National function in personal data breaches
A national crisis function for leaks of protected personal data
What's at stake: The decision concerns people living with protected identities, for example women and children who have fled violence, witnesses, and people threatened by honour-related violence. Without a central function that warns and acts quickly after major data breaches, these people risk having to discover and handle leaks of their own information themselves, which in the worst case can endanger their safety.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether parliament should call on the government to establish a dedicated national function to immediately check and manage cases where people with protected identities are affected by personal data leaks, or whether this should be considered sufficiently addressed by the government's ongoing work on the secure handling of such data.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee rejects the motion on a national crisis function. The reason is that the government is already carrying out extensive work to ensure that authorities handle protected personal data securely, and against that background the committee does not see grounds for a further statement on the matter.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 14 (C)
The reservation (C) calls for the government to set up an inquiry to establish a national crisis function that, following major personal data leaks, can immediately check whether people with protected identities have been affected, coordinate action with relevant authorities, inform those affected, and offer protection where needed, including temporary relocation. The reasoning is that after several major data breaches there are no clear procedures or a central body able to quickly warn and protect the most vulnerable, who currently are expected to contact, for example, a sports club or an authority themselves.
Summarised from the committee report. Party labels in the summary come from the report, not from the vote.
What do the votes mean here?
Yes The committee proposal: rejecting the motions (keeping things as they are).
No Backing the counter-proposal: reservation 14 by C.
Abstain The party marks a position of its own that is not one of the two final alternatives.
What each plan points to — and how the party voted
For each party: the vote its own election manifesto and party programme point to in this case, next to how the party actually voted. A plan can only point to Yes or No; a party can also abstain.

Committee proposal
Parliament rejects motion 2025/26:2059 by Anders Ådahl (C).
Original (Swedish)
Riksdagen avslår motion 2025/26:2059 av Anders Ådahl (C).
Riksdag decision: Parliament rejected approximately 120 proposals in motions concerning violent crime and crime victims. The motions were submitted during the general motion period 2025 and address, for example, strengthened protection for crime victims, as well as contact bans and protected personal data. Parliament primarily refers to the fact that work is already underway on the issues that the proposals address.
Counter-proposals
- The counter-proposal wants to establish an investigation to examine options for stopping digital services that target the Swedish market and facilitate prostitution. (C) — Reservation 14
Plan vs actual vote
Every party, in chamber order: what its own plan pointed to, how it voted, and the reasoning behind both. Highlighted rows are where the two differ — but a vote that follows the plan is a result too, so the reasoning is there for every party.
The plan states that all people have a right to protection of their personal integrity and that society must be able to act collectively and effectively to prevent crime and provide support to those who have been victimized.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan states that all people have a right to protection of their personal integrity and that society must be able to act collectively and effectively to prevent crime and provide support to those who have been victimized. The election manifesto makes it a right to receive help with a safe housing solution for those leaving domestic violence. A national crisis function that quickly alerts, coordinates and where necessary relocates people with protected identity is an application of these commitments.
Original (Swedish)
Planen slår fast att alla människor har rätt till skydd av sin personliga integritet och att samhället ska kunna agera samlat och effektivt för att förhindra brott och ge den som utsatts stöd. Valplattformen gör det till en rättighet att få hjälp med en trygg boendelösning för den som lämnar våldsutsatthet. En nationell krisfunktion som snabbt varnar, samordnar och vid behov omplacerar personer med skyddad identitet är en tillämpning av dessa åtaganden.
- protection of personal integritydecisive»har rätt till skydd av sin personliga integritet.« (party programme ↗)“has a right to protection of their personal integrity.”
- society's duty to protect»Ingen människa ska behöva utsättas för brott.« (party programme ↗)“No person should have to be subjected to crime.”
- right to protection for domestic violence victims»Vänsterpartiet anser att det därutöver måste vara en rättighet att få hjälp med en långsiktig trygg boendelösning för den som behöver det för att lämna våldsutsatthet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party considers it must also be a right to receive help with a long-term safe housing solution for those who need it to leave domestic violence.”
- resources for protective actors»socialtjänst och andra aktörer är viktiga i det arbetet.« (party programme ↗)“social services and other actors are important in that work.”
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 requires protection of personal integrity and that the ability to withstand cyber attacks be strengthened, while society shall protect those who are especially vulnerable, not least women and children subjected to violence.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan requires protection of personal integrity and that the ability to withstand cyber attacks be strengthened, while society shall protect those who are especially vulnerable, not least women and children subjected to violence. A national crisis function that quickly warns and protects people with protected identity when major breaches occur fulfils that commitment. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's requirement.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver skydd för den personliga integriteten och att förmågan att stå emot cyberattacker stärks, samtidigt som samhället ska skydda dem som är särskilt utsatta, inte minst våldsutsatta kvinnor och barn. En nationell krisfunktion som vid stora läckor snabbt varnar och skyddar personer med skyddad identitet fullföljer det åtagandet. Planen stöder därför motförslagets krav.
- protection of personal integritydecisive»Skydd för den personliga integriteten.« (party programme ↗)“Protection of personal integrity.”
- resistance to cyber attacks»Arbetet för att stärka förmågan att stå emot cyberattacker och desinformation ska stärkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The work to strengthen the ability to withstand cyber attacks and disinformation shall be strengthened.”
- support for those subjected to violence»Kraftfullt bekämpande av mäns våld mot kvinnor, våld i nära relationer samt stöd till« (party programme ↗)“Vigorous combating of men's violence against women, violence in close relationships and support for”
- preparedness against attacks»Beredskap mot hybridattacker.« (party programme ↗)“Preparedness against hybrid attacks.”

