<p>The Committee on Defence published two reports that together outline the next stage of Sweden's post-NATO-accession defence posture. Bet. 2025/26:FöU10, "Total Defence," consolidates the parliament's position on the comprehensive defence concept that integrates military and civilian preparedness. The companion report, FöU12, "Stronger Protection for the Civilian Population during Heightened Preparedness," dovetails with Proposition 2025/26:142, tabled by the Ministry of Defence on the same day—a coordinated move suggesting the government is engineering swift legislative passage.</p>
<p>The timing is no accident. With NATO membership now operational, Stockholm is under pressure to demonstrate that its civilian infrastructure can withstand the demands of alliance-level readiness. The proposition addresses shelter capacity, evacuation planning, and civil-military coordination—precisely the gaps that NATO's own assessments have highlighted for newer members. For the Kristersson government, closing these gaps before the 2026 general election is both a security imperative and a political one.</p>

<h2>外交委员会全力运转</h2>
<p>The Committee on Foreign Affairs (UU) delivered five reports in a single day—an unusual display of productivity that reflects the geopolitical pressures bearing down on Swedish diplomacy. UU6 on security policy and UU15 on the situation in Israel and Palestine are the headline items, but the supporting trio of UU4 (Nordic Cooperation, including the Arctic), UU9 (Strategic Export Control), and UU11 (OSCE) reveals the breadth of Stockholm's engagement.</p>
<p>The Israel-Palestine report arrives against a backdrop of shifting European positions on the conflict. Sweden, which recognised Palestine as a state in 2014, has navigated an increasingly fraught diplomatic path as the war in Gaza continues into 2026. The Nordic cooperation report, meanwhile, underscores how the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO has redrawn the strategic map of the High North.</p>
<p>Strategic export control (UU9) takes on particular significance given Sweden's defence industry exports and the ongoing debate over arms sales to conflict zones. The OSCE report (UU11) signals continued Swedish engagement with the organisation despite its diminished role following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.</p>

<h2>政府观察:立法齐射</h2>
<p>The government matched parliament's pace with six propositions. Beyond the civilian protection bill, three Justice Ministry proposals stand out. Prop. 2025/26:138, "A Special Criminal Provision for Psychological Violence," would create a standalone offence for patterns of coercive control—placing Sweden among the growing number of European nations criminalising non-physical domestic abuse. Prop. 2025/26:133 on strengthened security at public assemblies and events responds to the heightened threat environment, while Prop. 2025/26:146 reforms migration rules for researchers and doctoral students to combat permit abuse.</p>
