Future development of the security protection act

The plan does not address aviation safety. The nearest principle is that the party guards personal integrity and wants to counter growing surveillance and registration, which argues against expanded authority for personnel to carry body cameras. The plan additionally wants to steer transport towards railways and sustainable shipping rather than building out capacity and infrastructure for more direct air routes.

• counter surveillancedecisive»och registrering ska motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“and registration shall be countered.”
• protection of privacyweak support»Alla människor har rätt till en bred privat sfär« (party programme ↗)“All people have the right to a broad private sphere”
• transport to railways»Tunga transporter behöver styras till järnväg och hållbar sjöfart.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Heavy transport needs to be steered towards railways and sustainable shipping.”

The plan does not address aviation security, but requires strengthened international action against crime, that terrorist acts and organized violence against the civilian population are always rejected and that crime-fighting activities are given more tools. Measures against hijackings and attacks, sobriety checks and body cameras for personnel point in that direction. The plan also emphasizes strengthened border control, which affects direct flights. The plan therefore supports the requirement, but the evidence is weak.

• international action against crimedecisive»Vi behöver förstärka det internationella arbetet mot brottsligheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We need to strengthen international action against crime.”
• terrorist acts always rejected»mot civilbefolkningen, måste därför alltid avvisas.« (party programme ↗)“against the civilian population, must therefore always be rejected.”
• more tools against crime»Polisen behöver också fler verktyg, som bättre möjligheter till avlyssning och husrannsakan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The police also need more tools, such as better opportunities for surveillance and house searches.”
• strengthened border control»Vi vill ta krafttag mot införsel av vapen och narkotika, bland annat genom stärkt gränskontroll.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to take forceful action against smuggling of weapons and narcotics, among other things through strengthened border control.”

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 counter-proposal wants to build out capacity and infrastructure for more safe direct lines and give staff the right to wear body cameras. The plan wants instead to reduce air travel, let air travel bear its own costs without public subsidies to airports and to invest in fast rail connections, and opposes disproportionate integrity intrusions. The plan therefore speaks against the demand.

• reduced air traveldecisive»minska flygets utsläpp — höja flygskatten, minska flygresandet och skynda på omställningen till förnybara bränslen, elektrobränslen och elflyg för de flygresor som inte kan ersättas på annat sätt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“reduce aviation emissions — raise the aviation tax, reduce air travel and accelerate the transition to renewable fuels, electrofuels and electric aircraft for those flights that cannot be replaced in other ways.”
• aviation bears its costs»Det är för oss självklart att flyget ska bära« (party programme ↗)“It is self-evident to us that aviation shall bear”
• integrity protection against surveillance»alla lagar som innebär oproportionerliga ingrepp i« (party programme ↗)“all laws that entail disproportionate intrusions into”
• rail before air»Inom landet och Europa vill vi bygga ut snabba« (party programme ↗)“Within the country and Europe we want to build out fast”

The plan does not address aviation safety. The nearest lying commitments are that aviation infrastructure shall function throughout the country and the general requirement for increased safety where more crimes that affect people in everyday life shall be cleared up. Based on these principles the counter-proposal's security-raising measures and investments in safe direct flights lie in the plan's direction, but the basis is weak.

• functioning aviation infrastructuredecisive»Det regionala flyget håller ihop Sverige. Flyginfrastrukturen ska fungera i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Regional aviation holds Sweden together. Aviation infrastructure shall function throughout the country.”
• increased safety»Tryggheten ska förbättras i hela landet och fler brott som drabbar folk i deras vardag ska klaras upp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Safety shall be improved throughout the country and more crimes that affect people in their everyday lives shall be cleared up.”
• safety in everyday life»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.”
• strengthened preparedness»Vi måste rusta civilförsvaret och samhällets beredskap inför krig och kris.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We must equip civil defence and society's preparedness for war and crisis.”

The plan does not address aviation safety, sobriety checks or body cameras. The nearest-lying commitments are that the rule of law shall be strengthened so that Sweden is a secure country, that camera surveillance of public places shall be simplified and that cross-border crime and terrorism shall be met together. Based on these principles the plan speaks for the counter-proposal's requirements, with the reservation that integrity-affecting measures must be effective and proportionate.

