The parliamentary Home Policy Committee okayed in second reading amendments to the act on aliens that introduce stricter conditions for residence of foreigners in Slovenia and the concept of a complex migration-related emergency.
On proposal of the coalition SMC, declaring a complex emergency will require an absolute majority in parliament and not just a simple majority as originally envisaged. A complex emergency means that implementation of the international protection act could be suspended under deteriorating migration-related conditions, and access to asylum could be restricted. The committee also endorsed changes to the international protection act which tighten rules in a bid to eliminate the chance of abuse, while ensuring asylum to those who really need it.
