Scrapping the Welsh government's Nation of Sanctuary policy would have "disastrous" consequences for social cohesion in Wales, the head of a Welsh refugee charity has warned.
The scheme aims to help refugees and asylum seekers placed in Wales by the UK government to integrate and access public services.
However, ahead of May's Senedd election, the Welsh Conservatives and Reform UK have pledged to scrap it, citing concerns over the cost and message it sends.
Between 2019-2025 the Welsh government spent 0.05% of its total budget on Nation of Sanctuary. All the other major parties have reiterated their support for the policy.
What is the Nation of Sanctuary policy?
The Nation of Sanctuary plan has become the focus of political debate, and some of our readers have asked us to take a closer look at it.
Gary Nickson, a retired procurement manager in Padeswood in north Wales, was among those who contacted the BBC's Your Voice project to raise concerns about the policy.
"I can't remember ever seeing a survey or having the opportunity to vote on it," he said, adding that he felt major decisions were being taken "on our behalf" at a time when, in his view, Wales was already struggling with its own domestic challenges.
The Welsh government carried out a three-month consultation in 2018 which found "substantial support" for its proposals.

So the cushy NGO CEO gig would disappear, is why the consequences would be disasterous?
Wow.
“BBC: Should Wales be a Nation of Sanctuary for refugees and asylum seekers?”
Why not, what could go wrong? Well, at least the women in Wales will start reproducing again, even if it’s often non-consensual.
Wales is not very wealthy. The poorest of the UK nations. What jobs will these bizarre immigrants and refugees be doing? How will they earn their keep?
What women, girls & young boys would they destroy? What else will their violence and savagery accomplish?
NO
The sheep will get awfully nervous....
Why?
England already is.
As usual.

Not from the populace. But the leadership is all in favor of it to destroy their country.
No. Seems the rest of my heritage has been overrun, might try to keep Wales safe with Norway (Sweden, England, Scotland lost).
“Scrapping the Welsh government’s Nation of Sanctuary policy would have “disastrous” consequences for social cohesion in Wales”
Which means exactly that the muslims will riot.
So import more muslims.
What could possibly go wrong?
Yes. No one is ever asked or votes for it.
It happens the same all over.
It’s not a coincidence.
I was engaged to a Welsh girl at one time, French born but adopted by a Welsh couple, I sure didn’t think Wales would become this.
As part Welsh, will those immigrants going to mine coal? 😀
Somali woman: Save my life!

Somali woman: I’m your master!
The refugee system is being scammed.
Refugees and asylum seekers and their children should never be able to become citizens of or have voting rights in their host country.
Children should have the citizenship of their mother upon birth and of their father if the father performs the duty of one for a number of years.
The law of refugees came about in the early 1930s.
