The election manifesto states that the railway is neglected with weak subgrades and explicitly requires that road and rail networks are upgraded and that maintenance is improved, with funds redirected from new prestige railway projects. The counter-proposal's demand for raised ambitions and increased resources to clear the maintenance backlog is precisely that commitment. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Rusta upp väg- och järnvägsnätet i hela landet« — upgraded rail network“Upgrade road and rail networks throughout the country”

The plan explicitly states that property tax from industrial and power generation facilities should remain at the regional level and wants to regionalize it. The counter-proposal's demand that property tax from wind power plants is returned directly instead of being distributed through the state budget is exactly this commitment. The plan also criticizes that revenues from raw material extraction and industry rarely reach local communities.

»Den fastighetsskatt som tas ut från industri- och elproduktionsanläggningar vill vi ska stanna på regional nivå.« — property tax remains regional“The property tax collected from industrial and power generation facilities we want to remain at the regional level.”

The plan states that Swedish employees' position must never be sacrificed as a concession to the EU and that Swedish control over the labour market model must be secured. The counter-proposal's objection to the common company rules, with demands that insolvency rules be deleted and national labour market models be protected, follows directly from this. The plan also wants to stop power transfers to the EU and restore intergovernmental relations.

»Svenska löntagares ställning ska aldrig offras som eftergift till EU.« — Swedish model before EU“Swedish employees' position shall never be sacrificed as a concession to the EU.”

The plan explicitly states that Sweden should work for clear sanctions against Russia and other countries with negative development. The counter-proposal's demands for tightened enforcement of sanctions, harsher penalties for evasion and measures against shadow fleets are a direct application of that commitment. The plan also wants to strengthen Sweden for the deteriorated security situation and reduce dependence on energy imports.

»Sverige bör verka för tydliga sanktioner mot Turkiet, Belarus, Ryssland och andra länder med en negativ utveckling.« — sanctions against Russia“Sweden should work for clear sanctions against Turkey, Belarus, Russia and other countries with negative development.”

The plan establishes that sound public finances and respect for the fiscal policy framework are a fundamental prerequisite for welfare. The counter-proposal's demand for an immediate return to the framework's principles, following an independent review showing deviations and lack of transparency, is a direct application of that commitment. The plan furthermore requires accountability when the management of public resources falls short.

»Sunda statsfinanser och respekt för det finanspolitiska ramverket är grundförutsättningar för att långsiktigt kunna bevara en hög nivå av välfärd.« — respect for the fiscal policy framework“Sound public finances and respect for the fiscal policy framework are fundamental prerequisites for being able to long-term maintain a high level of welfare.”

The plan explicitly identifies food fraud as a problem that farmers face and requires increased measures against it, while crime affecting business owners should be combated and fraud prevented. The counter-proposal's demands for swiftly sharpened and effective sanctions, including a sanctions fee, directly respond to this commitment. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's cause.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill därtill skapa förutsättningar för innovation och teknikutveckling och öka åtgärderna mot de problem som lantbrukare drabbas av, som t.ex. stora vildsvinsstammar och livsmedelsbedrägerier.« — measures against food fraud“Sweden Democrats further want to create conditions for innovation and technology development and increase measures against the problems farmers face, such as large wild boar populations and food fraud.”

The plan explicitly demands that the status of cash as a means of payment in Sweden be defended, and justifies it by society's vulnerability to disruptions in electronic systems and payment services. The counter-proposal's demands for broader legislation that ensures cash access throughout the country and links cash handling to total defence follow directly from this commitment. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's case.

»Försvara kontanternas ställning som betalmedel i Sverige« — cash's status“Defend the status of cash as a means of payment in Sweden”

Open the case →

The plan requires that all have access to functioning postal services and telephony throughout the country, wants to relocate more government jobs to smaller towns and defend cash's position as a means of payment. The counter-proposal's demands for preserved postal service, government jobs outside major cities, reopened service centers and support for local banking operations directly answer these commitments. The principle that all of Sweden shall live carries this position.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill satsa på utbyggnaden av bredband samt säkerställa att alla har tillgång till telefoni och fungerande posttjänster, inklusive möjligheten att få sin myndighetspost digitalt.« — postal services throughout the country“Sweden Democrats want to invest in broadband expansion and ensure that all have access to telephony and functioning postal services, including the opportunity to receive government mail digitally.”

The plan states that the police shall be visible and accessible throughout the country and at all times of day, and that the goal should be that all who need police quickly get help. The counter-proposal's requirement to stop further closures of police stations and to an investigated, regulated response time directly responds to these commitments. The plan also requires that the police are present near the population throughout Sweden and that all crimes are investigated.

»Målet bör vara att alla som är i behov av polis snabbt ska kunna få polisens hjälp.« — swift police assistance“The goal should be that everyone in need of police can quickly get police assistance.”

The plan states that measures that should have been directed against illegal weapons and gang crime instead were directed against legal gun ownership, Swedish hunters, and sport shooters, and points out magazine regulations as an example of measures that complicate legal gun ownership. The counter-proposal rejects precisely a ban on certain semi-automatic hunting weapons with the argument that legal weapons are rarely used in crime. The plan's commitment to protect the right to own hunting weapons thus supports the counter-proposal's demand.

»Stoppa hetsjakten på jägare och legala vapeninnehavare« — protected legal gun ownership“Stop the witch-hunt against hunters and legal gun owners”

The plan explicitly highlights investments in primary care with greater patient contact and a patient-responsible physician as a way to faster care and less pressured emergency care. The counter-proposal's requirement that continuity of physician contact be prioritized higher is the same commitment in substance. The plan also requires that care be reliable and accessible throughout all stages of life.

»Satsningar på primärvården med större patientkontakt och samordning av en patientansvarig läkare kan avlasta akut- och specialistvården genom snabbare vård.« — patient-responsible physician“Investments in primary care with greater patient contact and coordination of a patient-responsible physician can relieve emergency and specialist care through faster care.”

The plan explicitly points to long queues at child psychiatry as a problem to be countered and demands strengthened resources to psychiatry as well as abolished healthcare queues through a proper healthcare guarantee. It also requires that care be good and accessible throughout the country, which supports the counter-proposal's demand for more equitable cancer care. The counter-proposal's demand thereby aligns with the plan's commitments in the healthcare field.

»Långa köer till BUP kan motverkas om behandlingskompetens i högsta utsträckning kan finnas tillgänglig på plats i våra skolor.« — shorter queues at child psychiatry“Long queues at child psychiatry can be countered if treatment competence to the greatest extent can be available on site in our schools.”

The plan explicitly requires that access to welfare and social insurance be tied to work, language learning and citizenship, and that the threshold to tax-financed welfare be raised. The counter-proposal's demand that newly arrived persons work their way into the social insurance system is precisely this commitment. The plan also carries the other part, since it wishes to increase support for those who because of illness or functional limitation cannot work.

»Utforma en kravbaserad integrationspolitik som ger rättigheter till välfärden i takt med språkinlärning, arbete och slutligen medborgarskap« — requirement-based qualification for welfare“Establish a requirement-based integration policy that provides rights to welfare in pace with language learning, work and finally citizenship.”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly requires that the rules within sickness benefit become more flexible and adapted to the individual's needs and abilities, and that flexibility and individual adaptation in decision-making increase. The counter-proposal's demand for more flexible benefit levels for gradual return to work is the same thing in substance. The plan also emphasizes rehabilitation and early intervention.

»Regelverket måste därför bli mer flexibelt och anpassas efter individens behov och möjligheter både inom sjukpenning samt sjuk och aktivitetsersättningen.« — more flexible sickness benefit rules“The regulations must therefore become more flexible and adapted to the individual's needs and abilities both within sickness benefit and sick and activity compensation.”

The plan explicitly commits to streamlining and increasing predictability in licensing processes for power grid expansion and criticizes the slow work on expanding transmission capacity. It also wants to secure access to reliable and cheap electricity through nuclear power, which requires network capacity for existing nuclear power. The requirement to review compensation for land intrusion is supported by the plan's commitment to strengthen property rights.

»Effektivisera och öka förutsägbarheten i tillståndsprocesserna för gruvnäring, elnätsutbyggnad och industri« — faster permits for power grids“Streamline and increase predictability in licensing processes for mining, power grid expansion and industry”

The plan explicitly establishes that the police authority should be streamlined to combat crime and that work tasks that can be performed by other staff should be removed from police officers. The counter-proposal's requirement that transport and custody of intoxicated and mentally ill persons to a greater extent should be handled by other principals is the same thing in substance. The plan also wants to give the police conditions to combat crime.

»I den mån det går att överlåta administrativa arbetsuppgifter till civil personal bör det göras i högre grad, samtidigt som polismyndigheten bör renodlas till att bekämpa brottsligheten och finnas nära medborgarna.« — streamlined police mandate“To the extent possible to transfer administrative work tasks to civil staff should be done to a greater extent, while the police authority should be streamlined to combat crime and be close to citizens.”

The plan commits to regulatory simplification and to easing small businesses' administrative burden, and requires that unnecessary rules are removed where the cost to businesses does not match the benefit. At the same time, it establishes that every Swedish workplace should have a fully adequate workplace health and safety programme. Targeted efforts for smaller businesses and size-adapted requirements are precisely that combination.

»Verka för regelförenkling och avlasta småföretagens administrativa börda« — regulatory simplification for small businesses“Work for regulatory simplification and relieve small businesses' administrative burden”

The plan explicitly requires strict restrictions and detention for security threats present in Sweden and that security threats shall be monitored and deported. To prioritize the work of detecting individuals who may pose a risk to the nation's security, including among asylum seekers, is a direct application of that commitment, in line with the plan's requirement for more controls in the migration field.

»Införa hårda restriktioner och förvar för säkerhetshot som befinner sig i Sverige.« — harsh measures against security threats“Introduce strict restrictions and detention for security threats present in Sweden.”

The plan explicitly points out that clans, organized crime and Islamists infiltrating public bodies is a growing threat to the democratic model and wants to counteract the power of clans within the public sector. It also wants to strengthen accountability when handling of public resources fails and counteract systems that encourage corruption. The counter-proposal's demand for particular support and guidance to municipalities and regions against corruption and infiltration therefore follows from the plan.

»Att klaner, organiserad brottslighet och islamister infiltrerar samhällsorgan är ett växande hot mot den demokratiska modellen.« — counteract infiltration of public bodies“That clans, organized crime and Islamists infiltrate public bodies is a growing threat to the democratic model.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires that the education system to a greater extent is adapted to labour market needs and that all should have the foundation for an occupation that is in demand, among other things through two-year practical secondary education programmes. The counter-proposal's demand for active monitoring of the sizing and better matching is the same thing. That the state directs schools more clearly is moreover supported by the party programme's line on state ownership.

»Utbildningsväsendet och integrationsprogram måste också i högre grad anpassas efter arbetsmarknadens behov.« — sizing according to labour market“The education system and integration programmes must also to a greater extent be adapted to labour market needs.”

The plan requires zero tolerance for crime so that even less serious crimes are investigated and prosecuted, and that sentence reductions for those who have committed multiple crimes be removed. The counter-proposal's requirement that repeated minor thefts seen in their context shall be assessed as theft of ordinary degree is exactly such a sharpening against habitual multiple crime. The plan moreover particularly highlights the vulnerability of retail to thefts.

»Införa nolltolerans mot brott så att även mindre allvarliga brott utreds och lagförs« — zero tolerance for less serious crime“Introduce zero tolerance for crime so that even less serious crimes are investigated and prosecuted.”

The plan explicitly commits to working for regulatory simplification and reducing small businesses' administrative burden and to removing unnecessary rules where the cost to businesses does not match social benefit. It also notes that regulatory burden despite many years of ambition has remained or increased, which speaks for more vigorous and coherent work. The counter-proposal's demands for removal of outdated rules, minimal transposition of EU rules and adaptation to small businesses' conditions follow directly from these commitments.

»Verka för regelförenkling och avlasta småföretagens administrativa börda« — regulatory simplification for small business“Work for regulatory simplification and reduce small businesses' administrative burden”

The plan directly points out that governance through 21 regions creates shortages in competence supply and wants to review how the state can to a greater extent take over main responsibility for healthcare. It also requires even and good care throughout the country without regional imbalances and education according to actual needs. The counter-proposal's demand for expanded state responsibility and national coordination and dimensioning of healthcare education therefore follows directly from the plan.

»Huvudproblemet handlar i betydande utsträckning om att styrningen via 21 olika regioner skapar otydlighet, målkonflikter, successivt ökande administration och brister i kompetensförsörjningen.« — regional fragmentation causes competence shortage“The main problem is to a significant extent that governance through 21 different regions creates unclear objectives, goal conflicts, gradually increasing administration and shortages in competence supply.”

The plan explicitly states that everyone shall have access to functioning postal services including the possibility to receive government mail digitally. The counter-proposal's demands that authorities, municipalities and regions send mail digitally to those who have digital mailbox realises precisely this. The demand is also supported by the plan's commitment to scale back unnecessary public expenditure and keep bureaucracy at a minimum.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill satsa på utbyggnaden av bredband samt säkerställa att alla har tillgång till telefoni och fungerande posttjänster, inklusive möjligheten att få sin myndighetspost digitalt.« — digital government mail“Sweden Democrats want to invest in the expansion of broadband and ensure that everyone has access to telephony and functioning postal services, including the possibility to receive government mail digitally.”

