Payment plan in debt relief

The plan does not address debt relief, but states that needs and not payment capacity should be decisive and that the sick and unemployed should have the same right to a good life as working people. To shorten the payment plan to three years shortens the time in over-indebtedness and provides faster economic rehabilitation, which aligns with the plan's side in the conflict between the indebted and creditors. The basis is however derived.

• needs before payment capacitydecisive»Socialtjänstlagen ska tolkas extensivt. Behoven, inte betalningsförmågan ska vara avgörande« (party programme ↗)“The Social Services Act should be interpreted broadly. Needs, not payment capacity, should be decisive”
• security for the economically weak»Barn, sjuka och arbetslösa måste självklart ha samma rätt som arbetande människor att ha goda liv« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Children, the sick and unemployed must of course have the same right as working people to have good lives”
• regulation of creditors' power»Finanskapitalets makt måste brytas genom regleringar och ökad« (party programme ↗)“Financial capital's power must be broken through regulations and increased”

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 debt settlement's payment plan. The closest principle is to take sides with those who have less power and that economic policy should be conducted with respect for ordinary households' economy, together with the requirement for a basic economic protection. A shorter payment plan that speeds up economic rehabilitation is in that direction, but the conclusion is entirely derived.

• take sides with the powerlessdecisive»Socialdemokratins uppgift är att ta parti för den som har mindre makt.« (party programme ↗)“The Social Democrats' task is to take sides with those who have less power.”
• respect for households' economy»Den ekonomiska politiken behöver bedrivas med stor varsamhet och respekt för vanliga hushålls ekonomi.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Economic policy needs to be conducted with great care and respect for ordinary households' economy.”
• basic economic protection»Ett gott ekonomiskt skydd när den egna förvärvsinkomsten faller bort är grundläggande« (party programme ↗)“A good economic protection when one's own earned income falls away is basic”

The plan establishes that over-indebtedness must be counteracted and that everyone has the right to basic economic security, and that security systems should give people the courage to start over. A shorter payment plan that speeds up economic rehabilitation points in that direction. The plan says nothing about debt relief's formulation, so the position is derived.

• counteract over-indebtednessdecisive»Girighet, överskuldsättning och spekulation ska motverkas« (party programme ↗)“Greed, over-indebtedness and speculation must be counteracted”
• basic economic security»Alla har rätt till grundläggande ekonomisk« (party programme ↗)“Everyone has the right to basic economic”
• strong consumer protection»Vi vill ha ett starkt skydd« (party programme ↗)“We want strong protection”

The plan does not address debt relief. The closest principle is that security should provide individuals with support to redirect and return rather than get stuck in lifelong disadvantage, which speaks for a shorter payment plan and faster economic rehabilitation. The plan also emphasizes that too many people live with small margins and that people should be able to determine their own lives. The position is derived and uncertain.

• support to returndecisive»de fastnar i livslång utsatthet och som ger den enskilde stöd att ställa om och komma tillbaka.« (party programme ↗)“they get stuck in lifelong disadvantage and which gives individuals support to redirect and return.”
• a new chance in life»Den grundläggande tryggheten måste vara så heltäckande att ingen tillåts falla igenom skyddsnäten« (party programme ↗)“Basic security must be so comprehensive that no one is allowed to fall through the safety nets”
• households with small margins»Alltför många människor lever med små marginaler i dagens Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Too many people in today's Sweden live with small margins.”
• self-determination over one's own life»Alla ska kunna bestämma över sina egna liv genom egna och fria val.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone should be able to determine their own lives through their own and free choices.”

The plan demands that the rules for debt relief are changed so that over-indebted people get greater opportunity to become debt-free, which is precisely the purpose of a shorter payment plan. The plan also affirms that everyone has right to a basic economic standard and wants to give consumers debt advice. That shortening the time in over-indebtedness thereby is in line with the plan, even though the plan does not specify any number of years.

• easier to become debt-freedecisive»Reglerna för skuldsanering ska ändras så att överskuldsatta får större möjlighet att bli skuldfria.« (party programme ↗)“The rules for debt relief shall be changed so that over-indebted people get greater opportunity to become debt-free.”
• basic economic standard»Alla har rätt till en grundläggande ekonomisk standard.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone has right to a basic economic standard.”
• debt advice»Konsumenter ska ha tillgång till budget- och skuldrådgivning« (party programme ↗)“Consumers shall have access to budget and debt advice”

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 take a position on debt settlement payment plan length. Its nearest commitments are that social policy shall support individuals to self-support and that systems shall encourage people's own effort and counter benefit dependence. That speaks for a shorter period of over-indebtedness and faster economic rehabilitation. The conclusion is derived and uncertain.

• support for self-supportdecisive»Målet för socialpolitiken är att stödja gemenskaperna och de enskilda människorna till egen försörjning och god omvårdnad.« (party programme ↗)“The goal for social policy is to support communities and individual people to self-support and good care.”
• own effort encouraged»Skatte- och bidragssystemen måste utformas så att människors egen kraft och engagemang uppmuntras, och att bidragsberoende motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“Tax and benefit systems must be designed so that people's own effort and engagement are encouraged, and that benefit dependence is countered.”
• integrity and own responsibility»Hederlighet och personligt ansvarstagande är viktiga fundament.« (party programme ↗)“Integrity and personal responsibility-taking are important foundations.”
• secure upbringing environment»Barn har rätt till en trygg uppväxtmiljö.« (party programme ↗)“Children have the right to a secure upbringing environment.”

The plan does not address debt relief or payment plan length. The nearest principles are that market economy rests on individual ownership and freedom of contract, that the legal system shall uphold contracts and that the individual has personal responsibility for their choices. On these grounds the plan provides no support for as a main rule shortening the payment plan to three years at creditors' expense.

• freedom of contractdecisive»på enskilt ägande och avtalsfrihet« (party programme ↗)“on individual ownership and freedom of contract”
• contracts shall be upheld»För att lösa tvister, upprätthålla kontrakt« (party programme ↗)“To settle disputes, uphold contracts”
• personal responsibility for your choices»har ett personligt ansvar för dessa val« (party programme ↗)“has personal responsibility for these choices”

The plan does not address debt relief. The nearest lying principle is that a ruined private economy is an obstacle that should be removed and that economic security for individuals should increase, which speaks for a shorter payment plan that more quickly provides economic rehabilitation. The plan says nothing about the committee's reasons why the current order should remain.

• avoid ruined private economydecisive»Bäst förutsättningar för att snabbt komma tillbaka på arbetsmarknaden skapas inte genom de stora distraktioner som en raserad privatekonomi orsakar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The best conditions for quickly returning to the labour market are not created by the major distractions a ruined private economy causes.”
• economic security»Öka den ekonomiska tryggheten för löntagare« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase economic security for wage earners”
• prioritized social hardship»Att bekämpa hemlöshet är en prioriterad social fråga för Sverigedemokraterna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Combating homelessness is a prioritized social issue for the Sweden Democrats.”
