The Swedish Parliament has approved a constitutional amendment allowing the revocation of citizenship from individuals with dual nationality if it was obtained fraudulently or in cases of conviction for crimes that seriously harm national interests. Adopted by a vote of 292 to 51, the reform will take effect on January 1, 2027. The next government will, however, need to specify the offenses covered in future legislation. This measure has drawn criticism from human rights organizations, which denounce the unequal treatment of Swedish citizens.
