenship

The Moderate Party is campaigning on a proposal to make Swedish citizenship impossible for those convicted of domestic violence.

Migration Minister Johan Forssell said that for the party it is obvious that abusing one's partner means choosing not to remain in Sweden.