<p>The Ministry of Employment's ratification of two ILO conventions (Prop. 2025/26:134)—on eliminating workplace violence and harassment, and on a safe and healthy working environment—reinforces the government's rights-and-security duality. The Ministry of Rural Affairs rounds out the package with Prop. 2025/26:135, improving implementation of the EU's Unfair Trading Practices Directive.</p>
<p>Yesterday's government press releases reveal continued momentum: the third instalment of the welfare reform on social insurance qualification, a new digital inclusion mandate, strengthened support for youth entrepreneurship, and the Foreign Minister's participation in the EU Foreign Affairs Council.</p>

<h2>反对党动态</h2>
<p>The opposition's footprint today is characterised by precision rather than volume. Socialdemokraterna's Azra Muranovic filed both a written question on Euratom Treaty Article 37—probing the government's nuclear waste notification obligations—and an interpellation on paratransit services, pressing Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson (KD) on the Trafikanalys reform proposals.</p>
<p>Centerpartiet's focus on infrastructure damage from the Västernorrland cloudbursts of 2025 (two written questions from Anne-Li Sjölund and Ulrika Heie) highlights rural vulnerability—a theme the party has consistently leveraged against the government's urban-centric agenda.</p>

<h2>反对党动态</h2>
<p>The opposition's footprint today is characterised by precision rather than volume. Socialdemokraterna's Azra Muranovic filed both a written question on Euratom Treaty Article 37—probing the government's nuclear waste notification obligations—and an interpellation on paratransit services, pressing Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson (KD) on the Trafikanalys reform proposals.</p>
<p>Centerpartiet's focus on infrastructure damage from the Västernorrland cloudbursts of 2025 (two written questions from Anne-Li Sjölund and Ulrika Heie) highlights rural vulnerability—a theme the party has consistently leveraged against the government's urban-centric agenda.</p>
<p>国防委员会当天发布了两份报告,共同勾勒出瑞典在加入北约之后下一阶段的防务姿态。Bet. 2025/26:FöU10《全面防卫》(Total Defence)巩固了议会对“全面防卫”概念的立场,即将军事与民用准备工作整合为一个整体。配套报告 FöU12《在高度戒备期间为平民提供更强保护》(Stronger Protection for the Civilian Population during Heightened Preparedness)则与同日由国防部提交的政府法案 Proposition 2025/26:142 紧密衔接——这种同步安排表明,政府正有意为相关立法开辟快速通道。</p>
<p>这一时间点绝非巧合。随着北约成员资格全面生效,斯德哥尔摩面临压力,必须证明其民用基础设施能够承受联盟级别战备对社会的要求。该法案聚焦避难所容量、疏散预案以及军民协同等问题——这些正是北约在评估新成员时一再指出的薄弱环节。对于克里斯特松政府而言,在 2026 年大选前弥补这些缺口,既是安全上的当务之急,也是政治上的必然选择。</p>
<h2>外交委员会全力运转</h2>
<p>外交委员会(UU)在一天之内通过了五份报告——这种少见的高产反映出当前地缘政治压力正集中作用于瑞典外交。围绕安全政策的 UU6 与聚焦以色列和巴勒斯坦局势的 UU15 是最受瞩目的两份报告,但 UU4(北欧合作,包括北极地区)、UU9(战略出口管制)和 UU11(欧洲安全与合作组织 OSCE)这三份“配角”则展示了斯德哥尔摩参与议题的广度。</p>
<p>关于以色列—巴勒斯坦的报告是在欧洲各国对这一冲突立场不断调整的背景下出台的。早在 2014 年就承认巴勒斯坦为国家的瑞典,在加沙战争延续进入 2026 年的过程中,一直在日益紧张的外交路径上小心前行。与此同时,关于北欧合作的报告则凸显出,随着芬兰和瑞典加入北约,北极及“高北地区”的战略版图已经被彻底改写。</p>
<p>鉴于瑞典在防务工业出口方面的分量,以及围绕向冲突地区出售武器的持续争论,战略出口管制(UU9)具有特别重要的意义。关于欧安组织的报告(UU11)则表明,尽管该组织在俄罗斯对乌克兰发动全面侵略后整体作用有所削弱,瑞典仍希望保持对其的积极参与。</p>
<h2>政府观察:立法齐射</h2>
<p>政府以六项法案的节奏紧跟议会。除民防和平民保护法案外,司法部提出的三项提案尤为醒目。Proposition 2025/26:138《心理暴力的特别刑事规定》(A Special Criminal Provision for Psychological Violence)拟将“控制与胁迫”模式设定为独立罪名,使瑞典跻身于日益增多的、将非身体性家庭暴力入罪化的欧洲国家之列。Proposition 2025/26:133 则着眼于加强公共集会和活动的安全,以应对日益严峻的威胁态势;Proposition 2025/26:146 则通过改革研究人员和博士生的移民规则,打击滥用居留许可的行为。</p>