The election manifesto states that all shall be given access to sports regardless of gender, age or cultural background and that society to a greater extent should meet the need for facilities and promote civil society. The counter-proposal's demand for more initiatives so that all children and young people get access to sports, culture and civil society directly responds to this. The plan also sees sports as a cheap way to strengthen public health and cohesion.

»Ge alla tillgång till idrott oavsett kön, ålder eller kulturell bakgrund« — sports for all children“Give all access to sports regardless of gender, age or cultural background”

The election manifesto explicitly wants to enable restrictions on freedom of movement and that perpetrators can be subject to prohibitions against staying in the place where the crime was committed or near the victim. The counter-proposal's demand to investigate geographical residence zone restrictions in case of extra-high threat is precisely that measure. The plan also generally wants to improve possibilities for contact bans and put the victim's security first.

»Gärningsmän som begått grova brott bör i högre grad bevakas efter avtjänat brott och beläggas med förbud att återvända till den ort där brottet begått eller i närhet till brottsoffret« — residence prohibitions for perpetrators“Perpetrators who have committed serious crimes should to a higher degree be monitored after serving their sentence and be subject to prohibitions against returning to the place where the crime was committed or in proximity to the victim”

The election manifesto explicitly promises that all pregnant women shall be guaranteed ten days of maternity benefit beyond the current means-tested benefit, that is, precisely non-means-tested compensation at the end of pregnancy. The counter-proposal's demand thus coincides with the plan's commitment to generous maternity benefit. The demand for a raised ceiling also follows the plan's line on a family-friendly and secure parental insurance.

»Vi vill att samtliga gravida ska garanteras 10 dagars graviditetspenning utöver nuvarande behovsprövade graviditetspenning.« — non-means-tested maternity benefit“We want all pregnant women to be guaranteed 10 days of maternity benefit beyond current means-tested maternity benefit.”

The election manifesto wishes to preserve regional airports and give them the status of emergency airfields precisely so that their service gets a secured future. The counter-proposal's requirements for long-term sustainable operating conditions, economic guarantees and funded air traffic control are the same thing in practical form. The plan furthermore emphasizes domestic aviation as central for business and contacts throughout the country.

»Alla regionala flygplatser behöver få status som beredskapsflygplatser, så att den service dessa flygplatser tillhandahåller samhället i stort får en säkrad framtid.« — secured operation of regional airports“All regional airports need to get the status of emergency airfields, so that the service these airports provide to society as a whole gets a secured future.”

The counter-proposal wants to investigate regional resource centres that bring together work against men's violence against women, including honour-related violence and human trafficking. The election manifesto explicitly commits to coordinating efforts against honour oppression, establishing an action plan for those subjected to violence in close relationships and strengthening society's efforts for girls in honour environments. A coordinating regional structure is precisely such coordination.

»Samordna insatserna mot hedersförtryck« — coordinated efforts against honour oppression“Coordinate efforts against honour oppression”

The counter-proposal wants to follow up the regulations against invasive alien species, strengthen border control support and develop protection of the marine environment. The election manifesto explicitly establishes that more must be done to prevent and solve problems with invasive plant and animal species and that the marine environment should be prioritised. The demand is therefore directly in the plan's commitment.

»Mer måste göras för att förebygga och lösa problemen med invasiva växt- och djurarter.« — increased ambition against invasive species“More must be done to prevent and solve problems with invasive plant and animal species.”

The counter-proposal wishes the government to counter flag-switching and develop a strategy for more Swedish-flagged vessels, citing competitiveness and total defence. The election manifesto explicitly commits to strengthening Swedish shipping precisely to secure jobs and training opportunities and because shipping is part of total defence. The demand thus corresponds to the plan's own stance.

»Vi behöver även stärka den svenska sjöfarten för att säkra arbets- och utbildningstillfällen men inte minst för att sjöfarten är en del av totalförsvaret.« — Swedish-flagged shipping for total defence“We also need to strengthen Swedish shipping to secure jobs and training opportunities, but not least because shipping is part of total defence.”

The counter-proposal wants to review dog breeding, strengthen supervision and expand registration and checks against dog smuggling. The election manifesto explicitly raises the smuggling of puppies as a growing problem and promises that customs and veterinarians shall be given more tools and that sellers shall be identified to facilitate prosecution. The requirement is therefore the plan's own stance.

»Tull och veterinärer ska ges fler verktyg för att komma tillrätta med problemet med valpsmuggling.« — more tools against puppy smuggling“Customs and veterinarians shall be given more tools to address the problem of puppy smuggling.”

Open the case →

The counter-proposal wants to extend the planning horizon for supply preparedness and raise the self-sufficiency rate for socially vital goods, and strengthen military protection of sea lanes and ports. The election manifesto explicitly demands increased self-sufficiency for critical goods and that emergency stockpiles are dimensioned for the entire population's needs over the time period that is plausible in a severe crisis. Shipping is also pointed out as part of total defence.

»De bör vara dimensionerade för att täcka hela den svenska befolkningens potentiella behov över sådan tidsutdräkt som är plausibel i en svår kris.« — stockpiles for the entire crisis duration“They should be dimensioned to cover the entire Swedish population's potential needs over such time period as is plausible in a severe crisis.”

The counter-proposal wants to increase school staff's competence regarding mental health problems in children and young people and make school a prioritized arena for early interventions. The election manifesto explicitly says that all school staff with student contact should through training have a basic understanding of mental health problems and be able to involve student health services early. The requirement thus coincides with the plan's commitment.

»All skolpersonal med elevkontakt ska genom utbildningsinsatser ha en grundläggande förståelse för psykisk ohälsa för att kunna koppla in elevhälsan i ett tidigt skede.« — competence in mental health“All school staff with student contact should through training have a basic understanding of mental health problems to be able to involve student health services at an early stage.”

The counter-proposal seeks to secure the supply of innovation-critical metals and minerals and reduce import dependency through own sustainable extraction. The election manifesto explicitly states that it shall become easier and faster to open mines for the minerals needed, that licensing processes for mining shall be streamlined and that Sweden's self-sufficiency degree of critical goods shall increase. It bears the requirement directly.

»Det behöver också bli enklare och gå snabbare att öppna gruvor för de mineraler som behövs för exempelvis tillverkning av batterier.« — facilitate mineral extraction“It also needs to become easier and go faster to open mines for the minerals needed, for example for the manufacture of batteries.”

The counter-proposal requires that work permits can only be issued when no suitable person is found in the country, assessed through a labour market test. The election manifesto explicitly commits to introducing a real labour market test to prevent employers importing cheap labour for low-skilled occupations, and the party programme states that labour market needs shall be met primarily with domestic labour. The demand is therefore the plan's own position.

»För arbetstillstånd behöver Sverige införa en riktig arbetsmarknadsprövning för att förhindra att arbetsgivare importerar billig arbetskraft från fattiga länder för att utföra yrken som kräver liten eller ingen utbildning.« — real labour market test“For work permits, Sweden needs to introduce a real labour market test to prevent employers from importing cheap labour from poor countries to perform occupations that require little or no education.”

The election manifesto promises to significantly strengthen student health and points out the school as the most important arena to detect mental ill-health early, with strengthened counselling care. The counter-proposal's demand that mental health becomes a natural part of health checks and that all students have access to counsellor and psychologist is the same commitment in substance. The plan provides no support for waiting for ongoing preparation.

»Kraftigt förstärka elevhälsan« — strengthened student health“Significantly strengthen student health”

The counter-proposal wants to strengthen the domestic defence industry through more submarines, easier direct procurement from Swedish suppliers, export support and a memorandum of understanding with Finland. The election manifesto explicitly commits to strengthening Swedish defence industry through investments in domestic defence technology and to more clearly valuing Swedish suppliers' strategic interest in materiel procurement, and to working for a defence alliance with Finland. The demands thus coincide with the plan.

»Svensk försvarsindustri ska också stärkas genom att fortsatt satsa på inhemsk försvarsteknologi och att tydligare värdera det strategiska intresset av svenska leverantörer vid inköp av försvarsmateriel.« — domestic defence industry strengthened“Swedish defence industry shall also be strengthened by continuing to invest in domestic defence technology and by more clearly valuing the strategic interest of Swedish suppliers in defence materiel procurement.”

The counter-proposal points out that total defence shall have such strength and durability that it acts as a deterrent, and that society's fundamental resilience contributes to the same effect. The election manifesto formulates exactly this goal: a war-deterrent defence capacity that can also assist society in crisis, and the party programme establishes that civil defence creates the preconditions for military defence. Balanced growth between military effectiveness and resilience follows directly from this.

»Målet är en krigsavhållande försvarsförmåga med kapacitet att möta främmande aggressioner, men som också kan bistå samhället i kris eller oro.« — war-deterrent defence capacity“The goal is a war-deterrent defence capacity with the ability to meet foreign aggression, but which can also assist society in crisis or unrest.”

The counter-proposal wants to review rules for special support so that students with neuropsychiatric disabilities get the support they are entitled to, while high-achieving students should be able to progress faster. The election manifesto prioritizes a working environment with study peace and individual help for students, and the party programme states that both high- and low-achieving students should be able to get support and stimulation. The demand thus corresponds to the plan's commitments.

»En arbetsmiljö som ger utrymme för studiero, arbetsglädje och individuell hjälp till elever ska prioriteras.« — individual help for students“A working environment that provides space for study peace, work joy and individual help for students should be prioritized.”

The counter-proposal wants more of the value from mining to remain in the communities where mining takes place. The election manifesto explicitly points out that income from raw material extraction and industry rarely reaches the local community and wants the property tax from industrial and electricity production facilities to remain at the regional level. The demand for local reinvestment is thus the plan's own line.

»Många är istället berättelserna om bostadsområden som snabbt förvandlats till det oigenkännbara, om hur intäkter från råvaruutvinning och industri sällan kommer lokalbygden till del och om hur de som har svårt att få sin egen vardag att gå ihop alltid är de som ska ta det största ansvaret för globala världsproblem.« — raw material income to the local community“Instead, there are many stories of residential areas that have rapidly become unrecognisable, about how income from raw material extraction and industry rarely reaches the local community and how those who struggle to make ends meet are always the ones who must take the greatest responsibility for global problems.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to establish a maximum limit for the number of children per adult in childcare and points out excessively large child groups as a serious problem. The counter-proposal's requirement for regulated group size and staff density is the same thing in substance. The party programme reinforces that child groups shall be as small as possible.

»Upprätta en maxgräns för antalet barn per vuxen« — maximum children per adult“Establish a maximum limit for the number of children per adult.”

The election manifesto explicitly states that preschool personnel should have the required pedagogical knowledge and opportunity for professional development, and that conditions for pedagogical activities should be improved. A preschool lift that allows personnel to develop professionally during work time is precisely such a measure. The plan provides no support for the view that existing obligations and state grants are already sufficient.

»Det är centralt att personalen har erforderliga pedagogiska kunskaper, kan agera professionellt och har möjlighet till fortbildning.« — professional development for preschool staff“It is central that personnel have the required pedagogical knowledge, can act professionally and have opportunity for professional development.”

The plan states that benefit levels within LSS have been progressively eroded and requires a long-term calculation model for the standard amount so that the adjustment better reflects wage and cost development. That is precisely what the counter-proposal demands when it points out that the hourly amount has been raised less than wage costs. The plan has also explicitly opposed savings requirements within LSS.

»En långsiktig beräkningsmodell av schablonbeloppet för assistansersättningen bör tas fram för att uppräkningen av ersättningen bättre ska spegla löne- och kostnadsutvecklingen.« — new indexation model for the standard amount“A long-term calculation model for the standard amount of assistance compensation should be developed so that the adjustment of compensation better reflects wage and cost development.”

The plan explicitly requires a maximum ratio of children per adult in childcare and identifies large groups of children and too few staff as one of its most serious problems. The counter-proposal's demands for a statutory ceiling on group size in after-school care and increased staff density directly address this commitment. The plan also wants the facilities to be designed for the right number of children and for staff working conditions to be improved.

»Upprätta en maxgräns för antalet barn per vuxen« — maximum ratio for child groups“Establish a maximum ratio of children per adult”

The plan explicitly requires that foreign financing of extremist religious communities and organizations should be prevented and states that Islamist extremism is financed through public funds and foreign donations. The counter-proposal's requirement that work on rules against foreign financing of religious communities be prioritized now is precisely this commitment.

The plan explicitly requires that all basic needs shall be assistance-based in full and not weighed against each other, which is exactly what the counter-proposal wants to investigate. The plan also wants state overall responsibility for personal assistance and points out that the divided governance has made assessments legally insecure, which supports that the state's takeover is implemented. Restoring the law's original intent first also lies in the plan.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill att samtliga grundläggande behov ska vara assistansgrundande i sin helhet och inte värderas eller ställas mot varandra.« — all basic needs assistance-based“Sweden Democrats want all basic needs to be assistance-based in full and not assessed or weighed against each other.”

