Review

The plan requires that anyone seeking asylum is guaranteed an individual and legally secure examination and that legal security is maintained through transparency and independent scrutiny. To review all migration proposals before further restrictions are introduced serves precisely that legal security. The plan also explicitly opposes further restrictions on the right to seek asylum.

• legally secure asylum examinationdecisive»Här ska den som söker asyl garanteras sin rätt till en individuell och rättssäker prövning under värdiga omständigheter.« (party programme ↗)“Here the person seeking asylum shall be guaranteed their right to an individual and legally secure examination under dignified circumstances.”
• the right to seek asylum inviolable»Rätten att söka asyl kan aldrig tummas på« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The right to seek asylum can never be watered down”
• transparency and scrutiny»Rättssäkerheten behöver upprätthållas genom rättshjälp, medborgerlig insyn och oberoende granskning.« (party programme ↗)“Legal security needs to be maintained through legal aid, citizen transparency and independent scrutiny.”
• against successive restrictions»Asylrätten undergrävs just nu i land efter land.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The right to seek asylum is being undermined right now in country after country.”

The election manifesto establishes that the tightening of migration policy is fixed, and the party programme bases migration policy on regulated immigration. The counter-proposal requires that further restrictions are postponed pending a comprehensive review, which in effect brakes the continued tightening that the plan commits to. The plan's rule-of-law principles speak for predictability but do not justify a pause in legislative work.

• continued strict migration policydecisive»Vi har stramat åt migrationspolitiken, och denna linje ligger fast.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We have tightened migration policy, and this line is fixed.”
• regulated immigration»Det måste bygga på principen om reglerad invandring« (party programme ↗)“It must be based on the principle of regulated immigration”
• tightened requirements in migration policy»Det bör även ställas språkkrav för att få permanent uppehållstillstånd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Language requirements should also be placed to obtain permanent residence.”
• rule-of-law principles»Slå vakt om rättsstatens principer.« (party programme ↗)“Guard the principles of the rule of law.”

The plan requires that all new legislation is carefully tested based on legal certainty and fundamental freedoms and rights and stands for a humane and legally secure migration policy. The counter-proposal's requirement for a comprehensive review of migration proposals before further restrictions are introduced follows from that approach, since the plan wants to protect asylum rights and legal certainty in the asylum process rather than speeding up new restrictions.

• legal certainty testing of legislationdecisive»prövas noggrant utifrån rättssäkerhet och grundläggande fri- och rättigheter.« (party programme ↗)“tested carefully based on legal certainty and fundamental freedoms and rights.”
• humane and legally secure migration»Vi gröna står för en human och rättssäker migrationspolitik.« (party programme ↗)“We Greens stand for a humane and legally secure migration policy.”

• protected asylum rights»Asylrätten ska värnas i Sverige och i resten av EU och världen« (party programme ↗)“Asylum rights shall be protected in Sweden and in the rest of the EU and the world”

The party programme stands for open borders and a generous and humane refugee and immigration policy and requires that all legislation be tested against its impact on the individual with proportionality between restriction and purpose. A comprehensive review before further restrictions on the right to migrate are introduced follows from these commitments, as does the requirement that the rule of law and the individual's rights against the state are defended.

• humane migration policydecisive»Centerpartiet strävar efter öppna gränser, fri rörlighet samt en generös och human flykting- och invandringspolitik.« (party programme ↗)“Centerpartiet strives for open borders, free movement, and a generous and humane refugee and immigration policy.”
• proportionality in legislationweak support»All lagstiftning bör prövas mot dess påverkan på människors personliga integritet. Det måste finnas en proportionalitet mellan lagstiftningens inskränkning av medborgarnas integritet och lagarnas syfte.« (party programme ↗)“All legislation should be tested against its impact on people's personal integrity. There must be proportionality between the legislation's restriction of citizens' integrity and the laws' purpose.”
• protection of the rule of law»Rättsstaten och individens rättigheter gentemot staten måste försvaras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The rule of law and the individual's rights against the state must be defended.”

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 the asylum process is changed to live up to international obligations and that legal security is strengthened, and that Swedish migration legislation is in line with other EU countries'. A comprehensive review of the current migration proposals before further restrictions are introduced aligns with the demand for harmonized and legally secure application. The plan however says nothing about the order in which legislative changes should be prepared, which is why the conclusion is uncertain.

• international obligations in asylum processdecisive»Asylprocessen i Sverige behöver förändras för att leva upp till folkrättsliga åtaganden.« (party programme ↗)“The asylum process in Sweden needs to be changed to live up to international obligations.”
• legislation in line with EU»Ska integrationen lyckas måste Sverige få en migrationspolitik med en lagstiftning i linje med andra EU-länder.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“If integration is to succeed, Sweden must get a migration policy with legislation in line with other EU countries.”

The election manifesto requires strict migration policy and the party programme that irregular migration and human smuggling be opposed. To postpone further restrictions pending a comprehensive review of the entire migration law delays just the stricter order the plan wants. However, the plan's requirements for legal security and effective handling speak for the regulatory framework being coherent and predictable.

• strict migration policydecisive»Stram migrationspolitik krävs för att ta itu med integrationsproblem och utanförskap.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strict migration policy is required to address integration problems and exclusion.”
• oppose irregular migration»Vi vill motverka irreguljär migration, motverka människosmuggling och ha ett« (party programme ↗)“We want to oppose irregular migration, oppose human smuggling and have a”

The plan demands a goal-oriented and strict migration policy where the number of asylum seekers decreases significantly and legislation is set at EU law's minimum level. To wait with further restrictions until a joint review of all migration proposals has been completed postpones exactly the tightening the plan wants to implement. The plan also emphasizes that anyone who has received a rejection should leave the country quickly.

• significantly reduced asylum immigrationdecisive»Antalet asylsökande till Sverige behöver minska betydligt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The number of asylum seekers to Sweden needs to decrease significantly.”
• strict migration policy»En målstyrd, stram och hållbar migrationspolitik är en förutsättning för att integrationen ska fungera.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“A goal-oriented, strict and sustainable migration policy is a prerequisite for integration to work.”
• minimum level according to EU law»Anpassa asyllagstiftningen efter den rättsliga miniminivån enligt EU-rätten« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Adapt asylum legislation to the legal minimum level according to EU law”
• quick return»Av största vikt är att den som fått ett nej på asylansökan så fort som möjligt lämnar landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Of greatest importance is that anyone who has received a no on their asylum application leaves the country as soon as possible.”

The plan requires the strictest possible immigration legislation and explicitly states that the government's already submitted and announced bills are far from sufficient. The counter-proposal instead wants to await a comprehensive review before further restrictions are introduced, which delays the tightening the plan wants to see implemented. The plan therefore speaks against the counter-proposal's demands.

• strictest possible immigration lawdecisive»Utifrån dessa principer vill Sverigedemokraterna utforma den striktast möjliga utlänningslagstiftningen som är möjlig inom ramen för de europeiska asylreglerna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Based on these principles, Sweden Democrats want to shape the strictest possible immigration legislation possible within the framework of European asylum rules.”
• tightening is too slow»De propositioner som regeringen lämnat och aviserat är långt ifrån tillräckliga.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The bills that the government has submitted and announced are far from sufficient.”
• lower thresholds for enforcement»Trösklarna för att ta i förvar och utvisa personer samt verkställa utvisningar behöver också sänkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Thresholds for detaining and deporting persons and enforcing deportations also need to be lowered.”
• tightened migration rules»Skärpa reglerna i utlänningslagen till striktas möjliga nivå enligt EU-rätten« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tighten the rules in the immigration law to the strictest possible level under EU law”
