In a motion submitted to the parliament on Monday, the party called for four different measures which will stop deportations, make it easier for those who have already been deported to return to Sweden, and make it easier for those applying for a study permit to afford their tuition.
"We don't know how long it is going to take to form a government, but the young people don't have any more time to wait," Annika Hirvonen, the Green Party's group leader in the parliament, told the Aftonbladet newspaper.
It remains uncertain which parties will even be in the eventual government, she conceded. "But a parliamentary majority has said that they want to stop this for real. That's why we are tabling this proposal now."
The motion is a so-called "independent" motion or fristående motion, which MPs can submit in the Swedish parliament every autumn between parliament's opening and the deadline for submitting the budget, which this year falls on November 27th.
The motion will need to be debated and amended in the parliament's Social Insurance Committee, on which the four former opposition parties now have a majority of MPs, before being submitted to the parliament.
Hirvonen told Aftonbladet that she had already received a commitment from the Centre Party and Left Party to support the motion and said it remained to be seen whether the Social Democrats would also support it.
In the motion, the party goes beyond calling for parliament to vote for the government to institute a permanent bar on the deportations of teenagers and young adults.
It also calls for the government to bring back the "particularly distressing circumstances" safety clause; to change the Aliens Act so that young adults who have already been deported can return to Sweden; and to change university funding rules so that young people who have grown up in Sweden have the same right to free higher education as Swedish citizens.
Sweden's Migration Minister Johan Forssell was critical of the motion, saying it went well beyond what was necessary to end teen deportations, and arguing that it seemed designed to put pressure on the Social Democrats.
"Since the Social Democrats voted to remove the provision allowing for 'particularly distressing circumstances', this should probably instead be seen as an intervention in their negotiations," he wrote in a text message.
He added that the Tidö government's solution to the deportation of teenagers – which will allow young people to receive permits as dependants of their parents up until the age of 21 – comes into force this Thursday, October 1st.
"The government's solution will therefore be in place long before the Green Party's motion can be considered by parliament," he said.