The plan explicitly requires a new elderly care act that strengthens legal protection for good living conditions, because reasonable living conditions are not sufficient. The counter-proposal's demand to implement the proposals on an elderly care act, strengthen medical expertise and secure access to doctors and nurses directly addresses this and the plan's requirements for high staff density and national quality standards that must not be undercut.

»En ny äldreomsorgslag måste stärka lagstödet för goda levnadsvillkor då den nuvarande benämningen med skäliga levnadsvillkor inte duger.« — new elderly care act“A new elderly care act must strengthen legal protection for good living conditions since the current designation of reasonable living conditions is not sufficient.”

The plan states that independent cultural institutions' freedom from political interference shall be valued and that the public's economic control over contemporary culture shall be reduced. The counter-proposal's requirement that arm's length distance be valued and strengthened even within cultural cooperation is the same commitment. The plan also wants to strengthen every journalist's, artist's and citizen's right to express themselves freely and strengthen the constitutional protection for freedom of expression.

»Samtidigt ska oberoende kulturinstitutioners frihet från politiska pekpinnar värnas.« — culture's independence“At the same time, independent cultural institutions' freedom from political interference shall be valued.”

The plan explicitly says that the party sees potential in relocating more government jobs to smaller towns, which is the core of the counter-proposal's demand for a programme for new and relocation. The plan wants to conduct policy for all of Sweden and invest in public services throughout the country, which speaks against continued centralisation to Stockholm. Simultaneously the plan requires efficiency in the government structure, which sets a limit on how relocation should be implemented.

»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.« — relocate government jobs“Sweden Democrats see potential to relocate 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.”

The plan explicitly wants to invest greater resources in research on gentler stunning methods during slaughter, which is exactly what the counter-proposal requests. The plan justifies this by the fact that slaughter without proper stunning causes suffering, stress and anxiety in animals. It also generally wants to promote research on methods that reduce animal suffering.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill satsa större resurser på forskning om mer skonsamma bedövningsmetoder av grisar samt utökade resurser för kontroller på gårdar och slakterier.« — research on humane stunning“Sweden Democrats want to invest greater resources in research on gentler stunning methods for pigs and increased resources for controls on farms and slaughterhouses.”

The plan establishes that policy should be designed so that Swedish culture reaches all of Sweden, which is exactly what the counter-proposal demands when it wants cultural funds to be distributed to all and not just major cities. The plan wants to value, care for and showcase culture and distribute public cultural funds with greater citizen influence. Lowering barriers particularly for children and young people follows from the same commitment.

»Politiken bör utformas för att den svenska kulturen ska nå hela Sverige.« — culture throughout the country“Policy should be designed so that Swedish culture reaches all of Sweden.”

The plan explicitly states that the sea and water environment must be prioritized more clearly over too intensive fishing, which is precisely the balance the counter-proposal makes when it wants to pause large-scale fishing and permanently move the trawl boundary. The plan also wants to increase the pace of work to restore the Baltic Sea's marine environment and describes the situation in our waters as serious. The requirement for consultation with other countries follows the plan's line on international cooperation between Baltic countries.

»Vår havs- och vattenmiljö måste prioriteras tydligare framför ett allt för intensivt fiske och omfattande vindkraftsutbyggnad.« — sea environment before intensive fishing“Our sea and water environment must be prioritized more clearly before too intensive fishing and extensive wind power expansion.”

The plan requires that special legislation be drawn up for how a crisis organization shall coordinate society's efforts and how emergency measures can quickly be implemented, which is exactly the counter-proposal's demand for clearer and more regulated management with known mandates. The plan also wants to strengthen operational crisis management capacity at all levels, from the Prime Minister's Office to municipalities. That this should be linked to the reestablishment of total defence follows from the plan's goal to reestablish total defence.

»Särskild lagstiftning bör tas fram för hur en krisorganisation effektivt ska kunna samordna samhällets insatser vid en kris och hur undantagsåtgärder snabbt ska kunna sättas in av det allmänna.« — regulated crisis management“Special legislation should be drawn up for how a crisis organization can effectively coordinate society's efforts during a crisis and how emergency measures can quickly be implemented by the public sector.”

The plan's stated ambition is that Swedish standard for animal husbandry shall become standard across the whole of the EU, which is precisely what the counter-proposal requires when it wants to raise EU's common minimum requirements. The plan also wants to compensate farmers who maintain higher standard than the EU generally, and specifically points out compensation for dairy cows' outdoor grazing. That compensations shall not disadvantage countries with stricter rules follows directly from the plan's criticism of uncompensated Swedish special requirements.

»Sverigedemokraternas ambition är att svensk standard vad gäller djurhållning ska bli standard för hela EU.« — Swedish animal welfare standard in EU“Sweden Democrats' ambition is that Swedish standard regarding animal husbandry shall become standard for the whole of the EU.”

The plan explicitly states that the property tax from industrial and electricity production facilities should remain at regional level and has it as its own point. The counter-proposal's demand for a regionalized property tax so that producing municipalities and regions retain more of the value is thereby identical to the plan's commitment. The plan also regrets that revenues from raw material extraction and industry rarely reach the local community.

»Den fastighetsskatt som tas ut från industri- och elproduktionsanläggningar vill vi ska stanna på regional nivå.« — regionalized property tax“The property tax collected from industrial and electricity production facilities we want to remain at regional level.”

The plan explicitly wants to restore emergency supplies sized for the population's needs and increase self-sufficiency of among other things food. The counter-proposal's requirement to accelerate establishment of emergency supplies through a law on food preparedness is the same thing in substance. The plan also requires a special crisis legislation, which speaks for that the legislative path is the right tool.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill också återupprätta beredskapslager för att täcka kritiska behov som kan uppstå utifrån olika scenarier.« — restored emergency supplies“Sweden Democrats also want to restore emergency supplies to cover critical needs that can arise from various scenarios.”

The plan explicitly states that the countryside is falling behind in broadband expansion and that mobile coverage is also worse in sparsely populated areas, and commits to investing in the expansion of broadband and telephony throughout the country. The counter-proposal's demands for faster 5G expansion, targeted support for farming and smaller rural enterprises and better mobile coverage directly respond to this. The plan also wants to facilitate enterprise throughout the country.

»Sverigedemokraterna ser med oro på hur landsbygden halkar efter i bredbandsutbyggnaden, men även mobiltäckningen och postutdelningen är sämre i glesbygden.« — countryside's mobile coverage neglected“Sweden Democrats view with concern how the countryside is falling behind in broadband expansion, but mobile coverage and postal delivery are also worse in sparsely populated areas.”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly says that all should have access to functioning postal services and particularly points out that postal delivery is worse in rural areas. That is precisely what the counter-proposal demands: guaranteed postal service nationwide, in city and countryside. The plan's demand for strengthened crisis preparedness also supports the argument that postal service is part of society's preparedness.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill satsa på utbyggnaden av bredband samt säkerställa att alla har tillgång till telefoni och fungerande posttjänster, inklusive möjligheten att få sin myndighetspost digitalt.« — functioning postal services for all“The Sweden Democrats want to invest in broadband expansion and ensure that everyone has access to telephone and functioning postal services, including the possibility to receive official mail digitally.”

The plan has an explicit commitment to facilitate housing construction by simplifying and accelerating decision processes and reviewing the extensive regulations and requirements governing construction, as well as increasing housing construction. It also wants to review building standards and increase competition in the construction market. The counter-proposal's demands for prioritized regulatory simplifications in the Planning and Building Act to eliminate the housing shortage directly respond to these commitments.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill underlätta bostadsbyggande genom att förenkla och snabba på beslutsprocesser och se över de omfattande regelverk och krav som styr bostadsbyggande.« — simplified building regulations“Sweden Democrats want to facilitate housing construction by simplifying and accelerating decision processes and reviewing the extensive regulations and requirements governing housing construction.”

The plan explicitly takes a position requiring that shoreline protection rules be eased and that shoreline protection be reformed so that building near water be allowed to a greater extent, citing rural needs. The counter-proposal to abolish general shoreline protection and vest the power to designate protected areas in municipalities goes in the same substantive direction. The plan's view of municipal self-determination strengthens the conclusion.

»För att det ska bli verklighet behöver strandskyddsreglerna mildras.« — eased shoreline protection rules“For this to become reality, shoreline protection rules need to be eased.”

The plan has an explicit commitment that all citizens shall be offered dental care on the same terms as other care and that the public sector shall take the same responsibility for oral and dental health as for other health. A stepwise expanded high-cost protection starting with the elderly is precisely such a lowering of the barrier to dental care. The plan also emphasizes dignified ageing and good care even outside major cities, which also supports the targeted municipal support.

The plan contains an explicit commitment to raise the speed limit for A-tractors to 45 km/h, which is the core of the counter-proposal's demand for an equal speed limit for mopeds class I and A-tractors. The plan also emphasizes that young people with motor vehicles should be met with appreciation instead of police pursuit, which speaks to ordered rules regarding education and tuning rather than prohibition. Therefore, the plan supports the counter-proposal's demand.

»Höja hastighetsgränsen på A-traktorer till 45 km/h« — raised speed for A-tractors“Raise the speed limit for A-tractors to 45 km/h”

The plan explicitly establishes that Sweden needs a comprehensive and long-term plan against the growing mental health crisis and that individual, short-term investments are not enough. It also wants to appoint a national coordinator for suicide prevention, see standardized follow-up of those at risk of suicide and direct special initiatives towards groups that are affected harder than average. The counter-proposal's demands for a new multi-year, follow-up action plan with targeted interventions directly address these commitments.

»Sverige behöver en samlad och långsiktig plan för att hantera den växande psykiska ohälsan.« — comprehensive long-term plan“Sweden needs a comprehensive and long-term plan to handle the growing mental health crisis.”

The plan states that EU rules must become fewer and more flexible based on each member state's conditions and that regulation should be simplified whilst legal certainty is improved. It specifically points to EU agricultural policy as an administrative burden that makes it difficult for farms to be profitable. The counter-proposal's demands for reform of EU policy, review of regulatory flora and controls and better conditions in support provision directly respond to these commitments.

»EU-reglerna måste bli färre och mer flexibla utifrån varje medlemsstats unika landskap, tradition och standarder.« — fewer and more flexible EU rules“EU rules must become fewer and more flexible based on each member state's unique landscape, tradition and standards.”

The plan explicitly requires that Sweden's self-determination over forests be protected against the EU and states that forests shall be managed by member states themselves but that the Commission restricts this right. The counter-proposal's requirement for increased scope for national and regional adaptation of forestry rules is the same commitment. The plan furthermore wants EU rules to become fewer and more flexible based on each member state's circumstances.

The plan explicitly requires that the permit processes for industry and power grid expansion be streamlined and made more predictable, since profitable investments require a predictable process. The counter-proposal's requirements that modification permits become the main rule instead of a rarely granted suitability issue, and for clarity about the new environmental permit authority, directly address that commitment.

The plan explicitly requires a lowered age of criminal responsibility and that social services, schools and the justice system can intervene more firmly at an early stage against young people on the edges of gang environments. The counter-proposal's requirement for a lowering to 14 years for serious crimes is a lowering in the direction the plan indicates, albeit more limited. The plan provides no support for maintaining today's age limit.

»Sänka straffmyndighetsåldern« — lowered age of criminal responsibility“Lower the age of criminal responsibility”

The plan explicitly requires lowered taxes and charges for agriculture, including general payroll tax, to increase competitiveness and food self-sufficiency. The counter-proposal's requirement for halved employer contributions for the agricultural and food sector is the same commitment. The plan also generally wants to lower employer contributions for smaller businesses.

»Sänka skatten på diesel för jord- och skogsbruket och den allmänna löneavgiften« — lowered charges for agriculture“Lower the tax on diesel for agriculture and forestry and the general payroll tax”

The party programme establishes that the government should never make decisions about new cost-driving commitments for municipalities without fully compensating them. The counter-proposal's requirement for an in-depth analysis of the Cyber Security Act's economic consequences for municipalities and regions with secured financing is a direct application of that financing principle. The plan moreover wants emergency appropriations to increase and every public investment to report clear results.

»kostnadsdrivande åtaganden för kommunerna utan att fullt ut kompensera dem för« — municipal financing principle“cost-driving commitments for municipalities without fully compensating them for.”

The plan explicitly points out that governance aimed at reducing the number receiving sickness benefits has led to unsustainable denials of benefits, and requires a secure and legally sound sickness insurance with increased focus on rehabilitation and return to work. The counter-proposal's demand for a needs-based goal of economic security and effective support for return to work is precisely that reorientation. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demands.

»Detta tillsammans med en styrning från regeringen som fokuserat på att spara på kostnader genom få ner antalet med sjukpenning har lett ohållbara utförsäkringar.« — criticism of sickness rate management“This together with government governance that has focused on saving costs by reducing the number receiving sickness benefits has led to unsustainable denials of benefits.”