<p>就业部通过 Proposition 2025/26:134 批准了两项国际劳工组织(ILO)公约——一项关于消除工作场所暴力和骚扰,另一项关于安全与健康的工作环境——进一步强化了政府同时强调“权利”与“安全”的双重定位。乡村事务部则以 Proposition 2025/26:135 收尾,着眼于改进欧盟《不公平贸易行为指令》(Unfair Trading Practices Directive)在瑞典的落实。</p>
<p>前一日发布的政府新闻公报显示改革势头仍在延续:包括关于社会保险资格的福利改革第三阶段、一项新的数字包容任务、加强对青年创业的支持,以及外长出席欧盟对外事务理事会等举措。</p>
<h2>反对党动态</h2>
<p>反对党的存在感今日更体现为“点到为止”的精准操作,而非数量上的堆砌。社会民主党(Socialdemokraterna)的 Azra Muranovic 同时提交了一份关于《欧共体原子能条约》第 37 条(Euratom Treaty Article 37)的书面质询——追问政府在核废料通报义务方面的履行情况——以及一份关于辅助交通(paratransit)服务的质询,向基础设施大臣 Andreas Carlson(基民党 KD)施压,要求其就 Trafikanalys 提出的改革建议作出回应。</p>
<p>中间党(Centerpartiet)则将火力集中在 2025 年韦斯特诺尔兰(Västernorrland)暴雨导致的基础设施损毁问题上;Anne-Li Sjölund Ulrika Heie 提交的两份书面质询,凸显了农村地区在极端天气面前的脆弱性——这是该党长期用来对抗政府“城市中心化”议程的一条主线叙事。</p>

<p>Centerpartiet's focus on infrastructure damage from the Västernorrland cloudbursts of 2025 (two written questions from Anne-Li Sjölund and Ulrika Heie) highlights rural vulnerability—a theme the party has consistently leveraged against the government's urban-centric agenda.</p>
<p>Forsvarskomiteen la frem to betenkninger som samlet tegner opp neste fase i Sveriges forsvarsholdning etter NATO-innmeldingen. Bet. 2025/26:FöU10, «Totalförsvaret», samler Riksdagens posisjon om det helhetlige totalforsvarskonseptet som binder sammen militær og sivil beredskap. Søsterbetenkningen, FöU12, «Stärkt skydd för den civila befolkningen under höjd beredskap», er tett koordinert med proposisjon 2025/26:142 fra Forsvarsdepartementet – fremlagt samme dag – noe som tyder på at regjeringen legger opp til en rask lovgivningsprosess.</p>
<p>Timing er ingen tilfeldighet. Med NATO-medlemskapet nå operativt er Stockholm under press for å vise at den sivile infrastrukturen tåler kravene fra alliansens beredskapsnivå. Proposisjonen tar for seg tilgangen på tilfluktsrom, evakueringsplanlegging og samordningen mellom sivile og militære aktører – nettopp de hullene NATOs egne vurderinger har pekt på hos nyere medlemsland. For Kristersson-regjeringen er det å tette disse hullene før riksdagsvalget i 2026 både et sikkerhetspolitisk og et politisk imperativ.</p>
<h2>Utenrikskomiteen i høygir</h2>
<p>Utenrikskomiteen (UU) leverte fem betenkninger på én dag – en uvanlig høy produksjon som speiler det geopolitiske presset på svensk diplomati. UU6 om sikkerhetspolitikk og UU15 om situasjonen i Israel og Palestina er de tydeligste overskriftene, men støttetrekløveret UU4 (nordisk samarbeid, inkludert Arktis), UU9 (strategisk eksportkontroll) og UU11 (OSSE) viser hvor bredt Stockholm nå er engasjert.</p>
<p>Betenkningen om Israel–Palestina kommer mot et bakteppe av skiftende europeiske posisjoner i konflikten. Sverige, som anerkjente Palestina som stat allerede i 2014, har måttet navigere et stadig mer krevende diplomatisk landskap mens krigen i Gaza fortsetter inn i 2026. Betenkningen om nordisk samarbeid understreker samtidig hvordan Finlands og Sveriges NATO-medlemskap har tegnet om det sikkerhetspolitiske kartet i nordområdene.</p>
<p>Den strategiske eksportkontrollen (UU9) får særlig tyngde med tanke på svensk forsvarsindustri og den pågående debatten om våpeneksport til konfliktområder. OSSE-betenkningen (UU11) markerer dessuten et fortsatt svensk engasjement i organisasjonen, til tross for dens svekkede rolle etter Russlands fullskala-invasjon av Ukraina.</p>