• simplified camera surveillancedecisive»Möjligheten till kamerabevakning på offentlig plats ska förenklas.« (party programme ↗)“The option for camera surveillance of public places shall be simplified.”
• safer Sweden»Rättsstaten ska stärkas. Sverige ska vara ett tryggt land att leva i.« (party programme ↗)“The rule of law shall be strengthened. Sweden shall be a secure country to live in.”
• cross-border crime fighting»Gränsöverskridande brottslighet måste mötas med en gränsöverskridande polis.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Cross-border crime must be met with cross-border police.”
• proportionate integrity measures»Åtgärder som påverkar den personliga integriteten negativt är endast berättigade om ett motstående intresse väger uppenbart tyngre och åtgärden är effektiv.« (party programme ↗)“Measures that negatively affect personal integrity are only justified if a countervailing interest weighs clearly heavier and the measure is effective.”

The plan explicitly requires that it shall be forbidden to drive under the influence of alcohol or other drugs on land, water and in the air, which directly addresses the demand for more sobriety tests of flight personnel. It also demands a zero vision for fatalities and serious injuries in traffic and capability to meet attacks from terrorism. Work against hijackings and attacks and safer direct flights thus lie in line with the plan.

• sobriety also in the airdecisive»vara förbjudet på land, på vatten och i luften.« (party programme ↗)“be forbidden on land, water and in the air.”
• zero vision for traffic injuries»Det är viktigt med en nollvision för dödsfall och svåra« (party programme ↗)“It is important to have a zero vision for fatalities and serious”
• protection against terrorism»möta angrepp från internationell kriminalitet, terrorism, cyberkrigföring, biologiska vapen, kemiska vapen« (party programme ↗)“meet attacks from international crime, terrorism, cyber warfare, biological weapons, chemical weapons”
• prioritized transport safety»Sjösäkerheten ska prioriteras.« (party programme ↗)“Maritime safety shall be prioritized.”

The plan views security as the major freedom issue of our time and promises investments in equipment such as body cameras as well as state support to operations dealing with terror attacks, espionage, and attacks from foreign powers. The counter-proposal's demands for strengthened work against hijackings and attacks, secure direct lines, and body cameras for personnel are in line with that. Aviation security is not addressed, and the plan's promise for flight capacity is only in the form of Arlanda's expansion.

• security as freedom issuedecisive»Tryggheten har blivit vår tids stora frihetsfråga.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Security has become the great freedom issue of our time.”
• body cameras as a tool»Satsa på polisens utrustning, exempelvis kroppskameror men också vattenkanoner att använda vid exempelvis upplopp« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in police equipment, for example body cameras but also water cannons to use in, for example, riots”
• support against security threats»Ge företag som är engagerade i säkerhetskänslig verksamhet bättre stöd från staten att kunna möta cyberattacker, spionage och stöldförsök från främmande makt« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give companies engaged in security-sensitive operations better support from the state to meet cyberattacks, espionage, and theft attempts from foreign powers”
• expanded airport capacity»Bygga ut Arlanda med målet att Arlanda ska bli den ledande flygplatsen i Norden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Expand Arlanda with the goal of Arlanda becoming the leading airport in the Nordic region”

The election manifesto wishes to combat international terrorism and Islamism, increase security throughout Sweden and give the justice system more tools, including camera surveillance, to prevent and investigate crime. The counter-proposal's demands for work against hijackings and attacks, more sobriety tests and body cameras for flight personnel align with that direction, as does the demand for capacity for secure direct lines with the plan's commitment to preserve domestic aviation and regional airports. The plan does not mention aviation security, therefore support is inferred.

• camera surveillance as tool»Åtgärder ska vidtas för att bättre kunna kartlägga gängaktiva genom t.ex. underrättelsearbete och informationsinhämtning, spaning, kameraövervakning och avlyssning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Measures shall be taken to better map gang members through, for example, intelligence work and information gathering, surveillance, camera surveillance and surveillance.”