The election manifesto explicitly establishes that all citizens shall be offered dental care on the same terms as other care and that the state shall take the same responsibility for oral and dental health as for other health. The counter-proposal's demand to bring dental care into the high-cost protection for healthcare is precisely that commitment put into practice. A gradually expanded special compensation system does not fulfil the same-terms principle.

»Att alla medborgare ska erbjudas tandvård på samma villkor som annan vård« — dental care on the same terms“That all citizens shall be offered dental care on the same terms as other care”

The plan explicitly wishes to strengthen the Lagråd's position and investigate how this can be done, and increase elements of separation of powers and norm review in the Constitution. The counter-proposal's demands for an investigation into how the Lagråd's role can be strengthened in crisis rule-making without prior authorization is the same commitment applied to exceptional cases. The plan's rule-of-law line speaks for a preliminary review of proportionality and necessity.

»Lagrådets ställning bör stärkas genom att utreda möjligheten att fordra kvalificerad majoritet i riksdagen vid antaganden av lagförslag om vilka Lagrådet riktat kritik.« — strengthened Lagråd position“The Lagråd's position should be strengthened by investigating the possibility of requiring a qualified majority in the Riksdag when adopting legislative proposals on which the Lagråd has directed criticism.”

The plan explicitly commits to working for simplification of rules and easing small businesses' administrative burden, and to removing unnecessary rules where the cost does not match the benefit. The counter-proposal's requirement for proposals that prevent a disproportionate documentation burden from the interest-deduction rules for small and medium-sized enterprises is precisely this. The plan also requires that new rules should be cost-effective.

»Verka för regelförenkling och avlasta småföretagens administrativa börda« — reduced administrative burden“Work for simplification of rules and ease small businesses' administrative burden”

The plan explicitly commits to deepening Nordic defence and security cooperation and states that the deteriorated security situation requires increased Nordic coordination, including joint research and technology development. The counter-proposal's demands for closer Nordic defence industry projects and a common stance align directly with this. The plan also wants a defence alliance with Finland.

»Fördjupa det nordiska försvars- och säkerhetssamarbetet« — Nordic defence cooperation“Deepen Nordic defence and security cooperation”

The plan requires that permit processes be made more efficient and predictable and that regulations be simplified with better legal security. The counter-proposal's demands for better adapted regulations, exemptions from notification requirements for small-scale operations, and a consolidated digital contact point are precisely such regulatory simplification.

The plan requires that regulations become more flexible according to each member state's unique landscape, tradition and standards, and that Sweden's self-determination over forests is protected against the EU. The counter-proposal's requirement that international regulations and the forthcoming strategy take into account different biophysical conditions and conservation traditions is the same commitment. The plan furthermore emphasizes that nature conservation should be based on what most effectively preserves species.

The plan explicitly requires that higher education to a greater extent is adapted to the needs of a future labour market and that education occurs according to labour market needs. The counter-proposal's demand for strengthened labour market connection and education of good quality throughout the country aligns with this and with the plan's ambition to conduct policy for all of Sweden. However, the demand must not come at the cost of the academic independence that the plan simultaneously values.

»Den högre utbildningen ska i högre grad anpassas efter behoven på en framtida arbetsmarknad.« — labour market-adapted higher education“Higher education shall to a greater extent be adapted to the needs of a future labour market.”

The plan wants to establish a Nordic crisis readiness committee for coordinated crisis management and states that self-sufficiency in food needs to increase and be able to quickly scale up during prolonged disruptions. A common Nordic strategy with timeline for food preparedness is precisely such coordination. The demand that Nordic language and culture community be made visible also has support in the plan.

The plan explicitly requires simpler and more flexible regulations for agriculture and forestry and wants to strengthen the competitiveness and self-sufficiency of agriculture. The counter-proposal's requirement for adapted rules for water extraction and habitat protection is exactly such a regulation simplification that should make it possible to continue producing food.

The election manifesto requires increased competitiveness in Swedish agriculture and increased food self-sufficiency, simplified regulations and reduced taxes and fees for the sector. The plan also wants to increase the self-sufficiency rate of critical goods in preparation for crisis.

The election manifesto establishes that political control of higher education shall decrease and academic independence shall increase, and that higher academia's independence shall be valued. The plan criticises political control and ideologically shaped values in research and wants to protect the right to speak freely without threats or reprisals.

The election manifesto wants to preserve regional airports and give them status as standby airports, and emphasises domestic aviation as central so that people throughout the country can run businesses and stay in touch. Policy should be conducted for all of Sweden. The counter-proposal's demand for strengthened national coordination of aviation infrastructure in sparsely populated areas thus aligns with the plan.

The election manifesto wants to improve opportunities for contact bans and enable restrictions on the perpetrator's freedom of movement, including bans from returning to the place or proximity to the victim. Policy shall be formed with the best interests of the crime victim, not the perpetrator.

The election manifesto states that the child's best interest shall always be considered and that investigations about children shall be quality-assured and legally secure. The party also wishes to have a clear action plan for those subjected to violence in close relationships.

The plan explicitly demands improved protection of income qualifying for sickness benefit and a secure and legally certain sickness insurance where the regulations become more flexible and adapted to the individual's conditions. A new SGI regulation that lets self-employed calculate their income based on historical income and includes scholarships for cultural workers is precisely such an adaptation for groups with weak protection.

The plan wants to reform the shoreline protection and establishes that the rules need to be relaxed so that building near water is allowed to a greater extent, which is described as an important rural issue. The party programme also establishes that decisions should be made at the lowest appropriate level. Replacing the general shoreline protection with local power to designate protected areas directly answers these commitments.

»Det är attraktivt att få bo och att få bygga nära vatten, därför är ett rimligt strandskydd som i högre grad tillåter byggande, en viktig landsbygdsfråga.« — relaxed shoreline protection“It is attractive to live and build near water, so reasonable shoreline protection that allows building to a greater extent is an important rural issue.”

The plan explicitly demands zero tolerance for violence and insecurity in schools, that teachers receive increased authority and better position and that the possibility to intervene with sharp measures against students who destroy the working environment is reviewed. The counter-proposal's demands for a national anti-bullying plan, strengthened teacher position and more inspections coincide with these commitments. The plan's emphasis on proven pedagogy also aligns with the demand for evidence.

The election manifesto sees with concern that rural areas are falling behind in broadband expansion and mobile coverage and wants to invest in expanding broadband and telephony throughout the country. The counter-proposal precisely requires greater state responsibility where the market is insufficient as well as prioritized 5G expansion. The requirement for robustness and redundancy in a changed security situation meets the plan's requirement that society's vulnerability in a digital society be evaluated.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill satsa på utbyggnaden av bredband samt säkerställa att alla har tillgång till telefoni och fungerande posttjänster, inklusive möjligheten att få sin myndighetspost digitalt.« — broadband and telephony for all“The Swedish Democrats want to invest in broadband expansion and ensure that everyone has access to telephone services and functioning postal services, including the ability to receive official mail digitally.”

The plan requires strong investments in police, prosecutors and prisons and explicitly wants to expand the availability of prison places both within and outside Sweden. Shortage of places, overcrowding and queues in remand facilities are exactly the problem these commitments are aimed at.

The plan states that the police shall be visible and accessible throughout the country at all hours of the day, and that everyone in need of police shall quickly receive help.

The plan states that personnel is the most important component of the Armed Forces and wants to retain and re-recruit personnel through competitive conditions for specialist and professional officers. It also explicitly wants to strengthen the Home Guard's position and secure personnel supply through a mix of professional soldiers and conscripts. The counter-proposal's requirements for better conditions, removed obstacles to service and a strengthened Home Guard therefore follow directly from the plan.

The plan wants to strengthen the Constitution's rights protection explicitly concerning property rights and increase the opportunity for constitutional review of norms. An explicit proportionality requirement when interfering with property rights is precisely such a strengthening. The plan moreover requires strengthened property rights and that forest owners' right to manage their forests be protected, which is the counter-proposal's example from the forestry sector.

The plan explicitly wishes to prevent foreign financing of extremist religious communities and organizations and states that mosques and other communities that work for extremism shall neither receive public grants nor funds from foreign regimes. The counter-proposal's requirement for a prompt investigation into a ban on foreign financing of religious communities with links to Islamism follows directly from this. The plan also requires that Islamism is combated and that grants to extremist organizations are stopped.

The plan explicitly wants to increase the opportunity for cattle to graze outdoors and give dairy farmers special compensation for the additional costs when cows graze outside, i.e., both expanded outdoor time and compensation for grazing time. The plan also wants to compensate animal farmers who maintain higher standards than the EU generally, which addresses the objection about competitive disadvantages for smaller farms. The counter-proposal's demands thus align with the plan.

The plan explicitly wants to adapt and simplify rules and processes for planning and construction and review the extensive regulations and requirements that govern housing construction. Replacing building permits with notification requirements and expanding the list of building permit-exempt measures is precisely such regulatory simplification. The plan also emphasizes strengthened property rights and municipal self-determination, which the counter-proposal also invokes.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill underlätta bostadsbyggande genom att förenkla och snabba på beslutsprocesser och se över de omfattande regelverk och krav som styr bostadsbyggande.« — simplified building rules“Sverigedemokraterna wants to facilitate housing construction by simplifying and speeding up decision processes and reviewing the extensive regulations and requirements that govern housing construction.”

The plan's ambition is that Swedish standards for animal husbandry should become the standard for the entire EU, which is exactly what the counter-proposal drives. The plan furthermore wants to prohibit export and import of live animals for slaughter to reduce painful transports and prevent poor animal husbandry from becoming a competitive advantage, which responds to demands for shorter transport times and fairer competition. Tightened EU requirements in the animal welfare area are therefore supported by the plan.

The election manifesto explicitly establishes that every journalist's, artist's and citizen's right to express themselves freely without being subjected to threats or reprisals shall be protected and strengthened. A concrete action plan against threats and hate against journalists, opinion-makers, politicians and cultural workers is a means for precisely that commitment. The plan also wants to sharply raise penalties for crimes against persons and strengthen the position of crime victims.

The election manifesto establishes that authorities must not become the enemies of businesses but must take on a more supportive function, and that the administrative burden on small businesses should be reduced. The counter-proposal's demands for good treatment, reasonable processing times and better digital service for smaller businesses are precisely that commitment. The plan points particularly to how bureaucracy and administrative costs divert focus from businesses' core activities and that permit processes are often long and unpredictable.

The counter-proposal's requirement for initiatives for better working environment, safer employment and higher professional status thereby coincides with the plan's own commitments. The party programme furthermore emphasizes that high staffing levels are a basic prerequisite in elderly care.

»Förbättra status, arbetsvillkor samt öka företagshälsovård i kvinnodominerade yrken« — better conditions in care professions“Improve status, working conditions and increase occupational health services in female-dominated professions”

The election manifesto explicitly requires a new elderly care act that strengthens legal protection for good living conditions, since reasonable living conditions are not sufficient. The counter-proposal's demand for a special elderly care act to elevate and secure care is therefore exactly what the plan commits to. The party programme's requirements for national quality standards that cannot be undercut and that the municipality's finances must not determine the quality of care support the same conclusion.

»En ny äldreomsorgslag måste stärka lagstödet för goda levnadsvillkor då den nuvarande benämningen med skäliga levnadsvillkor inte duger.« — new elderly care act“A new elderly care act must strengthen legal protection for good living conditions as the current term with reasonable living conditions is not sufficient.”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to streamlining and increasing predictability in permit processes for industry, mining and electricity grids, because long and unpredictable proceedings hinder investments. The counter-proposal's demand for modification permits as the principal rule and permanent possibility to assess socially important activities is precisely such streamlining. The plan furthermore rejects regulations and symbolic politics that hinder industry's opportunities.

»Effektivisera och öka förutsägbarheten i tillståndsprocesserna för gruvnäring, elnätsutbyggnad och industri« — faster permit processes“Streamline and increase predictability in permit processes for mining, electricity grid expansion and industry”

The election manifesto notes that permit processes are often long and unpredictable and commits to streamlining them and increasing predictability for mining, grid expansion and industry. An investigation of a reformed Environmental Code with parallel permit processes is precisely such a measure. The plan also prioritizes Swedish industry and competitiveness, which bears the counter-proposal's demand.

The election manifesto notes that extensive facility shortages lead to shortage of training times and establishes that society should to a greater extent meet the need for sports facilities. The plan also commits to giving the sports movements conditions for continued vitality and increasing sports participation among the entire population. The counter-proposal's requirement for state participation in financing new construction and renovation directly responds to these commitments.

»Samhället bör i större utsträckning tillgodose behovet av idrottsanläggningar« — more sports facilities“Society should to a greater extent meet the need for sports facilities”

The election manifesto explicitly requires Sweden to introduce a genuine labour market test for work permits, and that labour immigration to occupations that can be met by domestic workforce be stopped. The party programme establishes that the labour market's needs should first and foremost be met with domestic workforce and that labour immigration should be needs-based. The counter-proposal's demand for authority-based labour market testing is thus the plan's own line.

»För arbetstillstånd behöver Sverige införa en riktig arbetsmarknadsprövning för att förhindra att arbetsgivare importerar billig arbetskraft från fattiga länder för att utföra yrken som kräver liten eller ingen utbildning.« — genuine labour market test“For work permits Sweden needs to introduce a genuine labour market test to prevent employers from importing cheap labour from poor countries to perform occupations requiring little or no education.”

