Segregation
Further measures against segregation
What's at stake: The outcome affects people in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas, where the goal of reduced segregation and equal conditions for growing up has not yet been reached, and determines whether work against segregation and honour-related oppression is pursued through a dedicated strategy or within the ordinary budget and inquiry process.
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 already-funded budget measures against segregation are sufficient, or whether a coordinated, long-term plan is needed to combat segregation.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee notes that the goal of reduced segregation has not been reached, but points to broad measures in the budget bill and secured access to the Segregation Barometer database; it has no objection to the ambition behind a coordinated plan but judges the ordinary budget and inquiry processes to be sufficient, and therefore opposes the call for a general plan.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 15 (MP)
The reservation (MP) agrees that the goal of reduced segregation has not been reached and links the fight against segregation to combating patriarchal and oppressive values; it demands that the government take further action to counter segregation and improve integration.
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 15 by MP.
Abstain The party marks a position of its own that is not one of the two final alternatives.
The decision would have gone the other way
Explicit commitments that contradicted the vote: CCenterpartiet, LLiberalerna, MModeraterna, SDSverigedemokraterna, VVänsterpartiet
Ja 189–13Nej 15–187
Counterfactual: the parties above are moved to the position their own documents explicitly point at, carrying their whole contingent present. Every other party keeps its real figures, including dissenters and absentees.
How the AI parties would have voted
For each party: what its own plan – election manifesto and party programme – argues for in this case, next to how the party actually voted. The AI can only answer Yes or No; a party can also abstain.

Committee proposal
Parliament rejects the motions 2022/23:1369 by Åsa Eriksson et al. (S), 2022/23:2053 by Teresa Carvalho et al. (S) demand 6 and 2022/23:2277 by Märta Stenevi et al. (MP) demand 103.
Original (Swedish)
Riksdagen avslår motionerna 2022/23:1369 av Åsa Eriksson m.fl. (S), 2022/23:2053 av Teresa Carvalho m.fl. (S) yrkande 6 och 2022/23:2277 av Märta Stenevi m.fl. (MP) yrkande 103.
Riksdag decision: Parliament rejected approximately 25 proposals that deal with various integration measures. The proposals were submitted during the general motion period 2022. The motions deal, among other things, with the settlement law, establishment of newly arrived women on the labor market, and societal orientation for newly arrived. Parliament rejected the motions, among other things, because investigation work within the integration area is ongoing.
Counter-proposals
- The counter-proposal wants the government to review the settlement law to ensure that municipalities comply with the obligation to receive quota refugees. (MP) — Reservation 15
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 makes fighting segregation a core issue and requires redistribution of resources to poor areas and suburbs, as well as general measures against unemployment, housing shortage and inequality.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan makes fighting segregation a core issue and requires redistribution of resources to poor areas and suburbs, as well as general measures against unemployment, housing shortage and inequality. It is also explicitly feminist and anti-racist, which includes fighting oppressive values. Thus further measures against segregation are precisely what the plan calls for.
Original (Swedish)
Planen gör kampen mot segregation till en kärnfråga och kräver omfördelning av resurser till fattiga områden och förorter samt generella åtgärder mot arbetslöshet, bostadsbrist och ojämlikhet. Den är också uttalat feministisk och antirasistisk, vilket omfattar kamp mot förtryckande värderingar. Ytterligare åtgärder mot segregationen är därför precis vad planen begär.
- redistribution to suburbsdecisive»det kräver en annan politik och att vi omfördelar resurserna från rika till fattiga människor, från rika områden till fattiga områden och förorter« (2022 manifesto ↗)“it requires different policy and that we redistribute resources from rich to poor people, from rich areas to poor areas and suburbs”
- structural measures against segregation»Generella åtgärder mot arbetslöshet, bostadsbrist och ojämlikhet« (party programme ↗)“General measures against unemployment, housing shortage and inequality”
- housing against segregation»jämställdhet och gemenskap och motverka segregation« (party programme ↗)“equality and community and prevent segregation”

Breaking segregation is one of the plan's main promises, with requirements to get to the bottom of the causes of residential segregation and to improve integration.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
Breaking segregation is one of the plan's main promises, with requirements to get to the bottom of the causes of residential segregation and to improve integration. The plan also explicitly connects the fight against segregation to action against honour-related violence and oppression. Further measures against segregation and for better integration are thus exactly what the plan requires.
