Industrial promotion measures

The election manifesto explicitly requires the state to take an active role in industry's transition through a massive investment program, major state investments in the transition from fossil to renewable and significantly increased electricity production. It also links the transition to housing construction and massive education initiatives for the new green jobs. The counter-proposal's requirements for active state leadership with fast permit processes, electricity, housing and competence supply are thus the plan's own commitments.

• massive green investment programdecisive»Vänsterpartiet föreslår ett massivt investeringsprogram för den gröna industrin.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party proposes a massive investment program for the green industry.”
• expanded renewable electricity»Produktionen av både el och exempelvis vätgas behöver öka kraftigt när vi ställer om från användning av fossila bränslen, därför behöver staten gå in med satsningar på förnybar energi.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Production of both electricity and for example hydrogen needs to increase significantly when we transition from the use of fossil fuels, therefore the state needs to invest in renewable energy.”
• competence supply for the transition»En framgångsrik klimatomställning kräver många nya och kunskapsintensiva arbeten, hög kompetens och satsningar på utbildningsväsendet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“A successful climate transition requires many new and knowledge-intensive jobs, high competence and investments in education.”
• increased housing construction»Vänsterpartiet vill se ett statligt byggbolag, investeringsstöd för ökat bostadsbyggande och en aktiv markpolitik.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party wants to see a state construction company, investment support for increased housing construction and active land policy.”

The election manifesto makes state-led industrial transformation a core commitment: state investments shall speed up the pace of industry's transformation, bureaucratic obstacles shall be torn down and slow permit processes shall be speeded up, while the climate policy framework remains fixed. The counter-proposal's demands for an active state, rapid permit processes with maintained environmental performance and expanded electricity production are the same line. The part on expanded labour immigration cuts against the plan's demands for limitation, but does not carry the proposal.

• state investments in transformationdecisive»Genom statliga investeringar kan vi öka takten i industrins omställning och underlätta ett klimatsmart liv.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Through state investments we can speed up the pace of industry's transformation and facilitate a climate-smart life.”
• faster permit processes»Riv de byråkratiska hindren för mer el. Långsamma tillståndsprocesser ska snabbas på.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tear down the bureaucratic obstacles for more electricity. Slow permit processes shall be speeded up.”
• the climate framework remains fixed»Det klimatpolitiska ramverket ska ligga fast.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The climate policy framework shall remain fixed.”
• limited labour immigration»Arbetskraftsinvandringen ska begränsas. I första hand ska arbetslösa i Sverige komma i arbete.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Labour immigration shall be limited. First and foremost the unemployed in Sweden shall come into work.”

The election manifesto demands a transition law that requires all industry to phase out fossil fuels by 2030, at least 100 billion per year in transition and powerful support for energy efficiency and expanded renewable electricity. The counter-proposal's demands for an active state, rapid permit processes with maintained environmental performance and secure workforce supply are the same policy. The plan is also open to labour immigration.

• transition law for industrydecisive»införa en omställningslag så att all industri fasar ut kol, olja och fossilgas till senast 2030.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“introduce a transition law so that all industry phases out coal, oil and fossil gas by 2030 at the latest.”
• government transition investments»investera minst 100 miljarder per år i att ställa om så att Sverige blir ett fossilfritt välfärdsland senast år 2030.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“invest at least 100 billion per year in transitioning so that Sweden becomes a fossil-free welfare state by 2030 at the latest.”
• energy efficiency in industry»införa ett kraftfullt stöd för energieffektivisering till både hushåll och industrier.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“introduce powerful support for energy efficiency for both households and industries.”
• openness to labour immigration»Vi vill att Sverige ska vara ett land som är öppet för arbetskraftsinvandring.« (party programme ↗)“We want Sweden to be a country that is open to labour immigration.”

The plan requires a forceful climate leadership where the state halves permit times for green investments and at least 50 TWh of emission-free electricity begins to be built during the parliamentary term, so that industry quickly gets electricity. It also explicitly values labour immigration for the business sector's skills supply. The counter-proposal's demands for an active state role in industry's climate transition with quick permits, expanded electricity production and secured skills supply correspond to these commitments point for point.

• faster permit processesdecisive»Klimatet kan inte vänta på dyra och krångliga regelverk. Det är dags att halvera tiden det tar att få tillstånd för gröna investeringar och reformera miljöbalken så att ett projekts klimatnytta ges större vikt i miljöprövningen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Climate cannot wait for expensive and complicated regulations. It is time to halve the time it takes to get permits for green investments and reform the Environmental Code so that a project's climate benefit is given greater weight in environmental review.”
• expanded emission-free electricity»Minst 50 TWh utsläppsfri el måste börja byggas nästa mandatperiod.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At least 50 TWh of emission-free electricity must begin to be built during the next parliamentary term.”
• skills supply through immigration»Värna arbetskraftsinvandringen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Protect labour immigration.”
• active climate leadership»Sverige behöver ett handlingskraftigt klimatledarskap som gör skillnad på riktigt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden needs forceful climate leadership that makes a real difference.”