The plan explicitly demands that Sweden's self-sufficiency in food increases and can be rapidly scaled up during prolonged disruptions, that general stockpiles are restored and that various crisis scenarios are analyzed and planned for. The counter-proposal's demand for an investigation of supply capacity throughout the country, stockpiles and investments in drinking water is therefore the plan's own line.

»Sveriges självförsörjning av energi, livsmedel och medicinskt material behöver öka och snabbt kunna skalas upp vid långvariga störningar.« — increased self-sufficiency in food“Sweden's self-sufficiency in energy, food and medical material needs to increase and be able to be rapidly scaled up during prolonged disruptions.”

The plan explicitly demands that property tax from electricity production facilities remain at the regional level and criticizes that income from raw material extraction and industry rarely benefits the local area. It wants all of the country to share in prosperity. The counter-proposal's demand for statutory reallocation from wind and hydropower to affected municipalities therefore follows directly from the plan.

»Den fastighetsskatt som tas ut från industri- och elproduktionsanläggningar vill vi ska stanna på regional nivå.« — reallocation to regional level“The property tax collected from industrial and electricity production facilities we want to remain at the regional level.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires that gang members can be better mapped through intelligence work, surveillance, camera surveillance and wiretapping, and that procedural obstacles to increased prosecution are removed. A permit-reviewed framework for biometric remote identification in real time at airports and stations is precisely such a tool against terrorism and gang crime. The plan also gives the justice system resources and authority to carry out its tasks, which supports the counter-proposal's demand.

»Åtgärder ska vidtas för att bättre kunna kartlägga gängaktiva genom t.ex. underrättelsearbete och informationsinhämtning, spaning, kameraövervakning och avlyssning.« — camera surveillance against gangs“Measures shall be taken to better map gang members through e.g. intelligence work and information gathering, surveillance, camera surveillance and wiretapping.”

The plan explicitly requires knowledge-enhancing measures for all working with children and young people and that the process around placed children be upgraded and quality-assured. It also establishes that children taken into care should be able to trust the society's care. The counter-proposal's demands for a skills development programme for staff is precisely this commitment, regardless of what work is already underway.

»Det behövs också kunskapshöjande åtgärder för alla som arbetar med barn och unga och familjerättsliga frågor.« — skills development for those working with children and young people“Knowledge-enhancing measures are also needed for all working with children, young people and family law matters.”

The plan establishes that childcare is struggling with too-large child groups and explicitly requires a maximum limit on the number of children per adult. It also wants national guidelines to ensure equivalent opportunities and values families' freedom of choice. The counter-proposal's demand for guaranteed quality, equivalence and measures regarding child group size and staff ratio is therefore the plan's own line.

»Upprätta en maxgräns för antalet barn per vuxen« — maximum limit children per adult“Establish a maximum limit for the number of children per adult”

The election manifesto explicitly wants to stop the positive special treatment of newly arrived people regarding jobs and housing, and criticizes that newly arrived people are given priority in the housing queue. That the main principle of mediation in queue order according to time in queue shall remain is precisely the order the plan defends, whereas broad use of priority is what the plan opposes. The plan also wants to improve young people's opportunities to acquire their first home, which a transparent and legitimate queue serves.

»Stoppa den positiva särbehandlingen av nyanlända vad gäller jobb och lägenheter« — no priority for newly arrived people“Stop the positive special treatment of newly arrived people regarding jobs and housing”

The election manifesto requires that the legal system's coordination between authorities be improved and that procedural obstacles to increased prosecution be removed. This directly supports the counter-proposal's requirement for changed secrecy legislation for information exchange between social services, healthcare and police. The plan additionally wants to stop welfare crime and give social services, schools and the legal system the opportunity to intervene early, which presupposes precisely such information exchange.

»Rättsväsendets samverkan mellan myndigheter och verktyg för att upptäcka och lagföra kriminella ska förbättras.« — improved inter-agency coordination“The legal system's coordination between authorities and tools to detect and prosecute criminals must be improved.”

The plan explicitly requires capacity-building measures for all who work with children, young people and family law matters and that investigations concerning children shall be quality-assured and legally secure. A competence requirement for judges ruling in cases concerning custody, residence and access is a direct application of that commitment. The plan's principle that the best interests of the child shall always be considered points in the same direction.

»Det behövs också kunskapshöjande åtgärder för alla som arbetar med barn och unga och familjerättsliga frågor.« — competence requirements in family law“Capacity-building measures are also needed for all who work with children, young people and family law matters.”

The plan's ambition is that the public sector shall take the same responsibility for citizens' oral and dental health as for other health and that all citizens shall be offered dental care on the same terms as other care. Lowering the age limit for free dental care goes in the opposite direction, whereas the counter-proposal's approach of taking a broader grip on the high-cost protection aligns with the plan's commitment. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demand.

»Ambitionen ska vara att det offentliga ska ta samma ansvar för medborgarnas mun- och tandhälsa, som för annan hälsa.« — dental care as other care“The ambition shall be that the public sector shall take the same responsibility for citizens' oral and dental health as for other health.”

The plan explicitly demands improved possibilities for contact bans and that perpetrators can be subject to bans from returning to the place where the crime was committed or to the victim's vicinity. A specially expanded contact ban that can cover an entire municipality is precisely such a geographical expansion. The plan furthermore states that policy shall be formulated based on the victim's best interest, not the perpetrator's.

»Förbättra möjligheterna till kontaktförbud« — improved contact bans“Improve possibilities for contact bans”

The plan explicitly states that marine and water environment shall be prioritized more clearly before excessive fishing, and that the pace in the work with the Baltic Sea's marine environment shall increase. The counter-proposal's objection that the management plan's focus leads to systematic overfishing and the requirement for more long-term scientifically based decisions therefore aligns with the plan, which also requires that environmental policy is based on research. The plan supports the requirement.

»Vår havs- och vattenmiljö måste prioriteras tydligare framför ett allt för intensivt fiske och omfattande vindkraftsutbyggnad.« — havsmiljö före intensivt fiske“Our marine and water environment must be prioritized more clearly before excessive fishing and extensive wind power expansion.”

The plan requires far-reaching opportunities to seize assets in circles around criminals and that the justice system receive more effective tools against serious crime. Adding aggravated bookkeeping crime, aggravated money laundering crime and serious business money laundering among the crimes that can trigger expanded forfeiture is precisely such an expansion. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Polis, socialtjänst och kronofogde ska ges verktyg att statuera exempel och göra den kriminella livsstilen oattraktiv, t.ex. genom långtgående möjligheter att beslagta tillgångar i kretsen kring kriminella« — far-reaching forfeiture of assets“Police, social services and the enforcement authority shall be given tools to make examples and make the criminal lifestyle unattractive, for example through far-reaching opportunities to seize assets in circles around criminals”

The plan wants to nationalize the unemployment insurance fund and let the Social Insurance Agency administer unemployment insurance, that is the same agency as disability insurance, and work for a more coordinated system between agencies so that individuals do not fall through the cracks. The counter-proposal's requirement for an investigation into a merged security system under one agency is thus precisely the arrangement the plan advocates.

»Arbetslöshetsförsäkringen ska administrativt hanteras av Försäkringskassan som har en tillräcklig organisation för att möta kraftigt ökade behov.« — one agency for insurance“Unemployment insurance shall be administratively handled by the Social Insurance Agency which has a sufficient organization to meet greatly increased needs.”

The plan establishes that social services need to be strengthened and that knowledge-raising measures are needed for everyone working with children, young people and family law matters, as well as improved quality and legal certainty in investigations of children.

The plan wants to invest in primary care with greater patient contact and a patient-responsible physician, abolish care queues with a proper care guarantee and review how the state can to a greater extent take primary responsibility for healthcare. The counter-proposal's requirement for a national primary care reform with long-term financing, more fixed physician contacts and strengthened preventive work directly addresses these commitments.

»Satsningar på primärvården med större patientkontakt och samordning av en patientansvarig läkare kan avlasta akut- och specialistvården genom snabbare vård.« — primary care with fixed physician contact“Investments in primary care with greater patient contact and coordination of a patient-responsible physician can relieve acute and specialist care through faster treatment.”

The election manifesto names virginity checks as a widespread honour-related phenomenon and states that honour culture shall be combated with society's collective resources. The plan also wants to increase society's efforts and coordinate work against honour-based oppression and tighten the regulations regarding honour-related phenomena. A ban for healthcare personnel to participate in virginity checks and tightened legislation is precisely the kind of measure the plan seeks, which is why the plan supports the counter-proposal's demands.

»Könsstympning och oskuldskontroller är mycket vanliga i segregerade områden och bland stora invandrargrupper.« — virginity checks must be eliminated“Female genital mutilation and virginity checks are very common in segregated areas and among large immigrant groups.”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to preventing foreign financing of extremist religious communities and organisations and states that Islamist extremism is financed through foreign donations and state funds. The plan also establishes that religious communities that work for extremism shall receive neither public grants nor funds from foreign regimes. The counter-proposal's requirement to promptly appoint an investigation into a ban on such financing and stricter supervision is thus wholly in line with the plan.

»Hindra utländsk finansiering av extremistiska trossamfund och organisationer« — stop foreign financing“Prevent foreign financing of extremist religious communities and organisations.”

The plan makes increased competitiveness in Swedish agriculture and greater food self-sufficiency explicit goals, and the party programme seeks a strong and competitive agricultural sector. The counter-proposal's demand for policy for vibrant and viable countryside with competitive and environmentally sustainable farming aligns with this, as does the requirement that agricultural land is cultivated.

The plan explicitly requires an action plan for those subjected to violence in close relationships and that the victim's position and support be strengthened. The counter-proposal's demand for a standardized and quick process with clear procedures, a review of women's shelters and clearer rules for financial support is precisely a concretization of that commitment. The plan also wants to improve the possibilities for contact bans.

»Upprätta en handlingsplan för den som utsätts för våld i nära relation« — action plan against intimate partner violence“Establish an action plan for those subjected to violence in close relationships”

The plan establishes that the party strongly opposed cuts within LSS (Act Concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) and that the regulatory framework needs to be changed to stop the restrictions that have continued in recent years. It also wants all basic needs to be assistance-grounding in their entirety and that the person who needs support receives it. The counter-proposal's demand for urgent action against the deteriorations and a review of the regulatory framework follows from the plan.

»Regelverket för LSS behöver ändras och förtydligas för att stoppa de kraftiga inskränkningar som pågått de senaste åren.« — stop LSS restrictions“The regulatory framework for LSS needs to be changed and clarified to stop the severe restrictions that have continued in recent years.”

The plan requires increased Swedish self-sufficiency in food and energy and that the self-sufficiency level of critical goods be raised and can quickly be scaled up at disruptions. It also wants to promote Swedish biofuel production and reduce the use of imported biofuels. The counter-proposal's requirement for a living agriculture with higher self-sufficiency and domestic bioenergy from agricultural biomass directly responds to these commitments.

»Öka det svenska jordbrukets konkurrenskraft och Sveriges självförsörjning av livsmedel« — raised self-sufficiency“Increase the competitiveness of Swedish agriculture and Sweden's self-sufficiency in food.”

The plan explicitly requires state overall responsibility for personal assistance and points out that the divided principal role between municipality and state has made assessments legally insecure. The counter-proposal's demand that a state principal role is implemented now, for equivalence, legal security and work against improper payments, therefore coincides with the plan's commitment.

»Ha statligt helhetsansvar för personlig assistans« — state principal role“Have state overall responsibility for personal assistance”

The plan explicitly commits to investment in broadband and telephone expansion throughout the country and states with concern that rural areas are lagging behind in broadband expansion and mobile coverage. It also requires that care is available even in sparsely populated regions and that a national patient record system is introduced. The counter-proposal's requirements for state responsibility for broadband, coverage and technology for remote healthcare in rural areas thus lie within the plan's commitments.

»Satsa på utbyggnad av bredband och telefoni i hela landet« — broadband throughout the country“Invest in broadband and telephone expansion throughout the country”

The plan establishes that research is crucial to find the causes of growing mental ill health and wants to establish a national research programme in the area. A particular investigation of why mental ill health among children and young people is increasing, including the school system's role, is exactly such a knowledge base, and the plan also wants to significantly strengthen student health.

»Forskningen är avgörande för den fortsatta kunskapsutvecklingen inom området psykisk hälsa samt för att hitta orsakerna till den växande psykiska ohälsan i samhället.« — knowledge about causes“Research is crucial for continued knowledge development in the field of mental health as well as for finding the causes of growing mental ill health in society.”

The plan states that Sweden should work for clear sanctions against Russia and other countries with negative development, and that Sweden clearly shall mark against violations of sovereign states' territory. Upholding sanctions against Russian decision-makers, using frozen assets for Ukraine's reconstruction and terror-listing Russian private military companies lie directly in that line and in the plan's fight against international terrorism.

»Sverige bör verka för tydliga sanktioner mot Turkiet, Belarus, Ryssland och andra länder med en negativ utveckling.« — sanctions against Russia“Sweden should work for clear sanctions against Turkey, Belarus, Russia and other countries with negative development.”

