Act on fee for area cooperation

The plan makes security a public responsibility: society should act collectively and lawfully against crime, and the path to that goes through strong local communities, schools and full employment—not through fees on property owners that can be passed on to tenants already pressed by high rents. A new fee law for area cooperation shifts responsibility in the wrong direction. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's motion to reject.

• society's responsibility for securitydecisive»kunna agera samlat, effektivt och rättssäkert för att förhindra brott« (party programme ↗)“be able to act collectively, effectively and lawfully to prevent crime”
• prevention before mandates»välfungerande skolor, meningsfull fritid och full sysselsättning är« (party programme ↗)“well-functioning schools, meaningful leisure time and full employment are”
• counter rising housing costs»hyresgäster krävs på allt högre hyror« (2022 manifesto ↗)“tenants are being asked for ever higher rents”
• public justice system»Kriminaliteten behöver mötas både med ett fungerande och närvarande rättssystem som fler patrullerande poliser« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Crime needs to be met with both a functioning and present justice system and more patrolling police”

The plan states that society has a fundamental responsibility to ensure security and that the state's monopoly on violence is maintained; security is a public commitment, not something that should be financed through fees on property owners. Such a fee also risks being passed on to tenants, which goes against the plan's housing social line. The plan does not address area cooperation, which is why certainty is low.

• security is society's responsibilitydecisive»Samhället har ett grundläggande ansvar att säkra tryggheten i landet.« (party programme ↗)“Society has a fundamental responsibility to ensure security in the country.”
• state monopoly on violence»Statens våldsmonopol upprätthålls.« (party programme ↗)“The state's monopoly on violence is maintained.”
• secure neighbourhood for all»Rätt till trygg närmiljö för alla, prioritering av trygghetsskapande arbete.« (party programme ↗)“Right to a secure neighbourhood for all, prioritization of security-creating work.”
• protection against increased housing costs»Försvar för den kollektiva hyressättningsmodellen.« (party programme ↗)“Defense of the collective rent-setting model.”

The plan places the responsibility for safety on the public sector: the justice system should have sufficient resources and safe places are created through police presence and collaboration between the public sector and civil society. A fee law that places the cost of safety work on property owners, and indirectly on tenants, shifts this responsibility. The counter-proposal's requirement to reject the fee law is therefore consistent with the plan.

• public responsibility for safetydecisive»Trygga platser skapas inte bara genom polisnärvaro« (party programme ↗)“Safe places are not created only through police presence”
• resources to the justice system»Miljöpartiet vill att rättsväsendet ska ha tillräckliga resurser för att skydda utsatta« (party programme ↗)“The Green Party wants the justice system to have sufficient resources to protect vulnerable groups”
• more police»se fler och bättre betalda poliser för att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten och för att motverka parallellsamhällen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“see more and better-paid police to combat organized crime and to prevent parallel societies.”
• protect housing costs»Miljöpartiet vill återupprätta bostaden som en social rättighet.« (party programme ↗)“The Green Party wants to restore housing as a social right.”

The plan establishes that no tax increases that make housing more expensive should be supported and that property rights should be strengthened, which speaks against a new statutory fee imposed on property owners and ultimately on renters. The plan's path to neighborhood safety goes through more police and state presence, not through fees on individuals. The counter-proposal's demand for rejection therefore lies closest to the plan, although derived.

• no levies making housing more expensivedecisive»Det totala skattetrycket måste ner nästa mandatperiod. Vi kommer inte att medverka till några skattehöjningar som skadar jobben, det egna sparandet eller gör det dyrare att bo.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The overall tax burden must come down in the next term of office. We will not support any tax increases that harm jobs, personal savings or make housing more expensive.”
• protection against arbitrary levies»Brott mot äganderätten, med konfiskatoriska och godtyckliga beskattningar och ingrepp, underminerar förtroendet och långsiktigheten i samhället.« (party programme ↗)“Violations of property rights, through confiscatory and arbitrary taxation and interventions, undermine trust and long-term thinking in society.”
• safety through police presence»Fler poliser ska finnas närvarande i vardagen, både i utsatta områden och på landsbygden. Vi vill öka polistätheten till EU-snittet och öppna nedlagda polisstationer på nytt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More police should be present in everyday life, both in disadvantaged areas and in the countryside. We want to increase police presence to EU average levels and reopen closed police stations.”

The plan wants to build away vulnerability with safer neighborhoods where property owners and the public cooperate long-term, and sees increased safety as crucial for lifting vulnerable residential areas. A fee law that ensures all property owners who benefit from cooperation bear their share is a tool for exactly that. The counter-proposal wants to reject the law and thus lacks support in the plan.

