Termination of commercial tenancy agreements

The election manifesto emphasises the fight against crime's deeper causes and warns that repression and a tougher approach are raised as solutions instead of taking problems seriously. The counter-proposal demands swift legislation giving property owners expanded rights to forfeit lease agreements for premises, that is, precisely a repressive measure the plan does not call for. The party programme's requirements for rule of law principles and that crimes be prosecuted within ordinary legal frameworks point in the same direction.

• fight against crime's deeper causes»Kriminaliteten behöver mötas både med ett fungerande och närvarande rättssystem som fler patrullerande poliser, arbete mot narkotikahandel, kamp mot tillgången till illegala skjutvapen och ett effektivt avhopparprogram, men framför allt med en kamp mot kriminalitetens djupare orsaker« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Crime needs to be met both with a functioning and present justice system such as more patrolling police, work against drug trafficking, fight against access to illegal firearms and an effective exit programme, but above all with a fight against crime's deeper causes”

• crimes prosecuted within ordinary frameworks»Vi avvisar en särskild terroristlagstiftning och menar att våldsbrott ska lagföras inom ordinarie rättsramar.« (party programme ↗)“We reject special terrorism legislation and believe that violent crimes should be prosecuted within ordinary legal frameworks.”

The election manifesto establishes that the fight against crime shall be uncompromising and that one shall strike hard against organized crime's organization, with residential areas terrorized as an explicit problem. To quickly make it easier to forfeit a commercial lease when crime can be linked to the premises is a means for this. The party programme requires that society reacts clearly to crime.

• uncompromising fight against crimedecisive»Kampen mot kriminaliteten ska vara kompromisslös.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The fight against crime shall be uncompromising.”
• strike against organized crime»Slå hårt mot den organiserade brottslighetens finansiering och organisation.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strike hard against organized crime's financing and organization.”

• clear reaction to crime»Samhället måste reagera tydligt mot brott och regelöverträdelser.« (party programme ↗)“Society must react clearly to crime and violations of regulations.”

The election manifesto commits to stopping gang financing through authorities being able to strike at organised crime's businesses from several directions, explicitly including illegal clubs and other activities in premises. To make it easier to forfeit a premises lease when criminal activity can be linked to the premises is precisely such a tool. The plan states that it shall be so difficult and unprofitable to conduct organised crime that gangs withdraw, and the party programme sees severe organised crime as a threat to democracy.

• strike at gangs' businessesdecisive»stärka myndighetssamverkan så att myndigheterna kan slå till mot den organiserade brottslighetens företag från flera håll« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen coordination between authorities so that authorities can strike at organised crime's businesses from several directions”
• unprofitable organised crime»I det gröna folkhemmet ska det vara så svårt och olönsamt att bedriva organiserad brottslighet att gängen drar sig tillbaka.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In the green commonweal it shall be so difficult and unprofitable to conduct organised crime that gangs withdraw.”
• organised crime threatens democracy»grova organiserade brottsligheten utgör ett hot mot« (party programme ↗)“serious organised crime constitutes a threat to”

The plan establishes that society must not yield to gangs and wants to cut off the criminal enterprise's income, while safety on streets and squares shall be improved. Quickly making it easier to revoke a local rental agreement when crime can be linked to the premises serves precisely this purpose. The plan simultaneously requires rule of law and rejects collective punishment, which limits the support.

• crackdown on gangsdecisive»Samhället ska inte vika sig för gängen. För att besegra dem krävs bättre insatser som förebygger nyrekrytering, mer resurser till polis, åklagare, domstolar och kriminalvården och strängare straff.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society must not yield to gangs. To defeat them requires better initiatives that prevent recruitment, more resources to police, prosecutors, courts and prison services and tougher sentences.”
• cut off gangs' income»Dessutom bör en utredning om gängens inkomster och hur dessa kan strypas genomföras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Moreover, an inquiry should be conducted on gangs' income and how this can be cut off.”
• safety in the neighbourhood»Du ska känna dig trygg på gator, på torg och i ditt eget hem.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You shall feel safe on streets, on squares and in your own home.”
• rule of law and proportionality»Rättsstaten och individens rättigheter gentemot staten måste försvaras. Vi säger därför nej till visitationszoner, kollektiv bestraffning, omvänd bevisbörda, anonyma vittnen, preventiv avlyssning och inskränkningar av religionsfriheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The rule of law and the individual's rights in relation to the state must be defended. We therefore say no to search zones, collective punishment, reversed burden of proof, anonymous witnesses, preventive wiretapping and restrictions on religious freedom.”

