Other matter on expenditure area 9

The plan does not address the form for the government's reporting of ongoing investigations. The nearest principle is that the government shall be accountable to the Riksdag and that the principle of public access and transparency are building blocks of democracy. Based on this, there is a requirement for comprehensive reporting of which investigations are being prepared in the plan's direction, but the basis is weak.

• government's accountability to the Riksdagdecisive»Regeringen ska vara ansvarig inför riksdagen.« (party programme ↗)“The government shall be accountable to the Riksdag.”
• principle of public access»meddelarfriheten och offentlighetsprincipen.« (party programme ↗)“freedom of speech and the principle of public access.”
• transparency and scrutiny»insyn och oberoende granskning.« (party programme ↗)“transparency and independent scrutiny.”

The documents do not address how the government shall report ongoing investigations. The nearest lying principle is the party programme's demands that the democratic process and public administration shall be based on openness and transparency and that political responsibility shall be able to be demanded, which speaks for the counter-proposal's demand for a special report to the Riksdag.

• openness and transparencydecisive»Den demokratiska processen och samhällsförvaltningen måste bygga på offentlighet och« (party programme ↗)“The democratic process and public administration must be based on openness and”
• demanding political accountability»granska den och utkräva politiskt ansvar.« (party programme ↗)“examine it and demand political responsibility.”

The plan does not address the government's reporting of ongoing investigations, but it carries a general commitment to openness: citizens shall always be able to scrutinize power and participatory democracy requires easily accessible information. A special statement about which investigations are being prepared is in line with that principle. Since the support is derived solely from general democratic principles, the confidence is low.

• transparency in the exercise of powerdecisive»Medborgarna ska alltid kunna granska makten.« (party programme ↗)“Citizens shall always be able to scrutinize power.”
• easily accessible information»En deltagande demokrati kräver lättillgänglig information, en levande politisk debatt« (party programme ↗)“Participatory democracy requires easily accessible information, a vibrant political debate”
• the public access principle»Offentlighetsprincipen och meddelarfriheten måste värnas och stärkas.« (party programme ↗)“The public access principle and freedom of information must be protected and strengthened.”

The plan says nothing about the government's reporting of ongoing investigations. The closest principle is the election manifesto's commitment to greater transparency and that processing times for administration and public authority action must be shortened. The counter-proposal's demand for a special statement against protracted consideration aligns with that principle, but the basis is weak.

• shorter processing timesdecisive»Alla som bor i Sverige ska kunna få sin sak prövad. Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Everyone living in Sweden should be able to have their case heard. Processing times for administration and public authority action in courts and agencies must be shortened, and access to legal representation improved.”
• increased transparency»Sverige ska bli ännu mer transparent. Vi vill inrätta en antikorruptionsmyndighet, skärpa regler mot korruption och införa ett lobbyregister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden must become even more transparent. We want to establish an anti-corruption agency, tighten rules against corruption and introduce a lobbying register.”
• openness as democracy foundation»Öppenhet och transparens är grundförutsättningar för frihet, demokrati och för att förhindra korruption och övergrepp.« (party programme ↗)“Openness and transparency are fundamental prerequisites for freedom, democracy and for preventing corruption and abuse.”

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 does not address government reporting of which state investigations are processed within the expenditure area. The closest lying principle is the fundamental importance of the principle of public access for democracy and that democracy's lifeblood is that more examine and point out shortcomings. Based on that principle, a special report that increases insight into the preparation stage is close to the plan's line, but the ground is very weak.

• principle of public accessdecisive»Offentlighetsprincipen har en grundläggande betydelse för att förankra och fördjupa folkstyret« (party programme ↗)“The principle of public access has fundamental importance for anchoring and deepening democracy”
• examination and insight»Demokratins livsluft är att fler granskar, diskuterar och pekar ut samhällets brister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Democracy's lifeblood is that more examine, discuss and point out society's shortcomings.”

The plan does not address letters regarding ongoing investigations, but is based on the principle of public access and on the decision-making process being comprehensible so that responsibility can be held accountable. It also makes evaluation and follow-up a central political task. A requirement that the government report which investigations are being prepared is in line with these principles, which is why the reasoning supports it but with weak basis.

• the principle of public accessdecisive»Offentlighetsprincipen, det vill säga tillgången till« (party programme ↗)“The principle of public access, that is, access to”
• comprehensible decision-making process»Beslutsprocessen måste vara överblickbar för medborgarna och därmed ge möjlighet att utkräva ansvar.« (party programme ↗)“The decision-making process must be comprehensible to citizens and thus provide the opportunity to hold accountable.”
• follow-up a political task»Utvärdering, kostnadsuppföljning och kvalitetskontroll är därför viktiga politiska« (party programme ↗)“Evaluation, cost follow-up and quality control are therefore important political”

The documents say nothing about the government's reporting of ongoing investigations within budget area 9. The closest principle is the plan's requirement for decisiveness and shorter processing times, with a deadline for the government agencies' preparation, which speaks for the counter-proposal's purpose that proposals should not lose relevance in drawn-out preparation. The position is therefore derived from a general principle and uncertain.

• deadline for preparationdecisive»Korta myndigheternas handläggningstider genom en bortre tidsgräns« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Shorten government agencies' processing times through a deadline”
• decisiveness and implementation»en offensiv reformpolitik som på allvar kan ta itu med samhällsproblemen och få något gjort« (2022 manifesto ↗)“an offensive reform policy that seriously can tackle societal problems and get something done”
• pragmatic reform will»Det kräver en pragmatisk reformvilja och en förmåga att se samhällsproblem för vad de är.« (party programme ↗)“It requires a pragmatic reform will and an ability to see societal problems for what they are.”

The plan commits to increasing transparency and the possibility for political accountability and to demand clear results for every public initiative. A special written statement that accounts for which state investigations are being prepared in the area is just such a transparency measure. The plan does not address the preparation procedure as such, so the conclusion rests on the transparency principle.

• increased transparency and accountabilitydecisive»Tjänstemannaansvar ska införas och åtgärder ska genomföras för att öka transparensen och möjligheten att utkräva politiskt ansvarsutkrävande.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Official responsibility should be introduced and measures should be taken to increase transparency and the possibility to demand political accountability.”
• reporting requirements on the state»Begära tydliga resultat för varje offentlig satsning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Demand clear results for every public initiative”
• strengthened accountability»Sverigedemokraterna vill stärka möjligheter för ansvarsutkrävande när hanteringen av de offentliga resurserna brister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to strengthen opportunities for accountability when the handling of public resources falls short.”