The plan requires that waiting queues be abolished and a proper care guarantee be introduced as rights legislation for citizens. That the guarantee should cover investigations and examinations, continuously from first care contact to treatment and aids, is precisely such a strengthening of the patient's right. The plan also wants to increase the number of care places and invest in primary care so that the guarantee can actually be fulfilled.

»En riktig vårdgaranti bör införas som en rättighetslagstiftning för medborgarna. Det ska inrättas ett vårdgarantikansli för vårdköer under Socialstyrelsens regi.« — care guarantee as right“A proper care guarantee should be introduced as rights legislation for citizens.

Open the case →

The plan requires that waiting times for care are abolished and that a genuine care guarantee is introduced as rights legislation, with a special care guarantee office for waiting times. That corresponds to the counter-proposal's demand for more forceful measures and a separate office for the transition work. The plan furthermore wants to invest in primary care with patient-responsible physician, which is the same direction as the demand for close care and better doctor density.

»En riktig vårdgaranti bör införas som en rättighetslagstiftning för medborgarna. Det ska inrättas ett vårdgarantikansli för vårdköer under Socialstyrelsens regi.« — genuine care guarantee and care guarantee office“A genuine care guarantee should be introduced as rights legislation for citizens.

The plan gives schools, social services and the justice system a clearer mandate to identify children and young people suspected of living in honour culture and to be able to implement strong measures, and wants to tighten rules on forced marriage and child marriage. Children taken abroad against their will belong to that problem picture. That social services and courts receive the resources the mandate requires follows from the fact that the measures shall be able to be carried out and that the child's best interests shall always be considered.

»Skola, socialtjänst och rättsväsende måste få ett tydligare uppdrag att identifiera barn och unga som misstänks leva i hederskultur och möjlighet att sätta in kraftiga åtgärder mot vuxna som utövar sådant förtryck.« — clearer mandate against honour-based oppression“Schools, social services and the justice system must be given a clearer mandate to identify children and young people suspected of living in honour culture and the possibility to implement strong measures against adults who exercise such oppression.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires that permitting processes for mining, grid expansion and industry be made more efficient, accelerated and more predictable, and states that long and unpredictable processes reduce Sweden's attractiveness for investments. The counter-proposal's demand to modernize the processes now rather than await yet another investigation is precisely this commitment. The plan also requires that it become faster to open mines.

The election manifesto explicitly states that more must be done to prevent and solve the problems of invasive plant and animal species, and lists this as an environmental commitment. The counter-proposal's requirements for escalated control on land and at sea, as well as better mapping and monitoring, are exactly what the plan calls for. The plan also emphasizes the marine environment and effective methods in nature conservation.

The election manifesto explicitly requires that shoreline protection be reformed and that the rules be relaxed so that shoreline-adjacent construction to a greater degree is permitted, stated as a rural issue. The counter-proposal's demands for easements for small lakes and narrow watercourses and simpler shoreline construction in rural areas are precisely this commitment. That protection is simultaneously strengthened in particularly valuable areas is compatible with the plan's demands for reasonable shoreline protection and guarded public access to nature.

»Det är attraktivt att få bo och att få bygga nära vatten, därför är ett rimligt strandskydd som i högre grad tillåter byggande, en viktig landsbygdsfråga.« — shoreline protection that permits construction“It is attractive to be able to live and build close to water, therefore reasonable shoreline protection that to a greater degree permits construction is an important rural issue.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires expanded access to prison places and substantial investments in prisons as a consequence of increased penalties and greater incapacitation. The counter-proposal's demand for a plan for how the correctional system shall manage growing capacity needs is thus directly supported by the plan. However, the plan's pragmatic view of operational form means that the counter-proposal's rejection of privatization lacks support.

»Utöka tillgången på anstaltsplatser i och utanför Sverige« — more prison places“Expand access to prison places in and outside Sweden”

The election manifesto requires significantly increased penalties for serious crimes against the person and that penalties should be proportional and provide restitution for the victim. The counter-proposal's requirement for increased minimum and maximum penalties for serious personal assault and serious assault on women as well as a new categorization for the most serious cases is precisely the increase the plan requires. The plan also shows that it is prepared to introduce new crime categorizations.

The plan establishes that all crimes, even those that do not make headlines, shall be investigated and that the police shall be present close by throughout Sweden and be visible and accessible throughout the country. The counter-proposal's demand for relationship and high-volume crime investigators at the local level throughout the country, especially for sexual crimes and violence in close relationships, follows directly from this. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Utgångspunkten bör vara att alla brott, även sådana som inte skapar rubriker, ska utredas och att polisen ska finnas nära i hela Sverige.« — police close by throughout Sweden“The starting point should be that all crimes, even such that do not make headlines, shall be investigated and that the police shall be present close by throughout Sweden.”

The election manifesto explicitly points out camera surveillance as one of the tools the justice system should have to map gang-active individuals, and requires that procedural obstacles to increased prosecution be removed. The counter-proposal's demand to investigate obstacles and give police broader and real-time access to camera material directly aligns with this commitment. The plan therefore supports the demand on the merits.

»Åtgärder ska vidtas för att bättre kunna kartlägga gängaktiva genom t.ex. underrättelsearbete och informationsinhämtning, spaning, kameraövervakning och avlyssning.« — camera surveillance against gangs“Measures shall be taken to better map gang-active individuals through, for example, intelligence work and information gathering, surveillance, camera surveillance and eavesdropping.”

The election manifesto requires reduced fuel tax and lower prices at the pump as well as explicitly reduced diesel tax for agriculture and forestry. The counter-proposal's requirement for minimized excise tax on biofuels, an agricultural deduction instead of today's reduction and tax exemption for high-blend biofuels are reductions in the same direction, and the plan also wants to promote Swedish biofuel production. However, the plan is critical of imported biofuels, which qualifies the support.

The plan explicitly requires a new care for the elderly act that strengthens legal support for good living conditions, because reasonable living conditions do not suffice. The counter-proposal's requirement to introduce a new care for the elderly act and legislation that strengthens health and care within care for the elderly is precisely this. The plan therefore supports the requirement, in line with the requirement for national quality standards that must not be undercut.

»En ny äldreomsorgslag måste stärka lagstödet för goda levnadsvillkor då den nuvarande benämningen med skäliga levnadsvillkor inte duger.« — new care for the elderly act“A new care for the elderly act must strengthen legal support for good living conditions as the current term of reasonable living conditions does not suffice.”

The election manifesto establishes that the process surrounding children in care needs to be upgraded and quality assured and that investigations concerning children shall be quality assured and legally sound. The counter-proposal's demands that the work on better child welfare and foster care placements be continued and that the grounds for ending a placement be clarified are directly in line with this. The plan also establishes that the best interests of the child shall always be considered.

The plan explicitly states that the marine and aquatic environment must be prioritized more clearly over too intensive fishing and that the pace of work to restore the Baltic Sea's marine environment should increase. The counter-proposal's requirement that the responsible authority use national opportunities to manage fishing differently in spawning areas and restrict equipment is precisely such a prioritization. The plan also wants to strengthen national self-determination against the EU.

»Vår havs- och vattenmiljö måste prioriteras tydligare framför ett allt för intensivt fiske och omfattande vindkraftsutbyggnad.« — marine environment before intensive fishing“Our marine and aquatic environment must be prioritized more clearly over too intensive fishing and extensive wind power expansion.”

The election manifesto explicitly points out that fish farms move to neighboring countries as a consequence of a policy that shuts down primary industries, and wants to simplify regulations and reform shoreline protection. The counter-proposal's demands for regulations adapted to aquaculture, funds for research and investments, and shoreline protection exceptions for farm-based aquaculture follow directly from this. The plan also wants to increase self-sufficiency in food.

»Regeringens strategi under två mandatperioder har strävat efter att stänga ner. Gruvor får inte startas, fiskodlingar flyttas till våra grannländer och skog tas ut ur produktion mot markägarnas vilja.« — fish farming should be able to grow in Sweden“The government's strategy during two mandates has endeavored to shut down. Mines cannot be started, fish farms move to our neighboring countries and forests are taken out of production against the landowner's will.”

The election manifesto wants to explicitly modernize the 3:12 rules to stimulate entrepreneurship. The counter-proposal's adjustments of the tax rate within the threshold amount and of the ceiling where service taxation transitions to capital taxation is precisely such a modernization to the benefit of entrepreneurs. The plan also establishes that it must be worthwhile to take risks to grow and that taxes should not hamper Swedish businesses.

The election manifesto explicitly establishes that foreign policy shall protect Sweden's interests and reputation and that the worsened image of Sweden in the world is something the party wants to change. The counter-proposal's requirement for a coordinated Middle East strategy that addresses disinformation about Swedish social services and police and strengthens the image of Sweden is precisely this. The plan also wants to prioritize the foreign policy issues that have the greatest impact on Swedish society.

The plan wants to lower the price at the pump through reduced fuel tax and lowered mandatory blending obligation, reduce use of expensive imported biofuels and instead promote Swedish biofuel production. The counter-proposal's demand for lower taxes and fees within the mandatory blending obligation, a diesel standard that tolerates higher blending and significantly expanded domestic production targets precisely these commitments. The goal of increased self-sufficiency in critical goods also speaks for the proposal.

»Främja svensk biobränsleproduktion« — domestic biofuel production“Promote Swedish biofuel production”

The plan explicitly states that all basic needs should be covered by personal assistance entirely and not be valued or weighed against each other, and that those who need support should receive it. A standardized parental deduction that removes parts of the child's needs directly conflicts with that commitment. The plan also explicitly opposes the savings requirements and restrictions that have undermined LSS.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill att samtliga grundläggande behov ska vara assistansgrundande i sin helhet och inte värderas eller ställas mot varandra.

The plan explicitly requires that state support to extremist organizations and groups acting to segregate be stopped, and that religious communities engaging in extremism receive neither public grants nor foreign financing. A law on democracy conditions with reclaim possibilities is the direct tool for that commitment.

The plan wants to increase Swedish agriculture's competitiveness and food self-sufficiency, restore emergency stockpiles and ensure that supply can be quickly scaled up in case of prolonged disruptions. It also requires that agricultural land be worked and overgrowth prevented and that regulations be simplified.

The plan describes how clans, organized crime and Islamists infiltrate public institutions as a growing threat to democracy and wishes to counter the power of clans in the public sphere. It also wishes to increase penalties for fraud within the welfare systems and counter systems that encourage corruption. The counter-proposal's demand for a broad investigation into undue influence and corruption thus aligns with the plan.

»Att klaner, organiserad brottslighet och islamister infiltrerar samhällsorgan är ett växande hot mot den demokratiska modellen.« — infiltration of public institutions“Clans, organized crime and Islamists infiltrating public institutions pose a growing threat to the democratic model.”

The plan requires that political control of higher education decrease and academic independence increase, and criticizes that political control and ideologically marked value systems characterize research. It also wants to protect every citizen's right to express themselves freely without threats or reprisals. The counter-proposal's demands for free research without political pressure, combined with strengthened protection of activity and information, thus follow from the plan.

»Den politiska styrningen av högre utbildning ska minska och akademins självständighet öka.« — reduced political control“Political control of higher education shall decrease and academic independence increase.”

The plan explicitly requires that Sweden introduce a genuine labour market test for work permits, to prevent import of cheap labour for occupations requiring little training. It also seeks to stop labour immigration to occupations that can be filled by domestic labour. The counter-proposal's requirement for authority-based labour market testing is thus exactly the plan's line.

»För arbetstillstånd behöver Sverige införa en riktig arbetsmarknadsprövning för att förhindra att arbetsgivare importerar billig arbetskraft från fattiga länder för att utföra yrken som kräver liten eller ingen utbildning.« — genuine labour market test“For work permits Sweden needs to introduce a genuine labour market test to prevent employers from importing cheap labour from poor countries to perform occupations requiring little or no training.”

The plan explicitly states that EU cooperation in the short term shall be focused on strengthened border protection and work against cross-border crime, and wants to strengthen European cooperation against hybrid threats and terrorism. Stopping human trafficking and migration movements to Europe is a central goal in the plan. The plan's resistance to power transfers pulls in the opposite direction, but substantively the plan supports more effective police cooperation against smuggling.

»Samarbetet i EU behöver i närtid fokuseras på att stärka gränsskyddet och arbetet mot gränsöverskridande brottslighet och islamism samt för mer effektivt återvändande av människor.« — EU against cross-border crime“EU cooperation needs in the short term to be focused on strengthening border protection and work against cross-border crime and Islamism and for more effective returns of people.”

The plan explicitly wishes to establish a maximum limit for the number of children per adult and points out that excessively large child groups are one of childcare's most serious problems. The counter-proposal's demand for binding regulation of child group size is the same thing in substance. The plan also emphasizes that facilities and outdoor environments should be designed for the right number of children.

»Upprätta en maxgräns för antalet barn per vuxen« — maximum limit children per adult“Establish a maximum limit for the number of children per adult.”

