Gävle protesters march against migration policies

Protesters marched through central Gävle on Saturday, moving from Södermalms torg to Stortorget to demonstrate against current migration policies. The event, organized by the campaign ‘För en human migrationspolitik’ and the association ‘Försvara demokratin’, featured speeches, music, and poetry.

Participants expressed concern over deportation decisions affecting local youths, specifically citing members of the IK Sätra volleyball club who have grown up in Sweden but face expulsion. Speakers addressed the erosion of legal certainty due to new regulations and argued that current immigration handling threatens democratic and human rights, as well as Sweden’s economic and demographic interests.