Original (Swedish)
Att bryta segregationen är ett av planens huvudlöften, med krav på att gå till botten med orsakerna till boendesegregationen och att integrationen förbättras. Planen kopplar också uttryckligen kampen mot segregation till krafttag mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. Ytterligare åtgärder mot segregation och för bättre integration är därmed precis vad planen kräver.
- break residential segregationdecisive»Gå till botten med orsakerna till boendesegrega tionen. Vi har stramat åt migrationspolitiken, och denna linje ligger fast.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Get to the bottom of the causes of residential segregation. We have tightened immigration policy, and this line is firm.”
- segregation shall be broken»Bryt segregationen för att hålla ihop Sverige« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Break segregation to hold Sweden together”
- against honour-related oppression»Krafttag för att stoppa hedersrelaterat våld, sexualbrott och mäns våld mot kvinnor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Action to stop honour-related violence, sexual crimes and men's violence against women.”
- mixed housing forms»Segregationen bryts inte med särlösningar för resurssvaga. Boende- och upplåtelseformer ska vara blandade. Trångboddheten ska bekämpas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Segregation is not broken with separate solutions for the underprivileged. Housing and tenure forms shall be mixed. Overcrowding shall be combated.”

The plan explicitly requires further measures against segregation: school segregation shall be broken, preventive work in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas shall be prioritized and housing policy shall counteract segregation.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan explicitly requires further measures against segregation: school segregation shall be broken, preventive work in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas shall be prioritized and housing policy shall counteract segregation. The plan also connects this to the fight against honor-related violence and oppression. The counter-proposal's demands thereby coincide with the plan's own commitments.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver uttryckligen ytterligare åtgärder mot segregationen: skolsegregationen ska brytas, det förebyggande arbetet i socioekonomiskt eftersatta områden ska storsatsas på och bostadspolitiken ska motverka segregation. Planen kopplar också samman detta med kampen mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. Motförslagets krav sammanfaller därmed med planens egna åtaganden.
- break school segregationdecisive»bryta skolsegregationen och göra skolvalet fritt och rättvist för alla« (2022 manifesto ↗)“break school segregation and make school choice free and fair for all”
- prevention in disadvantaged areas»storsatsa på det förebyggande arbetet i socioekonomiskt eftersatta områden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“prioritize preventive work in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas”
- housing policy against segregation»Miljöpartiets bostadspolitik ska motverka segregation och främja lika rättigheter« (party programme ↗)“The Green Party's housing policy shall counteract segregation and promote equal rights”
- against honor-related oppression»stärka arbetet mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck så att likvärdig hjälp ges i hela landet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen work against honor-related violence and oppression so equal help is provided across the country”
The election manifesto makes segregation a main priority for the parliamentary term and describes the divide between those born in Sweden and those born abroad as a systemic fault that must be reversed.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto makes segregation a main priority for the parliamentary term and describes the divide between those born in Sweden and those born abroad as a systemic fault that must be reversed. The plan also explicitly links segregation and exclusion to honour-based culture and other oppressive structures that must be counteracted. The counter-proposal's demand for additional measures against segregation and for better integration therefore aligns with the plan's own commitments.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet gör segregationen till en huvudprioritering för mandatperioden och beskriver klyvningen mellan födda i Sverige och utrikes födda som ett systemfel som måste vändas. Planen kopplar också uttryckligen segregation och utanförskap till hederskultur och andra förtryckande strukturer som ska motarbetas. Motförslagets krav på ytterligare åtgärder mot segregation och för bättre integration ligger därför i linje med planens egna åtaganden.