<h2>Regjeringsvakt: En lovgivningsmessig salve</h2>
<p>Regjeringen matchet Riksdagens tempo med seks proposisjoner. Ved siden av lovforslaget om sivilbeskyttelse peker tre Justisdepartementsforslag seg ut. Prop. 2025/26:138, «En særskilt straffebestemmelse om psykisk vold», innfører en egen straffebestemmelse for mønstre av kontroll og tvang – og plasserer Sverige blant det økende antallet europeiske land som kriminaliserer ikke-fysisk vold i nære relasjoner. Prop. 2025/26:133 om styrket sikkerhet ved offentlige sammenkomster og arrangementer svarer på et skjerpet trusselbilde, mens Prop. 2025/26:146 strammer inn migrasjonsreglene for forskere og doktorgradsstudenter for å motvirke misbruk av oppholdstillatelser.</p>
<p>Arbetsmarknadsdepartementets forslag om ratifikasjon av to ILO-konvensjoner (Prop. 2025/26:134) – om å bekjempe vold og trakassering i arbeidslivet og om et trygt og sunt arbeidsmiljø – understreker regjeringens kombinasjon av rettighets- og sikkerhetsperspektiv. Landsbygdsdepartementet kompletterer pakken med Prop. 2025/26:135, som skal forbedre gjennomføringen av EUs direktiv om urimelige handelspraksiser i jordbruks- og næringsmiddelkjeden.</p>
<p>Gårdagens pressemeldinger fra regjeringen viser at tempoet fortsetter: tredje trinn i velferdsreformen om opptjening til sosiale forsikringer, et nytt oppdrag om digital inkludering, styrket støtte til ungt entreprenørskap og utenriksministerens deltakelse i EUs utenriksråd.</p>
<h2>Opposisjonsdynamikk</h2>
<p>Opposisjonens avtrykk i dag kjennetegnes mer av presisjon enn av volum. Socialdemokraternas Azra Muranovic har både stilt et skriftlig spørsmål om Euratom-traktatens artikkel 37 – der hun undersøker regjeringens varslingsplikt om kjerneavfall – og en interpellasjon om tilrettelagt transport, der hun presser infrastrukturminister Andreas Carlson (KD) Trafikanalys’ forslag til reform.</p>
<p>Centerpartiets fokus på infrastrukturskader etter de kraftige regnskyllene i Västernorrland i 2025 (to skriftlige spørsmål fra Anne-Li Sjölund og Ulrika Heie) løfter fram sårbarheten i distriktene – et tema partiet systematisk har brukt for å utfordre det de ser som regjeringens storbyorienterte agenda.</p>

<p>The timing is no accident. With NATO membership now operational, Stockholm is under pressure to demonstrate that its civilian infrastructure can withstand the demands of alliance-level readiness. The proposition addresses shelter capacity, evacuation planning, and civil-military coordination—precisely the gaps that NATO's own assessments have highlighted for newer members. For the Kristersson government, closing these gaps before the 2026 general election is both a security imperative and a political one.</p>

<h2>لجنة الشؤون الخارجية في أقصى نشاطها</h2>
<p>The Committee on Foreign Affairs (UU) delivered five reports in a single day—an unusual display of productivity that reflects the geopolitical pressures bearing down on Swedish diplomacy. UU6 on security policy and UU15 on the situation in Israel and Palestine are the headline items, but the supporting trio of UU4 (Nordic Cooperation, including the Arctic), UU9 (Strategic Export Control), and UU11 (OSCE) reveals the breadth of Stockholm's engagement.</p>
