The party programme wants to create a more inclusive society by making all parts of society accessible and establishes that lack of accessibility leads to poverty and exclusion. Easings in accessibility and usability requirements are a departure from precisely that commitment and affect people with reduced mobility or orientation ability and the elderly. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's motion to reject.

The plan requires that obstacles for persons with disabilities to participate in society are removed and that they shall be able to live their lives like others. Relaxations in requirements for accessibility and usability instead build new obstacles into the housing stock, which the counter-proposal wants to stop. The plan also requires that substandard housing is addressed.

• removed obstaclesdecisive»Undanröjda hinder för personer med funktionsnedsättning att delta i samhällslivet.« (party programme ↗)“Removed obstacles for persons with disabilities to participate in society.”
• live life like others»Personer med funktionsnedsättning ska kunna leva sitt liv som andra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Persons with disabilities shall be able to live their lives like others.”
• no substandard housing»Undermåliga bostäder och trångboddhet åtgärdas.« (party programme ↗)“Substandard housing and overcrowding are addressed.”
• housing as social right»Bostaden är en social rättighet.« (party programme ↗)“Housing is a social right.”

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 establishes that building shall promote accessibility and inclusion so that people with disabilities are given real choices, and that society shall be accessible to all. Relaxations in accessibility and usability requirements directly contradict this and affect people with reduced mobility or orientation capacity. The counter-proposal's requirement to reject the relaxations thus follows directly from the plan.

• accessible buildingdecisive»inkludering, så att även personer med funktionsnedsättning ges reella valmöjligheter.« (party programme ↗)“inclusion, so that people with disabilities are given real choices.”
• society accessible to all»Vi i Miljöpartiet vill ha ett samhälle som är tillgängligt för alla.« (party programme ↗)“We in the Greens want a society that is accessible to everyone.”
• counteract lack of accessibility»Funkofobi och bristande tillgänglighet ska motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“Funcofobi and lack of accessibility shall be counteracted.”
• strengthened disability rights»förbättra stödet för personer med funktionsnedsättning och sällsynta diagnoser oavsett var du bor i landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“improve support for people with disabilities and rare diagnoses regardless of where you live in the country.”

The plan states that accessibility is crucial for people with disabilities and that society shall have full accessibility, which supports the counter-proposal's demand to reject reliefs. The plan also wants those with disabilities to get the support they need. The plan's ambition for simpler building regulations pulls in the other direction, but the accessibility commitment is more specific.

• full accessibilitydecisive»Tillgängligheten är avgörande för människor med olika funktionsnedsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“Accessibility is crucial for people with different disabilities.”
• support for disability»Du som har en funktionsnedsättning ska få det stöd du behöver, och staten ska ta ett större ansvar för att LSS fungerar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You who have a disability shall get the support you need, and the state shall take greater responsibility for ensuring that LSS works.”
• protection against discrimination»Mer måste göras mot diskriminering. Vi vill stärka myndigheternas arbete mot diskriminering och höja ersättningen till dem som utsatts, samt lägga till kön och funktionsnedsättning som hatbrottsgrunder.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More must be done against discrimination. We want to strengthen the authorities' work against discrimination and increase compensation to those who have been subjected to it, and add gender and disability as hate crime grounds.”
• simpler building regulations»Vi ska rensa upp bland överflödiga regler och byråkrati.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We will clean up among unnecessary rules and bureaucracy.”

The plan establishes that Sweden shall be an accessible country and that lack of accessibility shall be seen as discrimination, and that the disability rights convention's article on the right to live independently shall become law. The counter-proposal wants to reject the relaxations in accessibility requirements with reference to precisely that convention and to persons with impaired mobility. The plan's desire to simplify building regulations pulls in the other direction but does not outweigh the accessibility commitment.

• inaccessibility is discriminationdecisive»Bristande tillgänglighet ska ses som diskriminering.« (party programme ↗)“Lack of accessibility shall be seen as discrimination.”
• accessible society»Sverige ska vara ett tillgängligt land. Den offentliga miljön, inklusive kollektivtrafiken, ska vara tillgänglig.« (party programme ↗)“Sweden shall be an accessible country. The public environment, including public transport, shall be accessible.”
• disability rights convention into law»Därför är det viktigt att funktionsrättskonventionens artikel om rätten att leva självständigt och delta i samhället blir till lag, och att funktionsrättsperspektivet alltid finns med när politiska beslut förbereds och fattas.« (party programme ↗)“Therefore it is important that the disability rights convention's article on the right to live independently and participate in society becomes law, and that the disability rights perspective is always present when political decisions are prepared and made.”
• simplified building regulations»Plan- och byggreglerna bör förenklas, överklagandeprocessen förkortas och möjligheterna till att begränsa kommunala särkrav ses över.« (party programme ↗)“Plan and building regulations should be simplified, the appeal process shortened and the possibilities for limiting municipal special requirements reviewed.”