- segregation as main prioritydecisive»Sverige är segregerat mellan dem med och utan jobb, mellan de som är födda här och i andra länder, mellan dem med och utan utbildning. Att vända detta måste vara en huvudprioritet inför nästa mandatperiod.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden is segregated between those with and without jobs, between those born here and in other countries, between those with and without education. Reversing this must be a main priority for the next parliamentary term.”
- counteract oppressive structures»Både flickor och pojkar tar skada när de trycks ner i fack som inte passar dem — vare sig det handlar om hederskultur i familjen, särbehandling i skolan eller diskriminering på arbetsplatsen. Sådana strukturer och normer måste tas på allvar och motarbetas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Both girls and boys suffer when they are confined to roles that do not suit them — whether through honour culture in the family, special treatment at school or discrimination in the workplace. Such structures and norms must be taken seriously and counteracted.”
- zero tolerance for honour-based oppression»Ingen ska utsättas för hedersförtryck i Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No one shall be subjected to honour-based oppression in Sweden.”
- faster integration»Skapa ett intensivår för snabbare integration.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Create an intensive year for faster integration.”

The plan's most binding commitment on the subject is that Sweden in 2030 shall have not a single disadvantaged area, and that policy must respond to the breadth of the lack of freedom that segregation creates.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan's most binding commitment on the subject is that Sweden in 2030 shall have not a single disadvantaged area, and that policy must respond to the breadth of the lack of freedom that segregation creates. The plan also explicitly links segregation to undemocratic and honour-related values and to separatists' power in disadvantaged areas. The counter-proposal's demands for additional measures against segregation and for integration therefore follow directly from the plan.
Original (Swedish)
Planens mest bindande åtagande på området är att Sverige år 2030 inte ska ha ett enda utsatt område, och att politiken måste svara upp mot vidden av den ofrihet segregationen skapar. Planen kopplar också uttryckligen segregationen till odemokratiska och hedersrelaterade värderingar och till separatisters makt i utsatta områden. Motförslagets krav på ytterligare åtgärder mot segregation och för integration följer därför direkt av planen.
- no disadvantaged areas 2030decisive»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 not a single disadvantaged area.”
- policy matching the problem»Nu behövs en politik som svarar upp mot vidden av den ofrihet och otrygghet som segregationen leder till.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Now policy is needed that responds to the breadth of the lack of freedom and insecurity that segregation leads to.”
- against honour-based oppression and parallel societies»Parallella samhällen med odemokratiska värderingar och parallell rättsskipning får aldrig accepteras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Parallel societies with undemocratic values and parallel administration shall never be accepted.”
- stop the separatists»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 disadvantaged areas, protect schooling free from separatist influence and examine the possibility of introducing residence prohibitions for convicted criminals in disadvantaged areas.”

The party programme establishes that policy shall be designed so that ethnic, social and economic segregation is opposed, among other things through varying forms of tenure in all residential areas.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The party programme establishes that policy shall be designed so that ethnic, social and economic segregation is opposed, among other things through varying forms of tenure in all residential areas. The election manifesto links integration problems and exclusion to the need for action and points to areas where extremists have gained decisive influence. The plan therefore supports demands for further action against segregation.
Original (Swedish)
Partiprogrammet slår fast att politiken ska utformas så att etnisk, social och ekonomisk segregation motverkas, bland annat genom varierande upplåtelseformer i alla bostadsområden. Valmanifestet knyter integrationsproblem och utanförskap till behovet av åtgärder och pekar på områden där extremister fått avgörande inflytande. Planen stöder därför krav på ytterligare åtgärder mot segregationen.
- oppose segregationdecisive»Därigenom motverkas etnisk, social och ekonomisk segregation.« (party programme ↗)“Thereby ethnic, social and economic segregation is opposed.”