• long-term property owner cooperationdecisive»Därför måste vi också bygga bort utsattheten med tryggare kvarter där fler kan äga sitt boende och där fastighetsägare och det offentliga samarbetar långsiktigt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Therefore, we must also build away vulnerability with safer neighborhoods where more can own their homes and where property owners and the public cooperate long-term.”
• safety lifts vulnerable areas»Ökad trygghet är en central fråga för att lyfta utsatta bostadsområden.« (party programme ↗)“Increased safety is a central issue for lifting vulnerable residential areas.”
• attractive public spaces»Attraktiva offentliga rum ökar känslan av trygghet.« (party programme ↗)“Attractive public spaces increase the sense of safety.”
• responsibility for the neighborhood»Så skapas positiva spiraler där fler tar ansvar för sitt närområde i stället för att flytta därifrån så fort möjligheten ges.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“This creates positive spirals where more take responsibility for their neighborhood instead of moving away as soon as the opportunity arises.”

The party programme wants planning to focus on building communities so that safety is promoted and crime is prevented, and that residents themselves take active part in their immediate environments. A law that allows property owners to share the cost of safety-creating cooperation serves this. The counter-proposal wants to reject the law and thus goes against the plan, even though the requirement for tax according to ability to pay and equal treatment qualify.

• safety-promoting community buildingdecisive»Planeringen bör också inriktas på att bygga och utforma samhällena så att trygghet främjas samtidigt som brott förebyggs och försvåras.« (party programme ↗)“Planning should also focus on building and designing communities so that safety is promoted while crime is prevented and made more difficult.”
• participation in the immediate environment»Ett samhällsbyggande utifrån en kristdemokratisk värdegrund innebär att planera för trygga och vackra miljöer där invånarna själva tar aktiv del i beslutsprocessen och känner sig delaktiga i skapandet av sina närmiljöer.« (party programme ↗)“Community building from a Christian democratic value basis means planning for safe and beautiful environments where residents themselves take active part in the decision process and feel involved in the creation of their immediate environments.”
• preventive before reactive»Det viktigaste sättet att bekämpa brottslighet är genom förebyggande insatser« (party programme ↗)“The most important way to combat crime is through preventive measures”
• tax according to ability to pay»Beskattningen av fastigheter får inte stå i konflikt med äganderätten eller med skatterättsliga principer som skatt efter bärkraft och likabehandlingsprincipen.« (party programme ↗)“Taxation of property shall not conflict with property rights or with tax law principles such as tax according to ability to pay and the equal treatment principle.”

The plan makes security the great freedom issue of our time and wants to invest in safe outdoor environments, while also emphasizing that insecurity in business threatens the country's entire prosperity. An arrangement where all property owners who benefit from safety-creating cooperation bear their fair share of the costs points in that direction. The counter-proposal's demand to reject the fee law therefore speaks against the plan's security line.

• safe outdoor environmentsdecisive»Satsa på trygga utemiljöer, där en viktig del är att lysa upp obelysta platser runtom i Sverige« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in safe outdoor environments, where an important part is to light up unlit places throughout Sweden”
• security as freedom issue»Tryggheten har blivit vår tids stora frihetsfråga.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Security has become the great freedom issue of our time.”
• insecurity threatens business»Den otrygghet som idag drabbar Sveriges näringsliv är inte bara ett oacceptabelt hot mot den enskilde företagaren – utan mot hela landets välstånd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The insecurity that today affects Swedish business is not only an unacceptable threat to the individual entrepreneur – but to the entire country's prosperity.”

The plan establishes that security is the state's most important task and that housing costs, conversely, need to be curbed, while new property charges are rejected. A statutory fee that places the cost of security-creating cooperation on property owners and, by extension, tenants goes against this. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demand to reject the fee law, although without addressing the question directly.

• the state's security responsibilitydecisive»garantera medborgarnas trygghet och säkerhet. Trygghet är en förutsättning för frihet.« (party programme ↗)“guarantee citizens' security and safety. Security is a condition for freedom.”
• reduced housing costs»Åtgärder behöver också vidtas för att bromsa de skenande boendekostnaderna så att fler har råd till ett hem.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Measures also need to be taken to curb runaway housing costs so that more people can afford a home.”
• no new property charges»Stoppa planerna på återinförande av fastighetsskatten« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop plans to reintroduce property tax”
• security in all residential areas»Öka tryggheten i hela Sverige och i alla bostadsområden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase security throughout Sweden and in all residential areas”

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.
