Revocation of residence permit

The plan rejects special legislation against terrorism, demands that crimes be prosecuted within ordinary legal frameworks and stands guard over a broad private sphere protected on principled grounds. Being able to withdraw residence permits on grounds that are difficult to verify is such an incursion the plan opposes, and the plan furthermore demands secure permanent residence permits. The counter-proposal's demands for legal certainty and clearer definitions therefore follow the plan.

• ordinary legal frameworksdecisive»avvisar en särskild terroristlagstiftning och menar att våldsbrott ska« (party programme ↗)“rejects special terrorist legislation and means that violent crimes should”
• protection for personal integrity»som skyddas på praktisk och principiell grund. Växande övervakning« (party programme ↗)“which is protected on practical and principled grounds. Growing surveillance”
• against conditional residence permits»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 ↗)“The Left Party considers the inhuman refugee policy that exists, with temporary and conditional residence permits, to be a form of psychological violence against an already vulnerable group.”
• permanent residence permits»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 shall be issued for granted asylum.”

The plan explicitly identifies espionage and hybrid attacks as threats that Sweden must be able to defend against, and it maintains a tightened immigration policy. The counter-proposal wants to prevent the proposed revocation possibility until the concepts are defined more clearly, which opposes the plan's requirement for capacity to act against state-sponsored espionage. The plan's protection of personal integrity points to strict criteria rather than abstention.

• defence against espionagedecisive»Vi måste kunna försvara oss militärt, men också mot hybridattacker, spionage och cyberangrepp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We must be able to defend ourselves militarily, but also against hybrid attacks, espionage and cyber attacks.”
• fixed strict immigration line»Vi har stramat åt migrationspolitiken, och denna linje ligger fast.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We have tightened immigration policy, and this line is fixed.”
• strengthened intelligence capacity»Vi vill fortsätta internationella samarbeten och utveckla cyberförsvaret och underrättelseförmågan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to continue international cooperation and develop cyber defence and intelligence capacity.”
• protection of integrity»Det är samhällets absoluta skyldighet att skydda friheten och den personliga integriteten« (party programme ↗)“It is society's absolute duty to protect freedom and personal integrity”

The plan values people's right to privacy and private life and opposes laws that entail disproportionate intrusions on privacy. It also requires that anyone seeking protection be guaranteed a legally secure examination and that legal security in the migration process be strengthened. A ground for revocation resting on difficult-to-verify circumstances and undefined terror connections runs counter to these commitments, which is why the requirement for clearer definition and better legal security is supported.

• safeguarded personal privacydecisive»Vi vill värna människors rätt till integritet och« (party programme ↗)“We wish to safeguard people's right to privacy and”
• against disproportionate intrusions»alla lagar som innebär oproportionerliga ingrepp i« (party programme ↗)“all laws that entail disproportionate intrusions into”

• legally secure examination»flyktingar ska garanteras en rättssäker asylprocess i« (party programme ↗)“refugees shall be guaranteed a legally secure asylum process in”

The party programme makes respect for personal integrity a cornerstone and requires that all legislation be tested against integrity and that any restriction is proportionate to its purpose. The election manifesto wants to defend the rule of law and the individual's rights against the state. A revocation ground resting on difficult-to-verify suspicions and an undefined terrorism link hits precisely that assessment. The plan therefore supports the demand for clearer definition and strengthened legal certainty.

• integrity review of legislationweak support»All lagstiftning bör prövas mot dess påverkan på människors personliga integritet.« (party programme ↗)“All legislation should be tested against its impact on people's personal integrity.”

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 that integrity-infringing measures are carefully tested, that all new bills are analysed from an integrity perspective, and that legal certainty is strengthened. The counter-proposal does not require that security matters are left untouched but that the concept of connection to terrorism is defined more clearly and that legal certainty is maintained, which follows from these commitments. At the same time, the plan wants Sweden to act without naivety regarding foreign powers' influence, which is why security in the conclusion is low.

The plan requires that Sweden can meet attacks from international crime and terrorism and that security policy is characterized by foresight, which presupposes that authorities can act early against activities that threaten national security. The election manifesto also requires a strict migration policy. The counter-proposal wants to slow down the legislative change; the plan's integrity protection justifies clear criteria but not that the possibility should be abandoned.

• meet terrorism and foreign threatsdecisive»möta angrepp från internationell kriminalitet, terrorism, cyberkrigföring« (party programme ↗)“meet attacks from international crime, terrorism, cyber warfare”
• strict migration policy»Stram migrationspolitik krävs för att ta itu med integrationsproblem och utanförskap.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strict migration policy is required to address integration problems and exclusion.”
• foresight security policy»Sveriges säkerhetspolitik ska präglas av samarbete, förutseende och helhetslösningar« (party programme ↗)“Sweden's security policy shall be characterized by cooperation, foresight and comprehensive solutions”

The plan commits to deporting foreign citizens who commit crimes at the prison level and gang members even without conviction, and to strengthening protection against espionage and theft attempts by foreign powers. That agencies should be able to act early against security threats is thus the plan's line. The counter-proposal's requirement to narrow and delay the legal change in the name of legal certainty is rejected by the plan.

• deportation for crimedecisive»Utvisa den som har medborgarskap i annat land och begår brott på fängelsenivå« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Deport those who hold citizenship in another country and commit crimes at the prison level”
• deportation without conviction»Utvisa gängmedlemmar, som inte är svenska medborgare, oavsett om de dömts för brott« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Deport gang members, who are not Swedish citizens, regardless of whether they have been convicted of crime”
• protection against state espionage»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 activities better support from the state to be able to meet cyberattacks, espionage and theft attempts by foreign powers”

The plan requires that the thresholds for taking into custody and expelling persons be lowered and that the aliens act be tightened to the strictest possible level. Security threats shall be monitored and expelled, with strict restrictions and detention. The counter-proposal's demand for narrower and clearer grounds would limit the possibility of withdrawing permission early and thus goes against the plan.

• lowered thresholds for expulsiondecisive»Trösklarna för att ta i förvar och utvisa personer samt verkställa utvisningar behöver också sänkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The thresholds for taking into custody and expelling persons as well as implementing expulsions also need to be lowered.”

• detention for security threats»Införa hårda restriktioner och förvar för säkerhetshot som befinner sig i Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce strict restrictions and detention for security threats that are in Sweden.”
