Other matters regarding state ownership and management of enterprises

The plan requires that welfare and services exist everywhere and that elderly care, schools and shops should exist in more small towns, and that regional policy is driven to reduce gaps. Publicly-owned companies shall be guided by public benefit. To clarify and strengthen the regional responsibility of state-owned companies therefore aligns with the plan.

The plan establishes that the state shall be present across the entire country and that it is a national responsibility to maintain conditions for growth across the entire country. That state risk capital and services are concentrated in metropolitan regions contradicts this. Therefore, the demand that the regional responsibility of state-owned companies is clarified and strengthened is supported.

• state presence across the entire countrydecisive»Staten ska finnas närvarande i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state shall be present across the entire country.”
• national responsibility for regional balance»Det är ett nationellt ansvar att upprätthålla grundläggande förutsättningar för tillväxt genom en väl utbyggd infrastruktur och en jämn spridning av kunskapscentra över hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“It is a national responsibility to maintain basic conditions for growth through well- built infrastructure and an even distribution of knowledge centres across the entire country.”

• even regional development»En jämn regional utveckling ger fler jobb, tar bättre tillvara landets olika tillgångar och medför att större resurser skapas för den gemensamma välfärden.« (party programme ↗)“Even regional development creates more jobs, makes better use of the country's various assets and means that greater resources are created for common welfare.”

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 party programme establishes that social functions shall be available across the entire country, that a functioning society is built on welfare and jobs throughout the country, and that society shall assist rural business owners with capital and credit guarantees. Clarifying and strengthening regional responsibility at state-owned enterprises follows from these commitments. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

The plan explicitly requires that state venture capital should reach the whole country and become more effective, and that public service should be close and reliable regardless of where you live. The counter-proposal's observation that state capital and service have concentrated in the metropolitan regions hits precisely what the plan wants to remedy. A clarified and strengthened regional responsibility with the state companies therefore follows from the plan.

• state venture capital throughout the countrydecisive»Därtill behöver det statliga riskkapitalet bli mer jämställt och nå hela landet, inte minst de utsatta områdena.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Furthermore, state venture capital needs to become more equitable and reach the whole country, especially vulnerable areas.”
• service throughout the country»Offentlig service ska vara nära och pålitlig i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Public service shall be close and reliable throughout the country.”
• more effective venture capital»Kapitalförsörjning är avgörande för många småföretag. Vi vill att det statliga riskkapitalet blir mer effektivt och att investeraravdraget breddas och fördjupas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Capital supply is crucial for many small enterprises. We want state venture capital to become more effective and broaden and deepen the investor deduction.”
• equal conditions wherever you live»Alla ska kunna leva och förverkliga sina drömmar oavsett var man vill bo.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone should be able to live and realise their dreams regardless of where they want to live.”

The plan requires that access to state services is secured throughout the country, that state authorities are present in all parts of Sweden and that postal services function everywhere. A concentration of state enterprises' services and venture capital to metropolitan regions contradicts this. The plan also wants conditions for enterprise and growth to be strengthened throughout the country.

• state presence throughout the countrydecisive»Vägnätet ska fungera och statliga myndigheter ska finnas närvarande i alla delar av Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The road network shall function and state authorities shall be present in all parts of Sweden.”

The counter-proposal suggests that state risk capital and services have been concentrated in major cities and wants to clarify and strengthen the state companies' regional responsibility. The election manifesto instead wants to bring services closer to people in the heartland, including through more state service offices and expanded operating support for village stores, and the party programme states state responsibility for state services being accessible throughout Sweden. The requirement therefore aligns with the plan.

• state service close to peopledecisive»Fler poliser med lokal närvaro, utbyggd primärvård, enklare starta lokal läkarmottagning och inrätta fler statliga servicekontor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More police with local presence, expanded primary care, easier to start local doctor's office and establish more state service offices.”
• state service across the country»den statliga servicen är tillgänglig i hela Sverige.« (party programme ↗)“state services are accessible throughout Sweden.”
• all of Sweden shall thrive»Målet är att hela Sverige ska leva och att varje kommun och region ska vara ett fungerande samhälle, där« (party programme ↗)“The goal is for all of Sweden to thrive and for each municipality and region to be a functioning society, where”
• service in rural areas»Rädda lanthandeln genom att bredda driftstödet till dagligvarubutiker.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Save the village store by expanding operating support to grocery shops.”

The plan does not address state enterprises' regional responsibility, but its line is that the state should do only what the state can do and prioritize away the rest; for state forest ownership the answer is rather selling to people with regional connection than new political tasks. Clarifying and strengthening a regional responsibility for state-owned enterprises therefore lies wrong in relation to the plan, and the requirement is rejected.

• the state's role limiteddecisive»Om något kan göras lika bra eller bättre av« (party programme ↗)“If something can be done just as well or better by”
• reduced state ownership»Sälja av en större andel av statliga Sveaskogs innehav till personer med regional anknytning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sell a larger share of state Sveaskog holdings to people with regional connection”
• prioritize core tasks»Politiken har en viktig uppgift att prioritera och välja bort,« (party programme ↗)“Politics has an important task to prioritize and choose to forgo,”

The counter-proposal argues that state risk capital and services have been concentrated to metropolitan regions and wants to clarify and strengthen state-owned companies' regional responsibility. The plan is based on all of Sweden shall live, that policy shall be conducted for the entire country and that authorities and state operations shall exist closer to smaller towns. Requiring clearer regional responsibility therefore aligns with the plan's direction.

• all of Sweden shall livedecisive»Principen om att hela Sverige skall leva är mycket viktig för Sverigedemokraterna.« (party programme ↗)“The principle that all of Sweden shall live is very important to Sweden Democrats.”
• state presence in rural areas»Sverigedemokraterna ser potential för att utlokalisera fler myndighetsjobb till mindre orter men det främsta verktyget för tillväxt och jobb på landsbygd är enklare regler och möjligheter för landsbygden att växa.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats see potential for relocating more government jobs to smaller towns, but the primary tool for growth and jobs in rural areas is simpler rules and opportunities for rural areas to grow.”
• policy for the entire country»Bedriva en politik för hela Sverige« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Conduct policy for the entire country”
• prosperity throughout the country»Låta hela landet få del av välstånd« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Let the entire country share in prosperity”