<p>The Israel-Palestine report arrives against a backdrop of shifting European positions on the conflict. Sweden, which recognised Palestine as a state in 2014, has navigated an increasingly fraught diplomatic path as the war in Gaza continues into 2026. The Nordic cooperation report, meanwhile, underscores how the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO has redrawn the strategic map of the High North.</p>
<p>Strategic export control (UU9) takes on particular significance given Sweden's defence industry exports and the ongoing debate over arms sales to conflict zones. The OSCE report (UU11) signals continued Swedish engagement with the organisation despite its diminished role following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.</p>

<h2>مراقبة الحكومة: وابل تشريعي</h2>
<p>The government matched parliament's pace with six propositions. Beyond the civilian protection bill, three Justice Ministry proposals stand out. Prop. 2025/26:138, "A Special Criminal Provision for Psychological Violence," would create a standalone offence for patterns of coercive control—placing Sweden among the growing number of European nations criminalising non-physical domestic abuse. Prop. 2025/26:133 on strengthened security at public assemblies and events responds to the heightened threat environment, while Prop. 2025/26:146 reforms migration rules for researchers and doctoral students to combat permit abuse.</p>
<p>The Ministry of Employment's ratification of two ILO conventions (Prop. 2025/26:134)—on eliminating workplace violence and harassment, and on a safe and healthy working environment—reinforces the government's rights-and-security duality. The Ministry of Rural Affairs rounds out the package with Prop. 2025/26:135, improving implementation of the EU's Unfair Trading Practices Directive.</p>
<p>Yesterday's government press releases reveal continued momentum: the third instalment of the welfare reform on social insurance qualification, a new digital inclusion mandate, strengthened support for youth entrepreneurship, and the Foreign Minister's participation in the EU Foreign Affairs Council.</p>

<h2>ديناميكيات المعارضة</h2>
<p>The opposition's footprint today is characterised by precision rather than volume. Socialdemokraterna's Azra Muranovic filed both a written question on Euratom Treaty Article 37—probing the government's nuclear waste notification obligations—and an interpellation on paratransit services, pressing Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson (KD) on the Trafikanalys reform proposals.</p>
<p>Centerpartiet's focus on infrastructure damage from the Västernorrland cloudbursts of 2025 (two written questions from Anne-Li Sjölund and Ulrika Heie) highlights rural vulnerability—a theme the party has consistently leveraged against the government's urban-centric agenda.</p>

