Reception of asylum seekers

The plan requires that asylum rights are protected and that those who seek asylum are guaranteed a fair legal process under dignified circumstances, and condemns a refugee policy that keeps people in insecurity. Completely eliminating the possibility of self-housing restricts asylum seekers' self-determination further and thus goes against the plan's line. The documents do not mention the housing form directly, which is why the assessment is derived.

• protect asylum rightsdecisive»Rätten att söka asyl kan aldrig tummas på, vi kräver att endast permanenta uppehållstillstånd ska utfärdas vid beviljad asyl.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The right to seek asylum can never be compromised, we demand that only permanent residence permits shall be issued when asylum is granted.”
• dignified and fair legal process»Här ska den som söker asyl garanteras« (party programme ↗)“Here those who seek asylum shall be guaranteed”
• security promotes integration»Det är inte genom tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd som integrationen förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is not through temporary residence permits that integration improves.”
• defend refugees' rights»När rasismen växer, länder sluter sig och EU bygger murar ska Sverige agera för flyktingars rättigheter och försvara asylrätten både i Sverige och internationellt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“When racism grows, countries close themselves off, and the EU builds walls, Sweden should act for refugees' rights and defend asylum rights both in Sweden and internationally.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan explicitly states that asylum seekers can no longer choose where they shall live, and that the tightened migration policy is firm. The counter-proposal's demand that independent housing is abolished entirely except in very limited exceptions is therefore the plan's own position. The plan also demands increased state control and even distribution of reception throughout the country.

• abolished independent housingdecisive»Asylsökande ska inte längre ha möjlighet att själva välja var de ska bo.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Asylum seekers shall no longer have the opportunity to choose where they shall live.”
• tight migration policy»Vi har stramat åt migrationspolitiken, och denna linje ligger fast.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We have tightened migration policy, and this line is firm.”
• state control of reception»Ordning och reda i flyktingmottagandet, genom ökad statlig kontroll, styrning och« (party programme ↗)“Order and discipline in refugee reception, through increased state control, management and”
• even distribution between municipalities»Jämn fördelning av nyanlända över landet genom att alla kommuner tar ansvar.« (party programme ↗)“Even distribution of newly arrived people across the country through all municipalities taking responsibility.”

The plan stands for a humane and legally secure migration policy where people fleeing are met with openness and where solidarity is universal. Completely dismantling the possibility of own accommodation restricts asylum seekers' freedom to arrange their housing and points out the group as a problem, which contradicts the plan's stance. The plan does not address the housing form directly, but the principles lead to rejection.

• humane migration policydecisive»Vi gröna står för en human och rättssäker migrationspolitik.« (party programme ↗)“We Greens stand for a humane and legally secure migration policy.”
• defence of the right to asylum»försvara asylrätten och kvotflyktingsystemet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“defend the right to asylum and the quota refugee system.”

The party programme states that the housing market should become more open and that where people live should be their own choice, not a compulsion, and that it is not borders but labour markets that should be opened. Completely abolishing the possibility of independent housing for asylum seekers runs counter to that principle of freedom. The plan simultaneously recognizes that municipalities need greater opportunity to handle the challenges.

• own choice of residencedecisive»ställe ska det vara för att de vill det, inte för att de måste.« (party programme ↗)“place should be for those who want it, not for those who have to.”
• openness rather than restrictions»Centerpartiet strävar efter öppna gränser, fri rörlighet samt en generös och human flykting- och invandringspolitik.« (party programme ↗)“The Centre Party strives for open borders, free movement and a generous and humane refugee and immigration policy.”
• more open housing market»Även bostadsmarknaden måste bli öppnare.« (party programme ↗)“The housing market must also become more open.”
• municipal responsibility for reception»Kommunerna måste få större möjligheter att ta ansvar för dessa utmaningar.« (party programme ↗)“Municipalities must have greater opportunity to take responsibility for these challenges.”

The plan's migration section assumes that asylum rights shall be protected and that the long-term liberal ambition is that each person can themselves decide where they seek shelter and live. The programme wants to direct newly arrived people's settlement through conditions and incentives towards municipalities with good labour markets, not by removing the possibility of self-determined housing. The counter-proposal's demand for complete dismantling therefore goes further than the plan supports.