The plan requires that education is delivered according to the needs that exist in the labour market and that the education system to a greater degree is adapted to labour market needs, so that everyone gets the foundation for a profession that is in demand. The counter-proposal's demand for follow-up of the dimensioning reform and clearer state control of both public and independent principals follows from this. The party programme also advocates that the state take back the principal role for schools.

»Utbilda efter de behov som finns på arbetsmarknaden« — education according to labour market needs“Educate according to the needs that exist in the labour market”

The plan demands that legal certainty be strengthened for those practising forestry and that government agencies act in community of interest with landowners instead of against them. It also wants the regulations to be reviewed for functioning balance and that property rights be strengthened. The counter-proposal's demands for clearer species protection rules that stop unreasonable inventory requirements and appeals processes when logging follow directly from these commitments.

»Rättssäkerheten behöver stärkas för den som bedriver näring inom jord- och skogsbruk och myndigheternas arbete behöver i högre grad anpassas för att verka i intressegemenskap med markägare.« — legal certainty for landowners“Legal certainty needs to be strengthened for those conducting business within agriculture and forestry and government agencies' work needs to a higher degree be adapted to act in community of interest with landowners.”

The plan states that outdated copyright rules need to be adapted to how people consume and create content in the digital society, which is precisely what the counter-proposal wants to investigate. The plan also protects the rights of artists and citizens to express themselves freely. The support applies to the review in substance; however, the plan is skeptical that the EU determines what content can be distributed digitally.

»Föråldrade regler om upphovsrätt behöver också anpassas efter hur människor konsumerar och skapar innehåll i det digitala samhället.« — modernized copyright“Outdated copyright rules also need to be adapted to how people consume and create content in the digital society.”

The plan states that Swedish employees' position shall never be sacrificed as a concession to the EU and that Swedish control over the labour market model and welfare policy must be secured for future generations. It also requires that power transfers to the EU be stopped. The counter-proposal's demand for measures against all EU legislation that threatens the model is therefore the plan's own line.

»Svenska löntagares ställning ska aldrig offras som eftergift till EU.« — no concessions to the EU“Swedish employees' position shall never be sacrificed as a concession to the EU.”

The plan requires a restored total defence equipped for war and guaranteed long-term financing of defence, which is precisely the extended planning horizon the counter-proposal seeks. The plan also wants to strengthen Swedish defence industry and increase the self-sufficiency rate of critical goods, which carries the requirement on the business sector's role in preparedness. The counter-proposal's substantive requirements are thus in line with the plan.

»Återupprätta ett totalförsvar som är rustat för krig« — restored total defence“Restore a total defence that is equipped for war”

The plan explicitly sees potential in relocating more authority posts to smaller towns and demands a policy for the whole of Sweden. The principle that the whole of Sweden shall live is central and business must be facilitated throughout the country. An investigation into which authorities can be moved out of Stockholm is precisely the tool the plan's commitment points towards.

»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.« — relocation of authority posts“Sweden Democrats see potential to relocate more authority posts to smaller towns but the primary tool for growth and jobs in the countryside is simpler rules and opportunities for the countryside to grow.”

The plan states that all citizens shall be offered dental care on the same terms as other care and that the state shall take the same responsibility for oral and dental health as for other health. Care shall be provided according to need and national quality requirements must not be undercut, which bears the counter-proposal's demand for the needs principle and for equal requirements for private and public dental care. The plan's line thus supports the counter-proposal's substantive demand.

»Att alla medborgare ska erbjudas tandvård på samma villkor som annan vård« — dental care as other care“That all citizens shall be offered dental care on the same terms as other care”

The counter-proposal calls for measures that give people with disabilities and reduced work capacity quick, effective and individually tailored support to work or education. The plan establishes that precisely this group's opportunities to participate in the labour market must be strengthened and that support should be based on individual prerequisites. The demand thus coincides with the plan's stated commitment.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill stärka möjligheten för personer med nedsatt arbetsförmåga att delta i arbetslivet och i sysselsättning utifrån individuella förutsättningar.« — individually tailored support to work“Sweden Democrats want to strengthen the opportunity for people with reduced work capacity to participate in working life and employment based on individual prerequisites.”

The counter-proposal wants to raise the minimum sentence for the most serious weapons and explosive crimes from four to five years. The plan explicitly requires significantly increased sentences, especially for gang crime, and establishes that few measures are too far-reaching when gangs are to be pushed back. An additional sentence increase therefore lies directly in the plan's direction.

»Kraftigt höja straffen för gängkriminella« — harder sentences for gang crime“Significantly increase sentences for gang criminals”

The election manifesto demands zero tolerance for crime so that even minor crimes are investigated and prosecuted, and specifically points out that volume crimes such as theft, robbery, assault, and vandalism are rarely followed up. The counter-proposal demands that the government ensure that the Police Authority follows the investigation's recommendations on precisely this inefficient handling of volume crimes. The plan thus provides direct support for the demand.

»Införa nolltolerans mot brott så att även mindre allvarliga brott utreds och lagförs« — zero tolerance for volume crimes“Implement zero tolerance for crime so that even minor crimes are investigated and prosecuted”

The election manifesto establishes that all citizens should be offered dental care on the same terms as other healthcare and that the public should take the same responsibility for oral and dental health as for other health. Continuing the existing investigation towards a new cost ceiling for dental care, instead of initiating a new review, is the way to that goal. The plan therefore speaks in favour of the counter-proposal's demands.

»Att alla medborgare ska erbjudas tandvård på samma villkor som annan vård« — dental care as other healthcare“All citizens should be offered dental care on the same terms as other healthcare”

The election manifesto states that women's shelters must be supported and given better conditions and that civil society takes major responsibility for those who have escaped from honor-based oppression. The plan also wishes to establish an action plan for those subjected to intimate partner violence and to strengthen the fight against violence. The counter-proposal's requirement that the laws on protected housing are implemented swiftly and that women's shelter expertise is utilized directly responds to this.

»Kvinnojourer med inriktning mot hedersproblematik måste stödjas och ges bättre förutsättningar.« — support for women's shelters“Women's shelters focused on honor-based issues must be supported and given better conditions.”

The election manifesto commits to increasing Swedish agriculture's competitiveness and Sweden's self-sufficiency in food, and establishes that food self-sufficiency must quickly be able to scale up during prolonged disruptions. The plan also wishes to increase national financing in agriculture. The counter-proposal's demand that the food strategy be actively used to strengthen production and thereby preparedness directly meets these commitments.

The election manifesto establishes that the process surrounding children in care needs to be upgraded and quality assured and that social services' preventive measures shall increase to early catch youth at risk. The plan also wants to build new structures for improved cooperation between authorities and significantly strengthen school health services. The counter-proposal's demands for review of cooperation around youth homes, guidelines after completed care and strengthened cooperation between school health services, healthcare and social services directly respond to this.

»Det finns ett stort behov av att processen kring placerade barn uppgraderas och kvalitetssäkras.« — quality assured care of children in care“There is a large need for the process surrounding children in care to be upgraded and quality assured.”

The election manifesto states that many measures tried in Denmark shall be implemented against gangs and that social services, schools and the judicial system shall be able to intervene with harder measures at an early stage, even with sharp measures against young people in distress. The plan moreover means that few political measures are too far-reaching against gangs and their breeding ground. The counter-proposal's requirements for youth crime tribunals and early interventions even against parents' wishes thus directly answer the plan.

»Många åtgärder som prövats i Danmark ska genomföras för att bekämpa gängen.« — Danish measures against gangs“Many measures that have been tried in Denmark shall be implemented to combat gangs.”

The election manifesto wants to give social services, schools and the justice system the opportunity to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage and establishes that treatment expertise to the greatest extent shall be available on site in schools. The plan also wants to increase social services' preventive measures for young people at risk and significantly strengthen student health. The counter-proposal's demand to review cooperation teams with social workers and family therapists at middle school is precisely such a measure.

The election manifesto establishes that political control of higher education should decrease and academia's independence should increase, and points to serious criticism of political control and ideological values characterizing research. The plan also wants to protect every citizen's right to express themselves freely without threats or reprisals. The counter-proposal's requirement for freedom of subject and method choice, prohibition of political pressure and measures against threats to researchers directly address these commitments.

»Den politiska styrningen av högre utbildning ska minska och akademins självständighet öka.« — reduced political control“Political control of higher education should decrease and academia's independence should increase.”

The election manifesto requires state overall responsibility for personal assistance and points to the divided ownership between municipality and state as the cause of legally insecure assessments. The counter-proposal's requirement that the committee report on state ownership be processed expeditiously and that a proposal be presented is thus precisely the plan's line. The plan furthermore wants to stop the restrictions that have been ongoing within LSS, which requires swift decisions.

»Ha statligt helhetsansvar för personlig assistans« — state ownership“Have state overall responsibility for personal assistance”

Open the case →

The election manifesto is very critical of the implementation of the EU's weapons directive and explicitly points out magazine regulations as a measure taken to make legal weapons ownership difficult. The counter-proposal's requirement to avoid over-implementation and not to criminalize magazine possession with imprisonment thereby directly aligns with the plan's commitment to stop harassment of hunters and legal weapons owners. The plan also states that measures should be directed against illegal weapons and gang crime instead of legal possession.

»Magasinsreglering och förbud mot bly i ammunition är exempel på åtgärder som görs för att försvåra legalt vapenägande.« — motstånd mot magasinsreglering“Magazine regulations and prohibitions on lead in ammunition are examples of measures taken to make legal weapons ownership difficult.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires that a new and long-term calculation model for the standard amount of assistance compensation be drawn up, so that the increase reflects wage and cost development. The plan also states that compensation levels have been successively eroded and do not cover cost increases. The counter-proposal's demand for a stable and predictable indexation model is therefore exactly what the plan requests.

»Ta fram en ny beräkningsmodell av schablonbeloppet för assistansersättningen« — new calculation model standard amount“Draw up a new calculation model of the standard amount for assistance compensation”

The election manifesto explicitly wants to promote Swedish biofuel production and reduce the use of imported, environmentally harmful, and expensive biodiesel. The counter-proposal's demand for policy tools that increase domestic production and strengthen self-sufficiency in fossil-free fuels directly responds to this and to the plan's commitments on increased self-sufficiency and reduced dependence on energy imports. That forest raw materials shall be refined into fuels is also an explicit ambition in the plan.

»Främja svensk biobränsleproduktion« — Swedish biofuel production“Promote Swedish biofuel production”

The election manifesto requires reduced diesel tax for agriculture and forestry and that taxes and fees be reduced while national funding within the agricultural support system is raised. The counter-proposal's requirement for a permanent reduction that transitions to an agricultural allowance for all fuels provides exactly the long-term improved conditions the plan seeks. The plan explicitly links this to agricultural competitiveness and Sweden's self-sufficiency in food.

»Sänka skatten på diesel för jord- och skogsbruket och den allmänna löneavgiften« — reduced diesel tax for agriculture“Lower the tax on diesel for agriculture and forestry and the general payroll tax”

The election manifesto states that the transition to a more fossil-free society is promoted by active forestry and wants to develop new sustainable products from forest raw materials such as fuels, building materials and textiles. The counter-proposal's demand that active and sustainable forestry be explicitly valued as the foundation for a growing bioeconomy is therefore exactly the plan's line. The plan also links biodiversity to active and productive forestry and values forest owners' right of use.

»Omställningen till ett mer fossilfritt samhälle främjas av ett aktivt skogsbruk.« — active forestry for transition“The transition to a more fossil-free society is promoted by active forestry.”

The election manifesto wants to provide compensation for adapted management of sensitive nature rather than for nature reserve establishment and states that forest conservation should be done on a voluntary basis and with fair compensation. The counter-proposal's demand for contractual arrangements where the landowner retains ownership in exchange for annual rent, conservation qualities as a sellable asset and more favorable taxation of compensation directly aligns with this and with the plan's commitment to strengthen property rights.

»ge ersättning för anpassad skötsel av känslig natur snarare än för reservatsbildning« — compensation for management“provide compensation for adapted management of sensitive nature rather than for reserve establishment”

The plan establishes that approval processes for business and industry need to be streamlined and made faster and that predictability shall increase, since profitable investments require a predictable process. The counter-proposal's demand for continued streamlining of environmental review with maintained environmental requirements and legal security is the same commitment.

The plan establishes that adapted forestry shall be prioritised ahead of reserve designation and wants to increase the pace of work restoring the marine environment in the Baltic. The counter-proposal's demands for management and restoration of already protected areas, including eelgrass meadows, ahead of new reserves is the same prioritisation. The plan also demands that authorities work in community of interest with landowners.

The plan wants to invest in primary care with greater patient contact and a patient-responsible doctor to relieve acute and specialist care. It also requires that effective treatment measures such as talk therapy are offered to a greater degree and that treatment resources for mental ill-health are not limited to CAMHS. A national basic mandate with clear specialist competence and strengthened responsibility for mental health responds to these commitments.

»Satsningar på primärvården med större patientkontakt och samordning av en patientansvarig läkare kan avlasta akut- och specialistvården genom snabbare vård.« — strengthened primary care“Investments in primary care with greater patient contact and coordination by a patient-responsible doctor can relieve acute and specialist care through faster care.”

