EU leaders vow tighter borders, more repatriations after Brussels attack

BRUSSELS, Oct 18 (Reuters) - The leaders of Belgium and Sweden and the European Union's chief executive promised on Wednesday to tighten border security and step up repatriations after a failed asylum seeker from Tunisia shot dead two Swedish football fans in Brussels.

They spoke after paying tribute to the victims of Monday's attack in the Belgian capital, home to the EU institutions, and condemning what they branded a brutal terrorist attack.

Sweden will not expel man behind recent Koran burning demos despite deportation order

STOCKHOLM/COPENHAGEN, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Sweden's migration agency said on Thursday it had decided to deport an Iraqi man who burned copies of the Koran, the Muslim holy book, but that the order would not be carried out because the man would risk torture in his home country.

In August, Sweden raised its terrorism alert to the second-highest level and warned of an increase in threats against Swedes at home and abroad after Koran burnings outraged Muslims and triggered threats from jihadists.

Turkish parliament won't speed up Sweden's NATO bid -committee chair

ANKARA, Nov 1 (Reuters) - The Turkish parliament's foreign affairs committee will discuss ratifying Sweden's NATO membership bid as part of its regular agenda as the issue was not so urgent for Ankara as for some other countries, its chair said on Wednesday.

President Tayyip Erdogan submitted the ratification bill for Sweden's NATO membership bid to parliament last month, a move welcomed by Stockholm as it would clear the way for it to join the Western defence alliance.

Turkey tells NATO that Sweden won't join by next week's meeting - sources


By Jonathan Spicer and Sabine Siebold
November 23, 2023 9:50 AM GMT+1

ANKARA/BRUSSELS, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Turkey has informed NATO that ratification of Sweden's membership bid will not be completed in time to allow the country's accession ceremony at a meeting of alliance foreign ministers next week, two sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

Last week, the Turkish parliament's foreign affairs commission delayed a vote on Sweden's NATO membership bid in order to hold further talks on the subject.
(...)
President Tayyip Erdogan raised objections at the time to both requests over what he said was the Nordic nations' protection of those who Turkey deems terrorists, as well as their defence trade embargoes. Turkey endorsed Finland's bid in April, but has kept Sweden waiting.

Turkey has demanded that Sweden take more steps to rein in local members of the Kurdistan Workers' party (PKK), which is considered a terrorist group by the European Union and the United States.

Default Swedes: ultimate cucks, worse than 'murrcans

US Granted Access to Sweden's Military Bases by New Defense Pact

Quote:
The US and Sweden have signed a Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) that will grant US military access to bases across the Nordic country as Stockholm has abandoned its centuries-old policy of neutrality.

The Pentagon said the deal will allow "US forces to operate in Sweden, including the legal status of US military personnel, access to deployment areas (and) prepositioning of military materiel."

Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson inked the pact with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Tuesday and said, "it will create better conditions for Sweden to be able to receive support from the United States in the event of war or crisis." News flash moron, your country is already in crisis with thousand of African rape monkeys and Mohammed characters occupying it. War with Russia is not the problem. Sweden will last about 6 hours in a war with Russia.

Hungary's Viktor Orbán dodges opportunity to approve Sweden NATO membership


By Euronews with Associated Press
Published on 06/02/2024 - 08:05 • Updated 21:03

The governing Fidesz party, which holds an absolute majority in parliament, boycotted a session Monday and the chance to vote on the Nordic nation's application.

Lawmakers from the party of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán boycotted an emergency session of parliament on Monday where a vote was scheduled to place Sweden's bid to join NATO on the legislative agenda, adding to 18 months of delays that have angered Hungary's allies.

The governing Fidesz party, which holds an absolute majority in parliament, has stalled Sweden’s bid since July 2022, alleging that Swedish politicians have told “blatant lies” about the condition of Hungary’s democracy.

After Turkey's parliament voted to approve Sweden's accession in January, Hungary became the last of the military alliance's 31 members not to have done so, leading its allies to pressure the nationalist government to hold a vote without delay.

Orbán told NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg last month that he would urge his party to ratify the bid "at the first possible opportunity."

Monday's session in parliament was supported by six opposition parties, but Fidesz lawmakers didn't attend, scuttling the attempt to place a vote on the legislature's schedule.
