Rejection of the proposition

The plan requires that asylum seekers are guaranteed an individual and procedurally fair assessment under dignified conditions and that Sweden gives people a refuge from war and oppression. The counter-proposal's demand that the proposition be rejected because it restricts individuals' rights in a far-reaching way and lacks a children's rights analysis follows from that line. The plan also wants to realize the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the principle of the child's best interests in every situation.

• procedurally fair and dignified assessmentdecisive»sin rätt till en individuell och rättssäker prövning under värdiga« (party programme ↗)“their right to an individual and procedurally fair assessment under dignified”
• refuge from war»fristad undan krig och förtryck. Här ska den som söker asyl garanteras« (party programme ↗)“refuge from war and oppression. Here the person seeking asylum is guaranteed”
• against inhumane refugee policy»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 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.”
• children's best interests»liga barnkonventionen och principen att i varje läge se till barnets« (party programme ↗)“ligi Convention on the Rights of the Child and the principle of seeing the child's”

The plan demands order and regulation in refugee reception through increased state control and stands firm on strict migration policy, which speaks for order and security in detention to be maintained. A rejection of the entire proposal has no support in the plan. The plan's protection of the rule of law principles qualifies the design but does not justify the proposal falling in its entirety.

• order and state controldecisive»Ordning och reda i flyktingmottagandet, genom ökad statlig kontroll, styrning och fördelning.« (party programme ↗)“Order and regulation in refugee reception, through increased state control, management and distribution.”
• strict migration policy»Långsiktigt hållbar svensk migrationspolitik som under överskådlig tid behöver vara stram för att integrationen ska fungera.« (party programme ↗)“Long-term sustainable Swedish migration policy which must remain strict for the foreseeable future for integration to work.”

• rule of law principles»Slå vakt om rättsstatens principer.« (party programme ↗)“Uphold the principles of the rule of law.”

The plan establishes that the person who was denied asylum shall not be held in detention and opposes laws with disproportionate intervention in integrity, which supports the counter-proposal's requirement to reject the proposal for expanded coercive measures. The requirement for a children's rights analysis corresponds to the plan's requirement that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child becomes law and that political decisions are preceded by child impact analysis.

• restrictive use of detentiondecisive»Den som får avslag på sin asylansökan ska inte hållas i förvar, utan i första hand få hjälp att frivilligt återvända till sitt hemland.« (party programme ↗)“The person who is denied asylum shall not be held in detention, but shall first and foremost be helped to voluntarily return to their home country.”
• against disproportionate intervention»Vi motsätter oss alla lagar som innebär oproportionerliga ingrepp i integriteten.« (party programme ↗)“We oppose all laws that entail disproportionate intervention in integrity.”
• child impact analysis of decisions»FN:s barnkonvention ska bli svensk lag och politiska beslut bör föregås av en barnkonsekvensanalys.« (party programme ↗)“The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child shall become Swedish law and political decisions should be preceded by a child impact analysis.”
• strengthened legal certainty»stärka rättssäkerheten i asylprocessen och stödet för hbtqi-flyktingar och andra sårbara grupper.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen legal certainty in the asylum process and support for LGBTQI+ refugees and other vulnerable groups.”

The stance rests on the quoted commitment in the party's own documents; the actual vote deviated. Click the quote to verify it in the document.

The election manifesto makes the defence of the rule of law and the individual's rights against the state into an explicit commitment and rejects far-reaching coercive measures. The counter-proposal's grounds that the proposal restricts individual rights too far, falls short on legal security and lacks child rights analysis connect to precisely those commitments. The party programme's requirement for proportionality and for the child's perspective leads to the same conclusion.

• rule of law before coercive measuresdecisive»Rättsstaten och individens rättigheter gentemot staten måste försvaras. Vi säger därför nej till visitationszoner, kollektiv bestraffning, omvänd bevisbörda, anonyma vittnen, preventiv avlyssning och inskränkningar av religionsfriheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The rule of law and the individual's rights against the state must be defended. We therefore say no to search zones, collective punishment, reversed burden of proof, anonymous witnesses, preventive wiretapping and restrictions of freedom of religion.”
• proportionality requirement»Det måste finnas en proportionalitet mellan lagstiftningens inskränkning av medborgarnas integritet och lagarnas syfte.« (party programme ↗)“There must be proportionality between the legislation's restriction of citizens' integrity and the law's purpose.”
• the child's perspective»Samhällets aktörer ska inta individens perspektiv. Av största betydelse är då barnens rättigheter och perspektiv.« (party programme ↗)“Society's actors shall adopt the individual's perspective. Of utmost importance are then the child's rights and perspective.”
• humane migration policy»Centerpartiet strävar efter öppna gränser, fri rörlighet samt en generös och human flykting- och invandringspolitik.« (party programme ↗)“The Centre Party strives for open borders, free movement and a generous and humane refugee and immigration policy.”