The plan requires that those who must flee from a violent intimate partner immediately receive coordinated support from society and that protection for victims of violence forced to hide is strengthened.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan requires that those who must flee from a violent intimate partner immediately receive coordinated support from society and that protection for victims of violence forced to hide is strengthened. A national crisis function that, in the event of major data breaches, immediately identifies, warns and protects people with protected identities is exactly such coordination. The plan also establishes the state's responsibility to protect people's personal integrity.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver att den som måste fly från en våldsam närstående omgående får samordnat stöd från samhället och att skyddet för våldsutsatta som tvingas gömma sig stärks. En nationell krisfunktion som vid stora personuppgiftsläckor omedelbart identifierar, varnar och skyddar personer med skyddad identitet är just en sådan samordning. Planen slår också fast statens ansvar för att skydda människors personliga integritet.
- immediate coordinated protectiondecisive»Den som måste fly från en våldsam närstående ska omgående få samordnat stöd från samhället.« (party programme ↗)“Those who must flee from a violent intimate partner shall immediately receive coordinated support from society.”
- stronger protection for those hiding»att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig ska få starkare skydd och att fler som utövar våld ska få fotboja.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that female victims of violence forced to hide shall receive stronger protection and that more perpetrators of violence shall receive electronic monitoring.”
- state's integrity responsibility»Staten har ansvar både för att skydda människor från brott och för att respektera människors personliga integritet.« (party programme ↗)“The state has responsibility both to protect people from crime and to respect people's personal integrity.”
- coordinated responsibility for victims of violence»skapa en dörr ut för våldsutsatta i hela landet, så att ansvaret för skydd, boende och vård samordnas direkt efter uppbrottet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“create an exit door for victims of violence throughout the country, so that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after the break-up.”
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 explicitly promises to strengthen protection for families with protected identity and to make it easier for women with protected identity to protect their children.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto explicitly promises to strengthen protection for families with protected identity and to make it easier for women with protected identity to protect their children. A national function that immediately checks whether protected persons have been affected by major breaches and can offer protection is a direct application of that commitment. Strong privacy protection and a strengthened victim perspective point in the same direction.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet lovar uttryckligen att stärka skyddet för familjer med skyddad identitet och att göra det enklare för kvinnor med skyddad identitet att skydda sina barn. En nationell funktion som vid stora läckor omedelbart kontrollerar om skyddade personer drabbats och kan erbjuda skydd är en direkt tillämpning av det åtagandet. Ett starkt integritetsskydd och ett stärkt brottsofferperspektiv pekar åt samma håll.

- strengthened protection for threatened persons»Kvinnor med skyddad identitet ska enklare kunna byta efternamn på sina barn.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women with protected identity shall more easily be able to change their children's surname.”
- strong privacy protection»Ett starkt integritetsskydd är därför en omistlig del av ett öppet och demokratiskt samhälle.« (party programme ↗)“Strong privacy protection is therefore an indispensable part of an open and democratic society.”
- strengthened victim perspective»Brottsofferperspektivet måste stärkas. Den som utsatts för brott ska få upprättelse och bättre stöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The victim perspective must be strengthened. Those who have been victims of crime shall receive redress and better support.”
The party programme requires that protection of individual privacy is strengthened and that threatened persons receive effective protection, and the election manifesto wants to criminalize harassment of public employees.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The party programme requires that protection of individual privacy is strengthened and that threatened persons receive effective protection, and the election manifesto wants to criminalize harassment of public employees. A national function that immediately identifies and protects persons with protected identity upon major personal data breaches is an application of that commitment. The plan also wants laws with strong impact on privacy to be continuously monitored.
Original (Swedish)
Partiprogrammet kräver att skyddet för den enskildes integritet stärks och att hotade personer får ett effektivt skydd, och valmanifestet vill kriminalisera förföljelse av offentliganställda. En nationell funktion som vid stora personuppgiftsläckor omedelbart identifierar och skyddar personer med skyddad identitet är en tillämpning av det åtagandet. Planen vill också att lagar med stark påverkan på integriteten följs upp löpande.