The plan wants to stop labour immigration to occupations that can be filled by domestic labour and introduce a proper labour market test, because low-skilled jobs should be able to be done by the unemployed who already live in Sweden. The counter-proposal's demands for raised wage floors, tightened sanctions and a needs-based system are the same line. The plan furthermore establishes that the government's announced proposals are far from sufficient.

»Stoppa arbetskraftsinvandring till yrken som kan tillgodoses av inhemsk arbetskraft« — stop for low-skilled immigration“Stop labour immigration to occupations that can be filled by domestic labour”

The plan wants to strengthen Swedish shipping, explicitly both for employment and training opportunities and because shipping is part of total defence. Powerful measures against the decline of the domestic merchant fleet thus directly respond to that commitment and to the plan's requirement for increased supply capability. Shipping is also pointed out as central to imports and exports.

»Vi behöver även stärka den svenska sjöfarten för att säkra arbets- och utbildningstillfällen men inte minst för att sjöfarten är en del av totalförsvaret.« — shipping as total defence“We also need to strengthen Swedish shipping to secure employment and training opportunities but not least because shipping is part of total defence.”

The election manifesto wants to strengthen European cooperation against Islamist organizations, hybrid threats, and terrorism and focus EU cooperation in the near term on cross-border crime. Obligation to inform other member states about weapons smuggling and radicalized persons is precisely the kind of operational cooperation the plan demands.

The plan wants to strengthen the Home Guard and voluntary defence organizations, described as important components for defence will and civil society resilience, and increase support to civil organizations with societal mandate. Clarifying organizations' role at heightened alert and improving civilian conditions for participation in training and education achieves this. The plan's principle that those enjoying freedom should also be prepared to defend it points in the same direction.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill också stärka Hemvärnet och frivilligorganisationer som utgör viktiga komponenter för försvarsviljan och civilsamhällets uthållighet.« — strengthened volunteer organizations“The Sweden Democrats also want to strengthen the Home Guard and voluntary organizations that constitute important components for defence will and civil society resilience.”

The plan wishes to significantly strengthen student health and points out school as an important arena for preventive measures, with strengthened counselor care and treatment expertise on site in schools. The counter-proposal's requirements for more counselors, school nurses and psychologists as well as digital expansion to reach students throughout the country are the same thing in substance. The plan explicitly links this to young people's mental health.

»Kraftigt förstärka elevhälsan« — significantly strengthened student health“Significantly strengthen student health”

The plan wants to make schools a safe haven through separate placement of students who commit crimes and establishes that the possibility of intervening with sharp measures against students who disrupt the working environment for others should be reviewed. The party programme gives well-behaved students' safety and study peace priority over disruptive students' needs, and zero tolerance for crime includes that crimes are investigated and prosecuted. Stricter obligations, expanded relocation options, and mandatory police reporting thus follow from the plan, which also addresses whether today's authority is sufficient.

»Skolan ska göras till en fristad genom särskild placering av kriminella elever och nolltolerans mot attribut med gängassociationer.« — placement of criminal students“The school shall be made a safe haven through separate placement of criminal students and zero tolerance for gang-associated attributes.”

The plan notes that a substantial facilities shortage leads to lack of training time and long distances for children and young people, and establishes that society should to a greater extent meet the need for sports facilities. State part-financing to municipalities for new construction and renovation is a direct way to do this. The counter-proposal's demands therefore align with the plan's commitment to increased sports participation across the population.

»Samhället bör i större utsträckning tillgodose behovet av idrottsanläggningar, främja föreningslivet och underlätta elitklubbar att bedriva verksamhet på en nivå som mäter sig i internationell konkurrens.« — society meets facility needs“Society should to a greater extent meet the need for sports facilities, promote associational life, and make it easier for elite clubs to conduct activities at a level that competes internationally.”

The plan wants to strengthen the possibility for persons with reduced work capacity to participate in working life based on individual circumstances and requires increased flexibility and individualisation in decisions. To make it easier to work and study while receiving activity or sickness compensation and to improve benefits in rehabilitation follows directly from that, as does the requirement for a better coordinated system so that individuals do not end up in the lurch. The committee's reasons for the preparation to be awaited are not addressed.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill stärka möjligheten för personer med nedsatt arbetsförmåga att delta i arbetslivet och i sysselsättning utifrån individuella förutsättningar.« — participation with reduced work capacity“Sweden Democrats want to strengthen the possibility for persons with reduced work capacity to participate in working life and in employment based on individual circumstances.”

The plan commits to significantly raising sentences, especially for gang criminals, and that sentences should be proportionate to the crime and provide crime victims with reparation. A doubled minimum sentence for serious weapons crime and aggravating circumstances for weapons use in serious violent crimes in public places follows directly from this.

The plan explicitly requires that social services, schools and the justice system be able to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage, that authorities' cooperation be improved and that procedural obstacles to increased prosecution be removed. The counter-proposal's demand that secrecy obstacles to information sharing about young people be removed expeditiously responds directly to this. The plan furthermore wants social services to be able to intervene earlier with forceful measures.

The plan explicitly requires expanded access to prison places both in and outside Sweden and substantial investments in police, prosecutors and prisons. Since criminal policy is to be reoriented to incarcerate criminals to a greater degree, prison capacity is a direct plan issue. The counter-proposal's demands for rapid measures against overcrowded prisons thereby align with the plan, and the plan addresses precisely the capacity issue the committee raises.

»Utöka tillgången på anstaltsplatser i och utanför Sverige« — more prison places“Expand access to prison places both in and outside Sweden”

The plan explicitly commits to working for regulatory simplification and relieving small enterprises' administrative burden, and states that unnecessary rules should be removed where the costs to businesses do not match the benefit. The counter-proposal's demands for reduced red tape and better conditions for enterprise correspond with this. The plan also explicitly wants to create conditions for new enterprise.

The plan undertakes to pursue regulatory simplification and relieve small businesses' administrative burden, and notes that despite years of ambitions, the regulatory burden has remained at high levels or increased.

The plan wants to re-establish general emergency stockpiles dimensioned for the entire population's needs and requires that self-sufficiency of medical material increases and can quickly be scaled up during prolonged disruptions. The counter-proposal's demand that emergency preparedness work is carried out successively as soon as possible, including storage obligations for municipalities and regions, directly responds to this.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill också återupprätta beredskapslager för att täcka kritiska behov som kan uppstå utifrån olika scenarier.« — re-established emergency stockpiles“The Sweden Democrats also want to re-establish emergency stockpiles to cover critical needs that may arise from various scenarios.”

The plan explicitly names a prohibition on lead in ammunition as an example of measures taken to make legal gun ownership difficult, and is highly critical of how the EU's weapons directive is implemented. The counter-proposal's warning of a broader EU-wide ban on lead in all ammunition and the demand for adequate alternatives before prohibition therefore coincide with the plan. The plan also wants to stop the witch hunt against hunters and legal gun owners.

The plan explicitly demands special crisis legislation that regulates how a crisis organisation shall coordinate society's measures and how extraordinary measures can be quickly implemented. The counter-proposal's picture of under-regulated crisis preparedness with principles that do not work effectively, and the demand for evaluation and revision for clearer direction, corresponds to this commitment. The plan also wants to improve central crisis management capacity.

The plan establishes that every journalist's, artist's and citizen's right to express themselves freely without threats or reprisals should be valued and strengthened, and sees free debate as hindered by structures and politics. Continuing and completing the action plan against threats and hate against journalists, elected officials and artists is the same commitment, supported by the plan's demand for significantly increased sentences for crimes against the person.

»Varje journalists, konstutövares och medborgares rätt att uttrycka sig fritt utan att utsättas för hot eller repressalier ska värnas och stärkas.« — protection for free expression“Every journalist's, artist's and citizen's right to express themselves freely without being subjected to threats or reprisals should be valued and strengthened.”

The plan makes increased Swedish food self-sufficiency an explicit goal and requires that self-sufficiency in energy, food and medical material increases and can be rapidly scaled up during prolonged disruptions. Introducing supply security and supply capacity as its own strategic area in the food strategy implements this commitment. The plan also requires planning for various types of major crises.

The plan explicitly wants to prohibit export and import of live animals for slaughter precisely to reduce painful transports, and establishes that animals' legal protection shall be strengthened. The counter-proposal's demands for stricter rules for animal transport are thus the plan's own line. The plan moreover connects high animal protection with competitiveness and wants Swedish animal husbandry standards to become EU standard.

»Förbud av export och import av levande djur för slakt bör också införas för att minska plågsamma transporter och säkerställa att dålig djurhållning inte blir en konkurrensfördel.« — stricter rules for animal transport“Prohibitions on export and import of live animals for slaughter should also be introduced to reduce painful transports and ensure that poor animal husbandry does not become a competitive advantage.”

The plan has explicit commitments about more care beds, better working conditions in care services and increased occupational health services in female-dominated professions. The counter-proposal's demand for a prompt broad review of the working environment in healthcare and of occupational health services, with continued reporting, is thereby the plan's own line. The plan says nothing, however, about the committee's reasons that the government's report fulfils reporting requirements and that the matter can be concluded.

The plan makes the fight against segregation and oppressive honour culture a central commitment and establishes that integration policy has so far failed despite extensive costs. The counter-proposal's requirement for additional measures against segregation and its connection to patriarchal values thereby aligns with the plan.

The plan states that benefit systems that lock women to the home should be countered and that integration policy should be demand-based with a swift path to work. The counter-proposal's requirement that authorities make the same demands on women as on men and that benefits are paid to both parties is thus a direct application of the plan's commitments. The plan is silent on the committee's reasoning that ongoing government assignments already suffice.

The election manifesto explicitly establishes that the Swedish model is threatened by EU proposals on wage formation, unemployment insurance and social safety nets and that Swedish control over the labour market model must be secured. The counter-proposal's demands that decisions be made nationally and that the government act against EU legislation threatening the model are thereby the plan's own line. The plan is however silent on the committee's procedural reason that broad consensus makes a new initiative unnecessary.

»Men den svenska modellen hotas för närvarande av förslag från EU om gemensamma regler för lönebildning, arbetslöshetsersättning och det sociala skyddsnätet.« — EU threatens Swedish model“But the Swedish model is currently threatened by proposals from the EU on common rules for wage formation, unemployment insurance and the social safety net.”

The counter-proposal wants military and civil defence together to have such strength, readiness and endurance that others are deterred from attacking Swedish territory. The plan specifies exactly this goal: a defence capability that deters war and a restored total defence with long-term financing of at least two per cent of GDP. The plan also emphasizes popular support through the Home Guard and voluntary organizations.

»Målet är en krigsavhållande försvarsförmåga med kapacitet att möta främmande aggressioner, men som också kan bistå samhället i kris eller oro.« — war-deterring defence“The goal is a defence capability that deters war with capacity to meet foreign aggression, but which can also assist society in crisis or unrest.”

The counter-proposal wants civil defence to be built to meet the demands of war and include population protection, healthcare, transport, warehousing and production. The plan requires that emergency stocks be re-established and dimensioned for the needs of the entire population, that Sweden's self-sufficiency in critical goods be increased and that appropriations for civil defence and war leadership be increased. The counter-proposal's breadth is precisely the ambition the plan articulates.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill också återupprätta beredskapslager för att täcka kritiska behov som kan uppstå utifrån olika scenarier.« — re-established emergency stocks“Sweden Democrats also want to re-establish emergency stocks to cover critical needs that may arise from various scenarios.”

The counter-proposal wants to mark that member states retain tax rights, oppose further EU taxes and that rule-of-law requirements for recovery fund funds are applied effectively. The plan explicitly demands that power transfers and EU taxes are stopped and views new EU taxes and increased EU control over economic policy very negatively. Such a marking is therefore exactly what the plan demands.

»Stoppa maktöverföringar och EU-skatter« — no EU taxes“Stop power transfers and EU taxes”

The counter-proposal wants to change the goal to economic security during illness and effective investment in return to work, because today's goal has contributed to tightening. The plan explicitly states that a direction aimed at reducing the number on sick leave has led to unsustainable benefit denials, and requires a secure and legally sound sickness insurance with more resources for preventive work and rehabilitation. The goal formulation in the counter-proposal is precisely the plan's direction.

»Detta tillsammans med en styrning från regeringen som fokuserat på att spara på kostnader genom få ner antalet med sjukpenning har lett ohållbara utförsäkringar.« — criticism of tightened sickness insurance“This together with government steering focused on saving costs by reducing the number on sick leave has led to unsustainable benefit denials.”

The plan explicitly requires that the number of hospital beds be fundamentally increased, that healthcare queues be abolished through a proper care guarantee and that security for healthcare staff be increased. The counter-proposal's demand for permanent state support, a national goal and a sustained investment in working environment and more hospital beds align directly with this. The plan furthermore recommends that the state to a greater extent take over primary responsibility for healthcare.

»Sverigedemokraterna vill också i grunden öka antalet vårdplatser för att klara det växande behovet av sjukhusvård.« — more hospital beds“Sweden Democrats also wants to fundamentally increase the number of hospital beds to meet the growing need for hospital care.”