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 explicitly requires that more people waiting for expulsion and rejection shall be held in detention and that those without asylum grounds shall leave the country, which requires that order and security can be maintained in detention facilities. Rejecting the proposal entirely therefore goes against the plan's line. The plan simultaneously requires that individuals' opportunities to assert their rights increase and that no one is subjected to degrading treatment, but this does not justify a total rejection.

• more in detentiondecisive»Fler som väntar på både utvisning och avvisning ska hållas i förvar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More people waiting for both expulsion and rejection shall be held in detention.”
• executed rejections»Asylrätten ska värnas där den med asylskäl ska stanna och den utan skäl lämnar landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Asylum rights shall be protected where those with asylum grounds shall remain and those without grounds leave the country.”
• rights against authorities»Den enskildes möjligheter att hävda sina rättigheter gentemot myndigheterna måste öka.« (party programme ↗)“Individuals' opportunities to assert their rights against authorities must increase.”
• dignified treatment during expulsion»eller förnedrande behandling under avvisning eller utvisning« (party programme ↗)“or degrading treatment during rejection or expulsion”

The counter-proposal wants to reject the proposal in its entirety. The election manifesto requires strict migration policy and that order and security are restored, which speaks for the enhanced control powers needed to maintain order and security in detention. The plan's requirement for legal certainty and that the child's perspective shall always be present in migration matters gives some support to the criticism, but does not carry a complete rejection.

• strict migration policydecisive»Stram migrationspolitik krävs för att ta itu med integrationsproblem och utanförskap.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strict migration policy is required to tackle integration problems and exclusion.”
• restored order»Tryggheten på gator och torg måste återupprättas, brottsförebyggande arbetet måste stärkas, brottslingar dömas och brottsoffer få upprättelse.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Security on streets and squares must be restored, crime prevention work must be strengthened, criminals must be convicted and crime victims receive redress.”
• child perspective in migration matters»Barnperspektivet ska alltid finnas med i migrations« (party programme ↗)“The child's perspective shall always be present in migration”
• protection of personal integrity»Den personliga integriteten ska ha ett starkt« (party programme ↗)“Personal integrity shall have strong”

The counter-proposal wants to reject the proposition on expanded control and coercive measures in detention in its entirety. The plan's migration line requires orderly processes, control over how the rules are followed and that the person who received a rejection quickly leaves the country, which presupposes functioning order and safety in detention operations. The plan emphasizes legal certainty in all public exercise of power, but this is not sufficient to a rejection of the entire proposal.

• quick returndecisive»Av största vikt är att den som fått ett nej på asylansökan så fort som möjligt lämnar landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is of the utmost importance that the person who received a no to their asylum application leaves the country as soon as possible.”
• strict migration policy»En målstyrd, stram och hållbar migrationspolitik är en förutsättning för att integrationen ska fungera.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“A targeted, strict and sustainable migration policy is a prerequisite for integration to work.”
• orderly processes»Vår öppenhet mot omvärlden ska alltid bygga på ordnade« (party programme ↗)“Our openness to the world shall always be based on orderly”
• legal certainty as condition»Sverige ska ha ett rättsväsende präglat av rättssäkerhet« (party programme ↗)“Sweden shall have a justice system characterized by legal certainty”

The counter-proposal wants to reject the proposal in its entirety on the grounds that it restricts individual rights too much. The plan, by contrast, demands strict restrictions and detention for security threats and that the thresholds for detention and enforced deportations are lowered. It also wants to tighten the immigration law to the strictest possible level and combat the shadow economy with more controls.

• strict restrictions in detentiondecisive»Införa hårda restriktioner och förvar för säkerhetshot som befinner sig i Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce strict restrictions and detention for security threats in Sweden.”
• lowered thresholds for detention»Trösklarna för att ta i förvar och utvisa personer samt verkställa utvisningar behöver också sänkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The thresholds for detaining and deporting people and enforcing deportations also need to be lowered.”
• more controls and deportations»Bekämpa skuggsamhället och illegal migration med fler kontroller och fler utvisningar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Combat the shadow economy and illegal migration with more controls and more deportations”