- mixed forms of tenure»Strävan bör vara att det i alla stadsdelar och bostadsområden ska finnas varierande upplåtelseformer« (party programme ↗)“The goal should be that in all districts and residential areas there are varying forms of”
- strict immigration policy»Stram migrationspolitik krävs för att ta itu med integrationsproblem och utanförskap.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strict immigration policy is required to address integration problems and exclusion.”
- oppose extremist influence»Det finns också områden där islamistiska extremister har en avgörande påverkan på samhällslivet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There are also areas where Islamist extremists have decisive influence on community life.”
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 makes segregation a main issue and demands a series of additional measures: investments in the Swedish language and the quality of teaching, inspection and closure of schools that promote segregation, and zero tolerance for honor-based abuse with a national mapping.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan makes segregation a main issue and demands a series of additional measures: investments in the Swedish language and the quality of teaching, inspection and closure of schools that promote segregation, and zero tolerance for honor-based abuse with a national mapping. The connection between segregation and patriarchal, oppressive values is explicit in the plan. Therefore, the plan supports the demand for additional measures against segregation and for better integration.
Original (Swedish)
Planen gör segregationen till en huvudfråga och kräver en rad ytterligare åtgärder: satsningar på svenska språket och undervisningens kvalitet, granskning och stängning av skolor som främjar segregation, samt nolltolerans mot hedersförtryck med en nationell kartläggning. Kopplingen mellan segregation och patriarkala, förtryckande värderingar är uttalad i planen. Därför stöder planen kravet på ytterligare åtgärder mot segregation och för bättre integration.
- language and school break segregationdecisive»De enskilt viktigaste åtgärderna för att bryta segregationen handlar om kvaliteten i undervisningen och det svenska språket.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The most important measures to break segregation are about the quality of teaching and the Swedish language.”
- zero tolerance for honor-based abuse»Kvinnofientliga traditioner och strukturer kan aldrig accepteras i ett fritt, öppet och jämställt samhälle.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women-hostile traditions and structures can never be accepted in a free, open, and equal society.”
- map honor-based abuse»Genomföra en nationell kartläggning av hedersförtryckets utbredning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Conduct a national mapping of the prevalence of honor-based abuse”
- close segregating schools»Ge Skolinspektionen i särskilt uppdrag att granska och stänga skolor som kan misstänkas främja radikalisering och segregation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the School Inspectorate a special assignment to inspect and close schools that can be suspected of promoting radicalization and segregation”

The plan makes the fight against segregation and oppressive honour culture a central commitment and establishes that integration policy has so far failed despite extensive costs.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan makes the fight against segregation and oppressive honour culture a central commitment and establishes that integration policy has so far failed despite extensive costs. The counter-proposal's requirement for additional measures against segregation and its connection to patriarchal values thereby aligns with the plan. The plan also speaks against the committee's reasoning that broad budgeted measures and ordinary processes suffice.
Original (Swedish)
Planen gör kampen mot segregation och mot förtryckande hederskultur till ett centralt åtagande och slår fast att integrationspolitiken hittills misslyckats trots omfattande kostnader. Motförslagets krav på ytterligare åtgärder mot segregationen och kopplingen till patriarkala värderingar ligger därför i linje med planen. Planen talar också emot utskottets skäl att breda budgeterade åtgärder och ordinarie processer räcker.
- assimilation against segregationdecisive»Integrationspolitiken ska bygga på assimilering och främja sammanhållningen i landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Integration policy shall be based on assimilation and promote cohesion in the country.”
- combat honour-based oppression»Hederskultur är oförenligt med svenska värderingar och ska bekämpas med samhällets samlade resurser.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Honour culture is incompatible with Swedish values and shall be combated with society's combined resources.”
- growing segregation»Antalet segregerade områden där gäng och klaner pressat tillbaka det svenska samhället har vuxit i både antal och i graden av segregation.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The number of segregated areas where gangs and clans have pushed back Swedish society has grown in both number and degree of segregation.”
- no support for segregating groups»Stoppa statligt stöd till extremistiska organisationer och andra grupper som verkar segregerande« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop government support for extremist organisations and other groups that promote segregation”
