In next year’s state budget, the government plans to accept up to 200 quota refugees, according to what news understands. The government has already announced strong tightening of immigration policy. It is now clear that the reception of quota refugees will be further tightened. Under the Støre government, Norway accepted 3,000 quota refugees in 2022. The number was reduced to 2,000 in 2023 and 1,000 this year. Quota refugees are refugees Norway accepts from the UN quota refugee system. In the Støre government’s Hurdal platform from 2021, the system was described as “the safest and fairest arrangement to ensure the reception of people in need of protection”. The government has justified the cuts by the fact that Norway has high asylum immigration from Ukraine, which puts pressure on the reception apparatus. So far, 82,500 people from Ukraine have received collective protection in Norway.