The party programme establishes that it shall be self-evident that society is designed with high accessibility requirements, that the UN disability rights convention is a guiding light, and that special consideration must be given to elderly and persons with disabilities. Easing accessibility requirements pulls in the opposite direction. The counter-proposal's requirement for rejection therefore aligns with the plan, even though the plan also wants to avoid unnecessary obstacles to building.

• high accessibility requirementsdecisive»Ett annat viktigt sätt att minska funktionsnedsättningens betydelse är att öka tillgängligheten i samhället. Det ska vara självklart att offentliga inrättningar, anläggningar och informationssystem utformas med höga krav på tillgänglighet.« (party programme ↗)“Another important way to reduce the significance of disability is to increase accessibility in society. It shall be self-evident that public institutions, facilities and information systems are designed with high accessibility requirements.”
• disability rights convention as guiding light»En viktig ledstjärna i detta avseende är FN:s konvention om rättigheter för människor med funktionsnedsättning.« (party programme ↗)“An important guiding light in this regard is the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.”
• consideration for elderly and disabled persons»Särskild hänsyn måste också tas till äldre och till personer med funktionsnedsättning.« (party programme ↗)“Special consideration must also be given to elderly people and persons with disabilities.”
• avoid unnecessary building regulations»Krångel och onödiga regler får inte stå i vägen för en kommun att leva upp till sitt ansvar eller för enskildas möjligheter att utveckla sitt boende.« (party programme ↗)“Complications and unnecessary rules must not stand in the way of a municipality meeting its responsibility or individuals' opportunities to develop their housing.”

The plan's building policy is to simplify regulations to get more housing, all the way to abolishing the bathing ban and replacing detailed plans with simpler building plans. Relaxations of accessibility requirements are in that direction, while the counter-proposal wants to reject them. The plan therefore argues against the counter-proposal's demands, even if it does not speak to accessibility regulations in themselves.

• simplified building regulationsdecisive»Ersätta avancerade detaljplaner med enklare byggplaner« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Replace complex detailed plans with simpler building plans”
• regulatory relief for building»Avskaffa dagens strandskydd för att möjliggöra ökat byggande« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish today's bathing ban to enable increased building”
• acute housing shortage»Det är bostadsbrist i 207 av landets 290 kommuner.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is a housing shortage in 207 of the country's 290 municipalities.”
• reforms for more housing»Vi vill genomföra reformer som ökar byggandet av såväl hyressom bostadsrätter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to implement reforms that increase the construction of both rental and owner-occupied housing.”

The election manifesto's housing section explicitly demands that the extensive regulations and requirements governing housing construction be reviewed so that more housing can be built. The counter-proposal wants conversely to retain the full accessibility requirements and reject easements, which goes in the opposite direction from the plan's demand for simplified building standards. The plan's commitment on disabled people's living standards softens the assessment but carries less weight than the explicit simplification demand.

• simplify building rulesdecisive»Sverigedemokraterna vill underlätta bostadsbyggande genom att förenkla och snabba på beslutsprocesser och se över de omfattande regelverk och krav som styr bostadsbyggande.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to facilitate housing construction by simplifying and speeding up decision processes and reviewing the extensive regulations and requirements governing housing construction.”
• review of building standards»Nybyggnation kan underlättas genom att se över byggnormer och öka konkurrensen på byggmarknaden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“New construction can be facilitated by reviewing building standards and increasing competition on the construction market.”
• simplified planning processes»Anpassa och förenkla regler och processer för planering och byggnation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Adapt and simplify rules and processes for planning and construction”
• disabled people's living standard»Alla medborgare ska ha rätt till ett gott liv och en fullgod levnadsstandard, även om man är född med eller råkar ut för något som gjort att man har fysiska eller kognitiva begränsningar eller variationer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All citizens shall have the right to a good life and an adequate standard of living, even if one is born with or encounters something that has meant that one has physical or cognitive limitations or variations.”
