Own accommodation

The counter-proposal demands that the opportunity for own accommodation be abolished, which is a sharpening in precisely the controlling direction the plan condemns as psychological violence against a vulnerable group. The plan demands instead dignified circumstances and a secure existence as the foundation for rooting and integration. The plan therefore speaks against the demand. The committee's reasons concern the marginal utility of coercive means, which the plan does not address.

• against inhumane refugee policydecisive»Vänsterpartiet anser att den inhumana flyktingpolitik som råder, med tillfälliga och villkorade uppehållstillstånd, är en form av psykologiskt våld mot en redan utsatt grupp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Left Party believes that the inhumane refugee policy that prevails, with temporary and conditional residence permits, is a form of psychological violence against an already vulnerable group.”
• dignified circumstances for asylum seekers»Här ska den som söker asyl garanteras« (party programme ↗)“Here the person seeking asylum should be guaranteed”
• security gives integration»Tvärtom, det är genom en trygg och permanent tillvaro i samhället som vi människor rotar oss.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“On the contrary, it is through a secure and permanent existence in society that we humans put down roots.”
• safeguard asylum rights»Rätten att söka asyl kan aldrig tummas på, vi kräver att endast permanenta uppehållstillstånd ska utfärdas vid beviljad asyl.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The right to seek asylum can never be compromised, we demand that only permanent residence permits should be issued when asylum is granted.”

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 establishes that asylum seekers shall no longer have the opportunity to choose where they shall live, as part of work against residential segregation. The party programme requires order and clarity in reception with state governance and distribution and that all municipalities take responsibility. The counter-proposal's requirement to abolish own housing is thereby directly borne by the plan.

• abolished own housingdecisive»Asylsökande ska inte längre ha möjlighet att själva välja var de ska bo.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Asylum seekers shall no longer have the opportunity to choose where they shall live.”
• state governance of reception»Ordning och reda i flyktingmottagandet« (party programme ↗)“Order and clarity in refugee reception”
• even distribution across the country»Jämn fördelning av nyanlända över landet genom att alla kommuner tar ansvar.« (party programme ↗)“Even distribution of newly arrived across the country by all municipalities taking responsibility.”
• strict migration policy»Vi har stramat åt migrationspolitiken, och denna linje ligger fast.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We have tightened migration policy, and this line is firm.”

The plan stands for a humane and legally secure migration policy where asylum seekers should be met with openness and given the opportunity to establish themselves, and is a libertarian party that wants to increase people's empowerment to shape their own lives. Completely abolishing the option of self-provided housing forces asylum seekers to assigned housing and thus goes against the plan's line. However, the plan does not explicitly address self-provided housing.

• humane and legally secure migrationdecisive»Vi gröna står för en human och rättssäker migrationspolitik.« (party programme ↗)“We Greens stand for a humane and legally secure migration policy.”
• open reception»Människor som kommer till Sverige ska mötas med öppenhet, inkludering och samhällsintroduktion för att snabbt bli en del av samhällslivet.« (party programme ↗)“People who come to Sweden should be met with openness, inclusion and social introduction to quickly become part of social life.”
• opportunity to establish themselves»Den som har rätt till asyl ska välkomnas och ges möjlighet att etablera sig i Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Those who are entitled to asylum should be welcomed and given the opportunity to establish themselves in Sweden.”
• empowerment and freedom»Miljöpartiet är ett frihetligt parti. Vi vill öka människors egenmakt, frihet och utrymme att forma sina egna liv, sin tid och sitt arbetsliv.« (party programme ↗)“The Green Party is a libertarian party. We want to increase people's empowerment, freedom and space to shape their own lives, their time and their working life.”

The party programme establishes that everyone must be able to live and pursue their dreams regardless of where one wants to live and that people shall decide their own lives through their own free choices. To completely eliminate the possibility of independent housing for asylum seekers is the opposite of that freedom. The plan combines a generous and humane refugee policy with requirements for qualifying into security systems, not with mandatory placement.

• freedom to choose where to livedecisive»Alla ska kunna leva och förverkliga sina drömmar oavsett var man vill bo.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone must be able to live and pursue their dreams regardless of where one wants to live.”
• one's own free choices»Alla ska kunna bestämma över sina egna liv genom egna och fria val.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone shall be able to decide their own lives through their own free choices.”
• generous and humane refugee policy»Centerpartiet strävar efter öppna gränser, fri rörlighet samt en generös och human flykting- och invandringspolitik.« (party programme ↗)“The Center Party strives for open borders, free movement and a generous and humane refugee and immigration policy.”
• qualification into security systems»Nyanlända bör kvalificera sig in i trygghetssystemen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Newly arrived should qualify into security systems.”