<p>هذا التوقيت ليس مصادفة. فمع دخول عضوية السويد في حلف الناتو حيّز التنفيذ عملياً، تتعرّض ستوكهولم لضغط متزايد لإثبات أن بنيتها التحتية المدنية قادرة على تحمّل متطلبات الجاهزية على مستوى الحلف. تتناول هذه المبادرة البرلمانية قدرة الملاجئ، وخطط الإخلاء، والتنسيق المدني‑العسكري؛ وهي بالضبط الفجوات التي أشارت إليها تقييمات الناتو ذاتها لدى الدول الأعضاء الأحدث. بالنسبة لحكومة كريسترشون، فإن سد هذه الفجوات قبل انتخابات 2026 العامة يُعد ضرورة أمنية وسياسية في آن واحد.</p>
<h2>لجنة الشؤون الخارجية في أقصى نشاطها</h2>
<p>قدّمت لجنة الشؤون الخارجية (UU) خمسة تقارير في يوم واحد فقط، في مستوى غير معتاد من الإنتاجية يعكس حجم الضغوط الجيوسياسية الواقعة على الدبلوماسية السويدية. يشكّل التقرير UU6 حول السياسة الأمنية والتقرير UU15 حول الوضع في إسرائيل وفلسطين العناوين الأبرز، لكن الثلاثي المساند UU4 (التعاون الشمالي، بما في ذلك القطب الشمالي)، وUU9 (مراقبة الصادرات الاستراتيجية)، وUU11 (منظمة الأمن والتعاون في أوروبا OSCE) يكشف اتساع نطاق انخراط ستوكهولم.</p>
<p>يصدر تقرير إسرائيل‑فلسطين في سياق تحوّل المواقف الأوروبية إزاء النزاع. فالسويد، التي اعترفت بدولة فلسطين عام 2014، تسير في مسار دبلوماسي يزداد تعقيداً مع استمرار الحرب في غزة حتى عام 2026. أما تقرير التعاون الشمالي فيؤكد كيف أعادت عضوية فنلندا والسويد في الناتو رسم الخريطة الاستراتيجية في أقصى الشمال الأوروبي.</p>
<p>تكتسب مراقبة الصادرات الاستراتيجية (UU9) أهمية خاصة في ضوء صادرات الصناعات الدفاعية السويدية والنقاش الدائر حول مبيعات الأسلحة إلى مناطق النزاع. أما تقرير منظمة الأمن والتعاون في أوروبا (UU11) فيشير إلى استمرار انخراط السويد في المنظمة رغم تراجع دورها بعد الغزو الروسي الشامل لأوكرانيا.</p>
<h2>مراقبة الحكومة: وابل تشريعي</h2>
<p>واكبت الحكومة إيقاع البرلمان بستة مقترحات حكومية (Propositioner). وإلى جانب مشروع قانون الحماية المدنية، تبرز ثلاثة مقترحات من وزارة العدل بشكل خاص. فالمقترح 2025/26:138 «حكم جنائي خاص بالعنف النفسي» ينشئ جريمة مستقلة لأنماط السيطرة القسرية، ليضع السويد ضمن مجموعة متزايدة من الدول الأوروبية التي تُجرّم العنف غير الجسدي في محيط العائلة. أما المقترح 2025/26:133 حول تعزيز الأمن في التجمعات والفعاليات العامة فيستجيب لمستوى التهديد المرتفع، في حين يُصلح المقترح 2025/26:146 قواعد الهجرة للباحثين وطلبة الدكتوراه للحد من إساءة استخدام تصاريح الإقامة.</p>
<p>ويعزّز تصديق وزارة العمل على اتفاقيتين لمنظمة العمل الدولية ILO (المقترح 2025/26:134) — بشأن القضاء على العنف والتحرّش في مكان العمل، وبشأن بيئة عمل آمنة وصحية — الصورة المزدوجة للحكومة بين الحقوق والأمن. وتستكمل وزارة الشؤون الريفية الحزمة بالمقترح 2025/26:135 لتحسين تنفيذ توجيه الاتحاد الأوروبي بشأن الممارسات التجارية غير العادلة في سلاسل الإمداد الغذائية.</p>
<p>وتُظهر البيانات الصحفية الحكومية الصادرة بالأمس استمرار الزخم: الجزء الثالث من إصلاح منظومة الرفاه المتعلق بشروط استحقاق التأمينات الاجتماعية، وتفويض جديد لتعزيز الشمول الرقمي، ودعم أقوى لريادة الأعمال بين الشباب، إلى جانب مشاركة وزيرة الخارجية في اجتماع مجلس الشؤون الخارجية للاتحاد الأوروبي.</p>
<h2>ديناميكيات المعارضة</h2>
<p>يَتّسم حضور المعارضة اليوم بالدقة أكثر من الكم. فقد قدّمت أزرا مورانوفيتش من حزب Socialdemokraterna أيضاً سؤالاً كتابياً حول المادة 37 من معاهدة Euratom، تستوضح فيه التزامات الحكومة بشأن الإخطار عن النفايات النووية، إضافة إلى استجواب (interpellation) حول خدمات النقل التكميلية لذوي الإعاقة، تضغط فيه على وزير البنية التحتية أندرياس كارلسون (KD) بشأن مقترحات الإصلاح الصادرة عن Trafikanalys.</p>