The plan binds itself to reaching climate goals within the framework of a growing economy and wants to ensure that there is sufficient electricity for new industries to be powered by clean energy. The counter-proposal's demands for fast permit processes with maintained environmental performance and expanded electricity production correspond to this. The plan also explicitly wants to facilitate labour migration and stop competence deportations, which is the counter-proposal's competence supply part.

• climate goals with growthdecisive»Vi ska nå klimatmålen – inga nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser senast 2045 och därefter negativa utsläpp – inom ramen för en växande ekonomi.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall reach the climate goals – no net greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 and thereafter negative emissions – within the framework of a growing economy.”
• electricity for industry transition»Nu behöver vi energipolitik som ser till att det både finns billig el i hela landet och tillräcklig med el till både nya elbilar alla de nya industrier som nu kan drivas på ren energi i stället för olja, gas och kol.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Now we need energy policy that ensures that there is both cheap electricity throughout the country and sufficient electricity for both new electric cars all the new industries that can now be powered by clean energy instead of oil, gas and coal.”
• labour migration»Fler kunniga människor ska lockas att arbetskraftsinvandra till vårt land och bidra till vårt« (party programme ↗)“More skilled people shall be attracted to labour migrate to our country and contribute to our”
• stop competence deportations»Kompetensutvisningarna av högkvalificerad arbetskraft måste få ett slut.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Competence deportations of highly qualified workers must end.”

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's package rests on expanded renewable electricity production and better conditions for labour immigration. The election manifesto instead prioritizes nuclear power and establishes that wind power can only be a supplement, while the migration policy line is strict. The requirement for faster approval processes is, however, supported by the plan, which is why the conclusion is uncertain.

• wind power only as a supplementdecisive»Bygg ut vindkraften men med respekt för den lokala demokratin och anpassa storleken efter lokala villkor. Vindkraft kan dock bara vara ett komplement.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Expand wind power but with respect for local democracy and adapt the size to local conditions. Wind power can, however, only be a supplement.”
• nuclear power as the base»Satsa på kärnkraften med långsiktiga villkor att utvecklas. Förläng befintliga reaktorers drift och bygg ut med nya reaktorer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in nuclear power with long-term conditions to develop. Extend existing reactors' operation and expand with new reactors.”
• 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.”
• efficient approval processes»Men planprocessen måste också präglas av effektivitet och god serviceanda gentemot de aktörer som vill bygga och utveckla stad och landsbygd.« (party programme ↗)“But the planning process must also be characterized by efficiency and good service spirit towards those actors who wish to build and develop city and countryside.”

The plan explicitly wants to shorten and simplify the permit processes for industries that are switching over, continue to invest in Industriklivet and invest in the electricity grid so that power reaches. It also wants to stop skills deportations and coordinate training places to secure the supply of skills. The counter-proposal's demand for an active state role in industry's climate transition therefore coincides with the plan's commitments, although the plan prefers to talk about fossil-free rather than renewable.

• faster permits for industrydecisive»Utöver det vill vi förkorta och förenkla tillståndsprocesser för industrier som satsar på omställning och få på plats en storskalig satsning på tekniker för att fånga in och lagra koldioxid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Beyond that we want to shorten and simplify permit processes for industries investing in transition and put in place a large-scale initiative on technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide.”
• Industriklivet»Fortsätta satsa på Industriklivet som hjälper industrin att ställa om« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Continue to invest in Industriklivet which helps industry transition”
• power to industry»Investera i det svenska elnätet och korta tillståndsprocesserna för elnätsutbyggnad« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in the Swedish electricity grid and shorten permit processes for electricity grid expansion”
• retain foreign top-tier skills»Sätta stopp för kompetensutvisningarna« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Put a stop to skills deportations”

The counter-proposal calls for, among other things, expanded renewable electricity production and better conditions for labour immigration with the Paris Agreement as a guiding star. The plan instead wants to stop labour immigration to occupations that can be filled by domestic labour, invest in nuclear power and align Swedish climate targets with the EU level so that living standards and competitiveness are not sacrificed. The plan therefore speaks against the demand.

• limited labour immigrationdecisive»Stoppa arbetskraftsinvandring till yrken som kan tillgodoses av inhemsk arbetskraft« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop labour immigration to occupations that can be filled by domestic labour”
• climate targets aligned with EU»De svenska klimatmålen bör anpassas till den klimatlagstiftning som finns på EU-nivå för att inte kraven på andra länder ska bli lägre som en konsekvens av att vi gör mer än nödvändigt på bekostnad av vår levnadsstandard och konkurrenskraft.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Swedish climate targets should be aligned with the climate legislation that exists at EU level so that demands on other countries do not become lower as a consequence of us doing more than necessary at the cost of our living standard and competitiveness.”
• nuclear power over renewables»Sverigedemokraterna vill göra en långsiktig satsning på den nya generationens kärnkraft.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to make a long-term investment in the new generation of nuclear power.”
• stop symbolic politics»Stoppa symbolpolitik som går ut över möjligheten att bedriva industri och näring« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop symbolic politics that undermines the ability to conduct industry and commerce”
