Strong support for sports etc.

The plan establishes that sport and outdoor recreation mean much for people's wellbeing and that participation should be open to all. The election manifesto wants to provide children and young people with municipally supported leisure activities and regrets that sport and culture have been impoverished when fees have risen. More measures and method development so that distance, disability or the family's finances do not exclude children follows directly from that.

• supported leisure activities for childrendecisive»Ge barn och ungdomar möjligheter till kommunalt stödda fritidsaktiviteter« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give children and young people opportunities for municipally supported leisure activities”
• open participation for all»välmående och sociala sammanhang. För att deltagandet ska vara« (party programme ↗)“wellbeing and social contexts. For participation to be”
• counteract impoverishment of sport»Även kulturen och idrotten har utarmats när skolbibliotek läggs ned, simskolan blivit dyrare och biografer finns på färre orter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Culture and sport have also been impoverished when school libraries are closed, swimming schools have become more expensive and cinemas exist in fewer places.”
• the importance of sport»Idrott och friluftsliv spelar stor roll för många människors glädje,« (party programme ↗)“Sport and outdoor recreation play a major role for many people's joy,”

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 election manifesto establishes that access to leisure activities at reasonable costs needs to increase and that the parents' wallet should not be decisive, with particular investments in resource-poor areas. The party programme requires equal access to sports and open-air life throughout the country and an active association life that particularly supports children and youth. More measures so that all children reach sports, culture and civil society are therefore the plan's own line.

• leisure regardless of family economydecisive»Tillgången till fritidsaktiviteter till rimliga kostnader, både vad gäller idrott och kultur, behöver öka. Föräldrarnas plånbok ska inte avgöra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Access to leisure activities at reasonable costs, both as regards sports and culture, needs to increase. The parents' wallet should not be decisive.”
• equal access to sports»Jämlik och jämställd tillgång till idrotts- och friluftsliv i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“Equal and equal-opportunities access to sports and open-air life throughout the country.”

The plan establishes that local sports and cultural associations are crucial for children and young people to have an active and meaningful leisure time, and that all children regardless of socioeconomic background or place of residence shall be able to pursue culture. It also requires that persons with disabilities have access to public space on equal terms. More efforts and method development to reach children regardless of distance, disability or family finances thus directly answer these commitments.

• association life for children and young peopledecisive»Lokala idrottsföreningar och lokala kulturföreningar är avgörande för att barn och unga ska kunna ha en aktiv och meningsfull fritid.« (party programme ↗)“Local sports associations and local cultural associations are crucial for children and young people to be able to have an active and meaningful leisure time.”

The election manifesto establishes that sport should be equal and inclusive and that the importance of sport, outdoor life and culture for public health is indisputable. More measures so that all children and young people have access to sport, culture and civil society regardless of economics, distance or disability is precisely that ambition. The plan also wants to make recreational activities accessible to all.

• equal and inclusive sportdecisive»Kulturen ska vara fri och oberoende, idrotten jämlik och inkluderande.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Culture should be free and independent, sport equal and inclusive.”

The party programme establishes that associational life is a supportive structure that gives stability to an otherwise unstable existence and that it shall be easy to get involved in a sports club or other part of civil society, while Sweden shall be an accessible country. The election manifesto wants the democratic civil society in disadvantaged areas to be supported more. The counter-proposal's demand for more initiatives so that all children get access to sports and culture regardless of economy, distance or disability follows from these commitments.

• associational life as a safety netdecisive»De stödjande strukturer som finns i förskola, skola, fritidshem och föreningsliv kan ge stadga åt en i övrigt instabil tillvaro.« (party programme ↗)“The supportive structures that exist in preschool, school, after-school centres and associational life can give stability to an otherwise unstable existence.”

The plan requires that sport and physical activity are promoted and supported by the municipalities, that public support is primarily directed to children and youth activities and that culture and leisure activities are accessible to persons with disabilities. The counter-proposal's requirement for more measures so that all children have access regardless of distance, disability or family economy is the same commitment. The election manifesto moreover sees civil society as a protection against exclusion.

• support for sportdecisive»Hälsa, motion och olika former av idrott ska främjas och stödjas av kommunerna.« (party programme ↗)“Health, physical activity and various forms of sport shall be promoted and supported by the municipalities.”
• support for children and youth»Det offentliga stödet ska i första hand inriktas mot barn- och« (party programme ↗)“Public support shall primarily be directed to children and”

• civil society against exclusion»Förebygg brott genom att stärka föreningslivet samt inrättande av mentorskapsprogram och nationellt avhopparprogram.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Prevent crime by strengthening civil society as well as establishment of mentorship programmes and national exit programme.”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to a special sports boost for disadvantaged areas as part of the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times, with the motivation that young people be reached before they fall into exclusion. The counter-proposal's demand for more efforts so that all children and young people get access to sport and organised civil society regardless of background and finances is in line with that. The plan therefore supports the demand.

• sports boost in disadvantaged areasdecisive»Genomföra ett särskilt idrottslyft för utsatta områden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Implement a special sports boost for disadvantaged areas”
• crime prevention reform package»Moderaterna vill därför genomföra det största brottsförebyggande reformpaketet i modern tid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Moderate Party therefore wants to implement the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times.”
• safe environments for children and youth»Satsa på trygga utemiljöer, där en viktig del är att lysa upp obelysta platser runtom i Sverige« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in safe outdoor environments, where an important part is lighting up unlit places throughout Sweden”

The election manifesto states that all shall be given access to sports regardless of gender, age or cultural background and that society to a greater extent should meet the need for facilities and promote civil society. The counter-proposal's demand for more initiatives so that all children and young people get access to sports, culture and civil society directly responds to this. The plan also sees sports as a cheap way to strengthen public health and cohesion.

• sports for all childrendecisive»Ge alla tillgång till idrott oavsett kön, ålder eller kulturell bakgrund« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give all access to sports regardless of gender, age or cultural background”