- continuous privacy monitoring»Redan införda lagar med stark påverkan på den personliga integriteten ska regelbundet utvärderas.« (party programme ↗)“Already introduced laws with strong impact on personal privacy shall be regularly evaluated.”

The plan requires strong constitutional protection for personal integrity and that the public sector exercises great care when handling personal data.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan requires strong constitutional protection for personal integrity and that the public sector exercises great care when handling personal data. A crisis function that immediately checks whether people with protected identity are affected by major leaks and can offer protection is a direct application of this, and the plan requires adequate protection for those who have been subjected to intimate partner violence. The specific function is not mentioned in the documents.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver ett starkt grundlagsskydd för den personliga integriteten och att det offentliga tillämpar stor försiktighet vid hantering av personuppgifter. En krisfunktion som vid stora läckor omedelbart kontrollerar om personer med skyddad identitet drabbats och kan erbjuda skydd är en direkt tillämpning av det, och planen kräver adekvat skydd för dem som utsatts för våld i nära relation. Den konkreta funktionen nämns inte i dokumenten.
- strong integrity in the constitutiondecisive»Den personliga integriteten ska ha ett starkt grundlagsskydd« (party programme ↗)“Personal integrity must have strong constitutional protection”
- careful handling of personal data»stor försiktighet och respekt för den personliga integriteten« (party programme ↗)“great care and respect for personal integrity”
- protection for those subjected to violence»Kvinnor, män och barn som utsatts för våld i en nära relation ska ges adekvat stöd och skydd.« (party programme ↗)“Women, men and children subjected to intimate partner violence must be given adequate support and protection.”

The plan commits to an action plan with concrete measures against hybrid threats and cyberattacks and a national security council for coordination, and it wants to strengthen protection for witnesses and crime victims.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan commits to an action plan with concrete measures against hybrid threats and cyberattacks and a national security council for coordination, and it wants to strengthen protection for witnesses and crime victims. A national crisis function that in case of large data breaches quickly identifies and protects people with protected identity is an application of precisely these commitments. The plan does not mention the function as such, so the coverage is derived.
Original (Swedish)
Planen åtar sig en handlingsplan med konkreta åtgärder mot hybridhot och cyberattacker samt ett nationellt säkerhetsråd för samordning, och den vill stärka skyddet för vittnen och brottsoffer. En nationell krisfunktion som vid stora personuppgiftsläckor snabbt identifierar och skyddar personer med skyddad identitet är en tillämpning av just dessa åtaganden. Planen nämner inte funktionen som sådan, varför coverage är härledd.

The plan seeks to improve central crisis leadership capacity and establishes that society's vulnerability in an increasingly digitalized society must be better evaluated.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan seeks to improve central crisis leadership capacity and establishes that society's vulnerability in an increasingly digitalized society must be better evaluated. A national function that can immediately respond to major personal data breaches directly addresses this. The plan's victim support line, with strengthened protection for threatened persons, also argues that the most vulnerable should be quickly warned and protected.
Original (Swedish)
Planen vill förbättra den centrala krisledningsförmågan och slår fast att samhällets sårbarhet i ett allt mer digitaliserat samhälle måste utvärderas bättre. En nationell funktion som omedelbart kan agera vid stora personuppgiftsläckor svarar direkt mot det. Planens brottsofferlinje, med stärkt skydd för hotade personer, talar också för att de mest utsatta snabbt ska varnas och skyddas.
- digital vulnerabilitydecisive»Samhällets sårbarhet behöver bättre utvärderas, inkluderat hur ett allt mer elektrifierat och digitalt samhälle påverkar utsattheten vid en kris eller störning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society's vulnerability needs to be better evaluated, including how an increasingly electrified and digital society affects vulnerability in a crisis or disturbance.”
