Personnel supply

The party programme requires a well-functioning justice system with independent courts and that legal certainty is upheld, which presupposes that courts can recruit and train judges and decide cases within reasonable time. The counter-proposal's requirement for long-term workforce provision and a review of protection for court staff follow from that commitment. The plan also emphasises good resources for the justice system's actors.

• independent courtsdecisive»Samhället behöver ett väl fungerande rättsväsende, med självständiga« (party programme ↗)“Society needs a well-functioning justice system, with independent”
• legal certainty shall be valued»Utvecklingen av ett rättsväsende byggt på rättssäkerhet är viktig« (party programme ↗)“The development of a justice system built on legal certainty is important”
• resources for the justice system»Goda resurser till polis,« (party programme ↗)“Good resources to the police,”
• upheld legal certainty»Rättssäkerheten behöver upprätthållas genom rättshjälp, medborgerlig« (party programme ↗)“Legal certainty needs to be upheld through legal aid, civic”

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 assigns the state responsibility for securing the supply of qualified personnel and demands stronger linkage between education and society's staffing needs, which directly supports the requirement for long-term judge recruitment and notary training. Moreover, society's full resources must be mobilized against crime, which presupposes courts capable of handling the case load. The party programme's demand that no one shall be intimidated into silence supports the review of staff protection.

• state responsibility for competence supplydecisive»Staten har ett ansvar för att säkra kompetensförsörjningen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state has responsibility for securing the supply of qualified personnel”
• education according to society's needs»Det ska finns en starkare koppling mellan de utbildningar som erbjuds och de behov av personal som finns i samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There shall be a stronger link between the training offered and the personnel needs that exist in society.”
• mobilize against crime»Samhällets fulla kraft ska mobiliseras för att trycka tillbaka de kriminella« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society's full force shall be mobilized to push back the criminals”
• protection against threats and silencing»försöker skrämma enskilda personer, journalister och politiker till tystnad.« (party programme ↗)“seek to intimidate individuals, journalists and politicians into silence.”

The party programme requires an effective and well-functioning judiciary that has public confidence and wants to see a diversity of backgrounds represented within the courts, which argues for both broad judge recruitment and long-term education. The election manifesto also shows willingness to allocate resources to the judiciary. Long-term recruitment opportunities and a review of protection for court staff therefore align with the plan.

• effective judiciarydecisive»ett effektivt och välfungerande rättsväsen som har allmänhetens förtroende.« (party programme ↗)“an effective and well-functioning judiciary that has public confidence.”
• broad recruitment to the judiciary»det är viktigt att en mångfald av bakgrunder och« (party programme ↗)“it is important that a diversity of backgrounds and”
• resources to the judiciary»se fler och bättre betalda poliser för att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten och för att motverka parallellsamhällen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“see more and better-paid police to combat organized crime and counter parallel societies.”

The plan promises more resources for courts, shorter processing times and strengthened protection for people working in public administration. The counter-proposal's requirement for long-term recruitment and training of judges and a review of protection for court personnel are the same commitments. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

• resources for courtsdecisive»mer resurser till polis, åklagare, domstolar och kriminalvården och strängare straff« (2022 manifesto ↗)“more resources for police, prosecutors, courts and prisons and stricter sentences”
• shorter processing times»Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Processing times and official actions in courts and agencies must be shortened and access to legal representation must be improved.”
• protection for public officials»Vi ska stärka skyddet för personer verksamma bland annat i media, religiösa samfund och offentlig förvaltning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We should strengthen protection for people working in media, religious organizations and public administration, among others.”
• independent courts»stärka domstolarnas oberoende« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen the independence of courts”

The election manifesto explicitly establishes that we need more judges and more prosecutors, and the party programme that the justice system's capacity must be improved so that processing times are shortened. The counter-proposal's demand for long-term recruitment and training of judges carries the same commitment. Reviewing protection for exposed staff follows from the plan's line on protection for public employees and judicial independence.

• more judges and prosecutorsdecisive»Samtidigt behöver vi fler domare och fler åklagare, och fler häkten och fängelser med fler kriminalvårdare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time we need more judges and more prosecutors, and more remand facilities and prisons with more correctional officers.”
• shorter processing times»Rättsväsendets förmåga och effektivitet behöver förbättras« (party programme ↗)“The justice system's capacity and efficiency must be improved”
• judicial independence»öka domstolarnas oberoende« (2022 manifesto ↗)“increase the independence of the courts”
• protection for public employees»Socialsekreterare och andra offentliganställda ska skyddas mot förföljelse och utsatthet genom att ett nytt brott – tjänstemannaförföljelse – införs.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Social workers and other public employees must be protected against persecution and exposure through the introduction of a new crime – official persecution.”

The election manifesto stipulates that the entire justice system needs to be expanded and that more police require more prosecutors and courts in more places in the country. The party programme requires that the court system is organized so that judgments can be given within a reasonable time and that the courts' position is strong and independent. Long-term recruitment and training of judges and protection of court personnel follow directly from this.

• expanded justice systemdecisive»Hela rättsväsendet behöver byggas ut. Fler poliser kräver fler åklagare, domstolar på fler platser i landet och en kraftigt utbyggd kriminalvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The entire justice system needs to be expanded. More police require more prosecutors, courts in more places in the country and a significantly expanded prison system.”
• decisions within reasonable time»vara organiserat så att domar och beslut kan ges inom« (party programme ↗)“be organized so that judgments and decisions can be given within”
• strong independent courts»Domstolarnas ställning ska vara stark och självständig.« (party programme ↗)“The courts' position shall be strong and independent.”
• courts' independence»Domstolarna ska stå fria och oberoende från« (party programme ↗)“The courts shall stand free and independent from”

The counter-proposal requires long-term opportunities for courts to recruit and train judges and a review of protection for court staff. The plan states that the justice system is clearly underdimensioned, invests in more prosecutors so that more crimes lead to conviction and wants to strengthen court independence and a court system with the ability to judge fairly. The plan therefore supports the demand.

• underdimensioned justice systemdecisive»Svenskt rättsväsende är uppenbart underdimensionerat i förhållande till den kriminalitet som samhället drabbas av idag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Swedish justice system is clearly underdimensioned in relation to the criminality that society suffers from today.”

• strong independent courts»Stärka domstolarnas oberoende och skyddet för medborgarnas fri- och rättigheter« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen court independence and the protection of citizens' freedoms and rights”
• fair judging activity»domstolsväsende som har förmågan att döma rättssäkert.« (party programme ↗)“court system that has the ability to judge fairly.”

The plan commits to ensuring investments for a substantially upgraded justice system and substantial investments throughout the justice chain, and wants to strengthen the independence of the courts. It also wants to strengthen protection against threats, harassment and violence for those working in the justice system. Long-term recruitment and training of judges and a review of their protection align with these commitments.

• upgraded justice systemdecisive»Säkerställa satsningar för ett kraftigt upprustat rättsväsende« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ensure investments for a substantially upgraded justice system”
• investments in justice chain»Sverigedemokraterna vill kraftigt skärpa straffen och genomföra kraftiga satsningar på polis, åklagare och anstalter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to substantially tighten penalties and conduct substantial investments in police, prosecutors and prisons.”
• independent courts»Stärka domstolarnas oberoende« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen the independence of the courts”