The plan makes increased security in vulnerable residential areas a central issue and sets the goal that Sweden in 2030 shall not have a single vulnerable area. To quickly be able to forfeit a local lease agreement when crime can be linked to the location is a tool to take back power from criminals. However, the plan is silent on precisely rental law, so the position is derived.

• security in vulnerable areasdecisive»Ökad trygghet är en central fråga för att lyfta utsatta bostadsområden.« (party programme ↗)“Increased security is a central issue for lifting vulnerable residential areas.”
• no vulnerable areas in 2030»Vårt viktigaste mål är detta: Sverige ska år 2030 inte ha ett enda utsatt område.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Our most important goal is this: Sweden shall in 2030 have no single vulnerable area.”
• take back power from criminals»Vi vill ta tillbaka makten från separatister i utsatta områden, värna en skolgång fri från separatistisk påverkan och pröva möjligheten att införa vistelseförbud för dömda kriminella i utsatta områden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to take back power from separatists in vulnerable areas, protect schooling free from separatist influence and examine the possibility of introducing entry bans for convicted criminals in vulnerable areas.”
• tougher on lifestyle criminals»Livsstilskriminella ska hållas inlåsta i stället för att släppas ut på våra gator.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Lifestyle criminals shall be kept locked up instead of released on our streets.”

The election manifesto requires that security in streets and squares be restored and that criminals' assets and status symbols be seized to strike at gangs' foothold. The counter-proposal's demand for swift legislation making it easier to forfeit a premises lease when crime can be linked to the premises is consistent with this and with the plan's requirement that laws be upheld firmly. The plan also wants societies to be designed so that crime is prevented and made difficult. However, premises leases are not addressed explicitly.

• återupprätta trygghetendecisive»Tryggheten på gator och torg måste återupprättas, brottsförebyggande arbetet måste stärkas« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Security in streets and squares must be restored, crime prevention work must be strengthened”
• frånta kriminella resurser»Beslagta kriminellas statussymboler och bekämpa på så sätt negativa förebilder som rekryterar unga in i gängkriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Seize status symbols of criminals and thereby combat negative role models that recruit young people into gang criminality.”
• lagarna upprätthålls med fasthet»Respekten för lagarna ska därför upprätthållas« (party programme ↗)“Respect for laws should therefore be upheld”
• brottsförebyggande samhällsbyggande»trygghet främjas samtidigt som brott förebyggs och försvåras« (party programme ↗)“security is promoted at the same time as crime is prevented and made difficult”

The plan promises to make it easier to evict gang criminals, to take gangs' money and to adapt legislation so that more criminals disappear from the streets; business owners are singled out as targets for gangs' system-threatening attacks. To promptly present a bill making it easier to forfeit a premises lease when criminality can be linked to the premises follows directly from that line.

• easier to evict criminalsdecisive»Införa ett bidragsstopp för gängkriminella och göra det enklare att vräka dem« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce a benefit freeze for gang criminals and make it easier to evict them”
• adapted legislation against gangs»Gängen är Sveriges inhemska terrorister – och lagstiftningen måste anpassas därefter så att fler ställs till svars och försvinner från gatan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Gangs are Sweden's domestic terrorists – and legislation must be adapted accordingly so that more are held accountable and disappear from the streets.”
• protect business owners against gangs»Företagare är många gånger måltavla för de kriminella gängens systemhotande angrepp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Business owners are often targets of the criminal gangs' system-threatening attacks.”
• take gangs' assets»Ta gängens pengar och införa en omvänd bevisbörda för att kunna beslagta gängmedlemmarnas lyxprylar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Take gangs' money and introduce reversed burden of proof to be able to seize gang members' luxury goods”

The plan establishes that few political measures are too far-reaching in pushing back criminal gangs, and seeks to give the justice system, police and enforcement authority tools that make criminal lifestyles unattractive. Being able to quickly forfeit a premises lease when crime can be linked to the premises is exactly such a tool. The commitment to increase security in all residential areas points in the same direction.

• uncompromising stance on gangsdecisive»Sverigedemokraterna anser att få politiska åtgärder är för långtgående när det kommer till att pressa tillbaka både de kriminella gängen och den kultur som gör att de får fäste.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats believe that few political measures are too far-reaching in pushing back both criminal gangs and the culture that allows them to take hold.”
• tools against criminal environments»Polis, socialtjänst och kronofogde ska ges verktyg att statuera exempel och göra den kriminella livsstilen oattraktiv« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Police, social services and the enforcement authority shall be given tools to set an example and make criminal lifestyles unattractive”
• tools against gang crime»Ge rättsväsendet resurser och verktyg för att bekämpa gängen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the justice system resources and tools to combat gangs”
