Background & Purpose

An official audit showed that the Swedish state has not been working effectively enough to protect individuals facing threats.

Proposals & Debate

The government presented an account of ongoing and planned measures, while opposition parties submitted motions with additional demands for better protection.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament acknowledged the government's report and closed the matter, choosing to rely on ongoing agency work rather than adopting the opposition's proposals.