<p>ويركّز حزب Centerpartiet على أضرار البنية التحتية الناجمة عن العواصف الممطرة الشديدة في مقاطعة Västernorrland عام 2025، من خلال سؤالين كتابيين من آن‑لي سيويولند وأولريكا هاييه؛ ما يسلط الضوء على هشاشة المناطق الريفية — وهي ثيمة دأب الحزب على توظيفها في مواجهة أجندة الحكومة التي تُتَّهم بأنها متمركزة حول المدن.</p>

<p>The Committee on Defence published two reports that together outline the next stage of Sweden's post-NATO-accession defence posture. Bet. 2025/26:FöU10, "Total Defence," consolidates the parliament's position on the comprehensive defence concept that integrates military and civilian preparedness. The companion report, FöU12, "Stronger Protection for the Civilian Population during Heightened Preparedness," dovetails with Proposition 2025/26:142, tabled by the Ministry of Defence on the same day—a coordinated move suggesting the government is engineering swift legislative passage.</p>

<p>国防委員会は、NATO加盟完了後のスウェーデンの次の防衛態勢を示す2つの報告書を公表した。Bet. 2025/26:FöU10Total Defence(総合防衛)」は、軍事・民生の備えを統合する総合防衛コンセプトについて、議会としての立場を整理・確認するものだ。対となる報告書 FöU12Stronger Protection for the Civilian Population during Heightened Preparedness(警戒態勢強化時における民間人保護の強化)」は、同じ日に国防省から提出された法案 Proposition 2025/26:142 と歩調を合わせており、政府が迅速な立法プロセスを意図的に設計していることをうかがわせる。</p>
<p>このタイミングは偶然ではない。NATO加盟が実務レベルで稼働し始めた今、ストックホルムには同盟全体の即応態勢に耐えうる民間インフラを示すことが求められているからだ。法案はシェルター収容能力、避難計画、軍民連携といった分野を対象としており、いずれもNATOが新規加盟国の弱点として指摘してきた領域である。クリステルソン政権にとって、2026年総選挙までにこれらのギャップを埋めることは、安全保障上の必須課題であると同時に、政治的な課題でもある。</p>
<h2>外交委員会がフル回転</h2>
<p>外交委員会(UU)はこの日だけで5本の報告書を提出した。これは異例の生産性であり、スウェーデン外交にのしかかる地政学的プレッシャーの強さを物語っている。安全保障政策を扱う UU6 と、イスラエル・パレスチナ情勢を扱う UU15 が目玉だが、UU4(北極圏を含む北欧協力)、UU9(戦略的輸出管理)、UU11OSCE)という3本の補完的な報告書を見ると、ストックホルムの関与領域の広さが浮かび上がる。</p>
<p>イスラエル・パレスチナ報告書は、紛争をめぐる欧州諸国の立場が揺れ動く中で提出された。2014年にパレスチナを国家として承認したスウェーデンは、ガザでの戦争が2026年まで続くなか、極めて困難な外交的綱渡りを強いられている。一方、北欧協力に関する報告書は、フィンランドとスウェーデンのNATO加盟によって「ハイ・ノース(北極圏・北欧極北地域)」の戦略地図が描き替えられたことを改めて強調する内容だ。</p>
<p>戦略的輸出管理(UU9)は、スウェーデンの防衛産業輸出と、紛争地域への武器輸出をめぐる議論が続く現状を踏まえると、特に大きな意味を持つ。また、OSCE に関する報告書(UU11)は、ロシアのウクライナへの全面侵攻以降、組織としての役割が低下したにもかかわらず、スウェーデンが引き続き同機構との関与を重視していることを示している。</p>
<h2>政府動向:立法の一斉射撃</h2>
<p>政府側も、議会に歩調を合わせる形で6本の法案(プロポジション)を提出した。民間防護に関する法案に加え、とりわけ注目されるのは法務省からの3本である。Prop. 2025/26:138A Special Criminal Provision for Psychological Violence(心理的暴力に関する特別な刑事規定)」は、継続的な支配行動(coercive control)のパターンを独立した犯罪類型として規定しようとするもので、非身体的なドメスティック・アビューズ(心理的DV等)を犯罪化する欧州諸国の潮流にスウェーデンも加わることになる。公共集会・イベントの安全強化を定める Prop. 2025/26:133 は高まる脅威環境への対応であり、Prop. 2025/26:146 は研究者・博士課程学生のための移民規則を見直し、在留許可制度の悪用を抑止することを狙っている。</p>
<p>雇用省による2つのILO条約批准(Prop. 2025/26:134)は、職場における暴力・ハラスメントの撤廃および安全で健康的な労働環境の確保を目的としたものであり、政府が「権利」と「安全保障」の二つの軸を同時に打ち出していることを補強する。さらに、農村問題担当省は Prop. 2025/26:135 により、EUの不公正取引慣行指令(Unfair Trading Practices Directive)の国内実施を改善し、この日の立法パッケージを締めくくった。</p>
<p>前日に発表された政府のプレスリリースを見ると、この流れが一過性ではないことがわかる。社会保険の受給資格をめぐる福祉改革の第3弾、新たなデジタル包摂(デジタル・インクルージョン)義務づけ、若者起業支援の強化、そして外相のEU外務理事会への参加など、改革と外交の両面で動きが続いている。</p>
<h2>野党の動き</h2>
<p>本日の野党側の動きは、量よりも「的の絞り方」が特徴的だ。社会民主労働党(Socialdemokraterna)のアズラ・ムラノヴィッチ議員は、政府の放射性廃棄物に関する通報義務をただす Euratom 条約第37条についての書面質問と、障害者向け補助交通(パラトランジット)サービスに関するインターペレーションを提出し、インフラ大臣アンドレアス・カールソン(キリスト教民主党、KD)に対して Trafikanalys の改革提案への見解を迫っている。</p>
<p>中央党(Centerpartiet)は、2025年のヴェステルノルランド県での集中豪雨によるインフラ被害に焦点を当てている。アンネ=リ・シェールンドとウルリカ・ヘイエの2名による書面質問は、地方の脆弱性を浮き彫りにするものであり、同党が政府の「都市中心の政策」に対抗するテーマとして一貫して打ち出してきた論点でもある。</p>
