Enforcement of removal and deportation decisions

The counter-proposal requires stated goals for return activities and more active agreements with third countries to increase the share who are deported. The plan's commitment is the opposite: the right to asylum can never be compromised, only permanent residence permits shall be issued and asylum policy shall rest on the conventions with individual procedurally secure examination. The plan also wants aid to be solidary, which speaks against using it as leverage against other countries.

• asylum right inviolabledecisive»Rätten att söka asyl kan aldrig tummas på, vi kräver att endast permanenta uppehållstillstånd ska utfärdas vid beviljad asyl.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The right to seek asylum can never be compromised, we require that only permanent residence permits shall be issued when asylum is granted.”
• asylum policy according to conventions»Vi vill se en asylpolitik grundad i respekt för« (party programme ↗)“We want to see an asylum policy based on respect for”
• procedurally secure and dignified examination»sin rätt till en individuell och rättssäker prövning under värdiga« (party programme ↗)“their right to individual and procedurally secure examination under dignified”
• solidary aid without conditions»solidariskt bistånd och rättvisa handelsvillkor.« (party programme ↗)“solidary aid and fair trade terms.”

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 election manifesto establishes that the tightened migration policy stands firm and the party programme talks about a generous but regulated immigration, which presupposes that rejection and deportation decisions are actually enforced. Clear targets for return and established cooperation with third countries, rather than conditioning aid, are in line with the plan's aid outlook and with its desire for more international cooperation. The forms for return work are, however, not mentioned in the documents.

• tightened migration policydecisive»Vi har stramat åt migrationspolitiken, och denna linje ligger fast« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We have tightened migration policy, and this line stands firm”
• regulated immigration»Vi vill ha en generös och reglerad invandring« (party programme ↗)“We want generous and regulated immigration”
• aid's own purposes»Svenskt bistånd ska tydligare bidra till att förhindra att människor tvingas på flykt« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Swedish aid shall more clearly contribute to preventing people being forced to flee”
• more international cooperation»Vi vill se fler och intensifierande internationella samarbeten mot smuggling av bland annat vapen och narkotika« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see more and intensifying international cooperation against smuggling of, among other things, weapons and drugs”

The party programme states that forced removals shall be used extremely restrictively and that those who have been rejected in the first instance shall be helped to return voluntarily and not be held in detention. The election manifesto prohibits aid from being conditional on Sweden's domestic political interests. Sharper return targets and aid-conditioned third-country cooperation therefore conflict with the plan.

• restrictive forced removalsdecisive»Tvångsavvisningar ska användas oerhört restriktivt.« (party programme ↗)“Forced removals shall be used extremely restrictively.”
• voluntary return over coercion»inte hållas i förvar, utan i första hand få hjälp att« (party programme ↗)“not be held in detention, but rather be helped to”
• aid shall not be conditional»att biståndet ska styras av principer om effektivitet och fattigdomsbekämpning och inte villkoras mot Sveriges inrikespolitiska intressen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that aid shall be guided by principles of efficiency and poverty reduction and not be conditional on Sweden's domestic political interests.”
• defended right to asylum»försvara asylrätten och kvotflyktingsystemet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“defend the right to asylum and the quota refugee system.”

The plan does not address return activities or how deportation decisions are enforced. The nearest principles are that processing times for administrative proceedings shall be shortened and that Sweden shall work for stronger international agreements and cooperation with other countries, which argues for clear targets and liaison officers in place. The conclusion is therefore derived from general principles and uncertain.

• efficient administrationdecisive»Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Processing times and administrative proceedings in courts and agencies must be shortened and access to counsel improved.”
• international agreements»verka för starkare internationella överenskommelser när det gäller flyktingmottagandet.« (party programme ↗)“work for stronger international agreements on refugee reception.”
• cooperation with other countries»Samarbetsorganisationer som FN och EU, handelsavtal och bistånd, kan knyta länder närmare varandra« (party programme ↗)“Collaborative organizations such as the UN and EU, trade agreements and aid can bring countries closer together”
• generous and humane 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 election manifesto establishes that those who lack asylum grounds shall leave the country and explicitly requires that countries that receive Swedish aid also receive their own citizens, and that more people waiting for expulsion shall be held in detention. The counter-proposal's requirements for clear goals for return, more active cooperation with third countries and liaison persons serve the same purpose. Liaison persons are not mentioned, but the direction in the plan is unambiguous.

• effective returndecisive»Asylrätten ska värnas där den med asylskäl ska stanna och den utan skäl lämnar landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The right to asylum shall be protected where those with asylum grounds shall stay and those without grounds leave the country.”
• readmission requirements towards donor countries»Vi ska kräva att länder som tar emot svenskt bistånd också tar emot egna medborgare som dömts för brott i Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall require that countries that receive Swedish aid also receive their own citizens convicted of crimes in Sweden.”
• more in detention»Fler som väntar på både utvisning och avvisning ska hållas i förvar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More people waiting for both expulsion and refusal of entry shall be held in detention.”
• legally secure asylum policy»EU:s asylpolitik ska vara human och rättssäker och i linje med internationella konventioner.« (party programme ↗)“EU's asylum policy shall be humane and legally secure and in line with international conventions.”

The election manifesto requires strict migration policy, and the plan establishes that decided legal rules shall be consistently maintained. A return that actually works - with clear targets, active cooperation with third countries and liaison officers on the ground - is a direct application of both commitments. The plan also highlights cooperation with other states and early support for voluntary return as the way forward.

• 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.”
• decided rules shall be maintained»måste konsekvent upprätthålla de rättsregler som beslutats« (party programme ↗)“must consistently maintain the legal rules that have been decided”
• support for voluntary return»Det är viktigt att seriös och tidig information ges om möjligheterna till stöd vid frivillig återvandring.« (party programme ↗)“It is important that serious and early information is provided about opportunities for support in voluntary return.”
• cooperation with other states»flyktingpolitik genom att samarbeta med andra stater.« (party programme ↗)“refugee policy through cooperation with other states.”

The plan states that it is of utmost importance that the person who received a rejection leaves the country as soon as possible and commits itself to greatly increasing the number of deportations through more readmission agreements with third countries. The counter-proposal's demands for clear goals for return, more active cooperation with third countries and liaison officers on the ground are the same thing in substance. The plan motivates this with the risk of a growing shadow society.

• more readmission agreementsdecisive»Kraftigt öka antalet utvisningar genom fler EU-gemensamma återtagandeavtal« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Greatly increase the number of deportations through more EU joint readmission agreements”
• effective return»Av största vikt är att den som fått ett nej på asylansökan så fort som möjligt lämnar landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Of utmost importance is that the person who received a no on their asylum application leaves the country as soon as possible.”
• prevent shadow society»Vi riskerar annars ett växande skuggsamhälle, med social utsatthet, illegalt arbete och brottslighet – där särskilt barn drabbas hårt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We otherwise risk a growing shadow society, with social vulnerability, illegal work and crime - where children in particular are hit hard.”
• no track switching after rejection»Avskaffa möjligheten till spårbyte, det vill säga möjligheten för en person som fått avslag på sin asylansökan att i stället få ett arbetstillstånd« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish the possibility of track switching, i.e. the possibility for a person who was rejected on their asylum application instead to get a work permit”

The plan explicitly commits to using diplomatic pressure and incentives to facilitate return and to build international cooperation with countries where return functions poorly. The benchmark is that more should return than are granted asylum. Clear targets for return activities and liaison officers in place in third countries are precisely such tools the plan seeks.