The plan wants to steer where newly arrived settle through incentives and conditions, not through prohibition, and establishes that all municipalities shall be able to receive newly arrived. It also carries an explicit principle that each person shall be able to determine where they live. A general abolition of own housing goes further than what the plan gives support for, although the plan shares the goal of breaking segregation.

• incentives before prohibitiondecisive»Alla kommuner ska kunna ta emot nyanlända. Det är angeläget att nyanlända har förutsättningar och drivkrafter att bo i kommuner med god arbetsmarknad.« (party programme ↗)“All municipalities shall be able to receive newly arrived. It is important that newly arrived have conditions and incentives to live in municipalities with good labor market.”
• the right to choose place of residence»Som liberaler strävar vi efter att stegvis förverkliga det långsiktiga målet om en värld där människor kan röra sig fritt utan politiska hinder och där var och en själv kan bestämma var han eller hon ska söka skydd, bo och arbeta.« (party programme ↗)“As liberals we strive to gradually realize the long-term goal of a world where people can move freely without political obstacles and where each person can determine where he or she shall seek protection, live, and work.”
• break segregation in housing»Kommunala bostadsbolag ska både arbeta för att fler hyresrätter i utsatta områden omvandlas till bostadsrätter och för att få fler med egen försörjning och färre med försörjningsstöd att flytta till utsatta områden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Municipal housing companies shall work both to have more rental apartments in vulnerable areas converted to tenant-owned apartments and to get more with own livelihood and fewer on support to move to vulnerable areas.”
• regulated immigration»Under överskådlig tid ska Sverige ha reglerad invandring.« (party programme ↗)“During a foreseeable period Sweden shall have regulated immigration.”

The election manifesto requires a strict immigration policy precisely to address integration problems and exclusion, and the party programme wishes to counter residential segregation through mixed residential areas. Self-accommodation in vulnerable areas counters both goals, which supports the counter-proposal's requirement that the option be abolished except in exceptional cases. That immigrants have the right to settle where they wish qualifies but does not apply to reception during the asylum period.

• strict immigration policydecisive»Stram migrationspolitik krävs för att ta itu med integrationsproblem och utanförskap.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strict immigration policy is required to address integration problems and exclusion.”
• counter segregation»Strävan bör vara att det i alla stadsdelar och bostadsområden ska finnas varierande upplåtelseformer, för att därigenom få till stånd en naturlig blandning av åldrar och människor med olika bakgrund och ekonomiska förutsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“The aim should be that in all districts and residential areas there should be varying forms of occupancy, thereby achieving a natural mix of ages and people with different backgrounds and economic conditions.”
• keys to integration»Jobb, kunskap i svenska språket och det civila samhället är viktiga nycklar till integration.« (party programme ↗)“Employment, knowledge of the Swedish language and civil society are important keys to integration.”
• right of settlement»Invandrare ska åtnjuta samma frihet som övriga medborgare och ha rätt att bosätta sig var de vill« (party programme ↗)“Immigrants shall enjoy the same freedom as other citizens and have the right to settle where they wish”

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 orderly processes in reception and warns of a growing shadow society with social vulnerability and criminality. It also wants the term 'exclusion area' to be consigned to history, which self-housing in vulnerable areas works against. Abolishing the possibility of self-housing except in exceptional cases thus aligns with the plan's strict and controlled line.

• orderly processesdecisive»Vår öppenhet mot omvärlden ska alltid bygga på ordnade« (party programme ↗)“Our openness to the outside world shall always be built on orderly”
• counteract shadow society»Vi riskerar annars ett växande skuggsamhälle, med social utsatthet, illegalt arbete och brottslighet – där särskilt barn drabbas hårt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We risk otherwise a growing shadow society, with social vulnerability, illegal work and criminality – where children in particular are severely affected.”
• break exclusion areas»För det finns ett Sverige där ordet utanförskapsområde är förpassat till historien, för att inget område längre är utanför.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For there is a Sweden where the term 'exclusion area' is consigned to history, so that no area is any longer excluded.”
• strict asylum legislation»Anpassa asyllagstiftningen efter den rättsliga miniminivån enligt EU-rätten« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Adapt the asylum legislation to the legal minimum level according to EU law”

The plan demands the strictest possible immigration legislation, more controls and lowered thresholds for detention, and points out that asylum seekers who remain outside organised reception feed the shadow economy. The counter-proposal's demand to abolish the option of self-accommodation except in very limited exceptional cases is such a tightening. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's cause, even if self-accommodation is not mentioned specifically.