• incentives before coerciondecisive»Det är angeläget att nyanlända har förutsättningar och drivkrafter att bo i kommuner med god arbetsmarknad.« (party programme ↗)“It is important that newly arrived people have conditions and incentives to live in municipalities with good labour markets.”
• self-determined settlement»där var och en själv kan bestämma var han eller hon ska söka skydd, bo och arbeta« (party programme ↗)“where each person can themselves decide where they shall seek shelter, live and work”
• protected asylum rights»Asylrätten ska värnas där den med asylskäl ska stanna och den utan skäl lämnar landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Asylum rights shall be protected where those with grounds to seek asylum stay and those without leave the country.”
• distributed municipal reception»Alla kommuner ska kunna ta emot nyanlända.« (party programme ↗)“All municipalities shall be able to receive newly arrived people.”

The election manifesto establishes that strict migration policy is required to address integration problems and exclusion, and the plan wants housing policy to counteract ethnic, social and economic segregation. Phasing out self-accommodation for asylum seekers except in exceptional cases is a means for both these commitments. The plan's principle that immigrants shall have the right to settle where they wish pulls in the opposite direction, but it does not concern the reception of the asylum process.

• strict migration policydecisive»Stram migrationspolitik krävs för att ta itu med integrationsproblem och utanförskap.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strict migration policy is required to address integration problems and exclusion.”
• counteract residential segregation»etnisk, social och ekonomisk segregation.« (party programme ↗)“ethnic, social and economic segregation.”
• integration through work and language»Jobb, kunskap i svenska språket och det civila samhället är viktiga nycklar till integration.« (party programme ↗)“Work, knowledge of the Swedish language and civil society are important keys to integration.”
• free settlement rights»Invandrare ska åtnjuta samma frihet som övriga medborgare och ha rätt att bosätta sig var de« (party programme ↗)“Immigrants shall enjoy the same freedom as other citizens and have the right to settle where they”

The plan demands a goal-oriented, strict and sustainable migration policy where asylum legislation is placed at the minimum level of EU law and volume is pushed down to Nordic levels. It explicitly warns against a growing shadow society with social disadvantage, illegal work and crime, which is precisely the kind of situation that uncontrolled self-arranged housing contributes to. Phasing out self-arranged housing completely, with only narrow exceptions, follows from the plan's demand for orderly processes.

• strict migration policydecisive»En målstyrd, stram och hållbar migrationspolitik är en förutsättning för att integrationen ska fungera.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“A goal-oriented, strict and sustainable migration policy is a prerequisite for integration to work.”
• prevent shadow society»Vi riskerar annars ett växande skuggsamhälle, med social utsatthet, illegalt arbete och brottslighet – där särskilt barn drabbas hårt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Otherwise we risk a growing shadow society, with social disadvantage, illegal work and crime - where especially children are hard hit.”
• asylum at EU's minimum level»Anpassa asyllagstiftningen efter den rättsliga miniminivån enligt EU-rätten« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Align asylum legislation with the minimum level of EU law”
• orderly processes»Vår öppenhet mot omvärlden ska alltid bygga på ordnade« (party programme ↗)“Our openness to the world shall always be based on orderly”

The plan's defining commitment is that the Aliens Act shall be tightened to the strictest possible level and that social attractors such as benefit systems shall be reviewed to limit non-citizens' rights to welfare. Discontinuing independent housing for asylum seekers except in very limited exceptional cases lies directly in that direction and also reduces migration's pressure on the housing market. The housing form is not named, so the conclusion is derived.

• strictest possible Aliens Actdecisive»Skärpa reglerna i utlänningslagen till striktas möjliga nivå enligt EU-rätten« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tighten the rules in the Aliens Act to the strictest possible level under EU law”
• reduced attractors»Sociala attraktionsfaktorer som exempelvis bidragssystem behöver ses över för att begränsa icke-medborgares rätt till välfärden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Social attractors such as benefit systems need to be reviewed to limit non-citizens' rights to welfare.”
• reduced pressure on housing market»Minska migrationens påfrestning på bostadsmarknaden genom återvandring« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Reduce migration's pressure on the housing market through return migration”
