- For centuries, these five principles have protected people from the abuse of power and laid the foundations for free societies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power should be under the law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1215, the King of England was forced to accept that he too was under the law. Magna Carta<\/em> became the starting point for legal certainty and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Sweden, we have gone in the opposite direction. Civil servant liability was abolished in 1976, which means that government decisions that harm citizens rarely lead to liability for the person who made the decision. The consequences are that errors and abuse of power are allowed to pass. When the powerful can be above the law, the rule of law ceases to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambition Sverige wants to reintroduce real civil servant accountability. The law should apply to everyone - including those who exercise power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protection against arbitrary detention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The principle of Habeas Corpus<\/em> protects people from being imprisoned or persecuted without legal grounds. But in Sweden today, we see how the judiciary is used politically. One example is the case of Julian Assange, where Swedish authorities kept him in legal limbo for a decade, not because of the crime, but for political reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambition Sverige wants to protect people from arbitrary detention. No one should be persecuted for their political beliefs, and any deprivation of liberty should be reviewed by an independent court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good of the people and the nation first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Principles virtue<\/em> - that always<\/em> putting the good of the nation and the people before personal gain - has disappeared in Sweden. A clear example is energy policy, where fully functioning nuclear power was shut down for political reasons, leading to skyrocketing electricity prices for households and businesses. Instead of long-term responsibility, short-term positioning was chosen, and the people paid the price. When power puts itself before the people, the foundations of democracy are undermined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambition Sverige wants to re-establish the principle of putting the people and the nation first. Decisions should always serve the good of the nation, not power plays, careers or international interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

International law is based on three fundamental principles: sovereignty, self-determination and non-interference. These were created to protect states from external control and secure peace. But in today's Sweden, we see how these principles are increasingly disregarded. Through NATO, DCA, DSA, eIDAS 2.0, digital Euro, ChatControl and the EU, we are giving foreign powers far-reaching influence over our territory and our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, our own laws, such as the FRA Act, risk opening the door to mass surveillance and restrictions on privacy and freedom of expression. When the state eavesdrops on the people, democracy is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweden will respect the sovereignty of other states and demand respect for our own. Neither foreign states nor international organisations should control our policies, our security or our territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human rights - even in old age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Human rights are not only about freedom of expression and privacy, but also about the right to a safe old age and healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw how these rights were jeopardised. Thousands of elderly people did not get access to the care they needed. Instead, they received palliative care, often without prior contact with a doctor. This was not a misunderstanding! It was a systemic failure where an entire generation was treated as a burden, not as people with the right to life and dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambition Sverige will work for:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • To re-establish these five principles in Sweden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Reintroducing real accountability for politicians and civil servants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • To defend Sweden's sovereignty and self-determination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Building a state that actually protects its citizens - not a power that protects itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
