Background & Purpose
During the autumn of 2025, many proposals were submitted regarding how to handle crimes and punishments. The parliament chose not to act on these because similar work is already underway in these areas.
The Decision
The parliament decided to say no to all 122 proposals, meaning that no new laws or changes to the criminal justice system were introduced.
Does this affect you?
- Legal professionals: Judges and lawyers will continue to work under existing legislation without any new directives from these specific proposals.
- General public: Citizens will not see any changes in how crimes are prosecuted or punished as a result of this specific parliamentary decision.
In Practice
- Current laws regarding crimes against persons and property remain unchanged.
- Sentencing rules and legal consequences for crimes stay exactly as they are today.
- The parliament will continue to rely on ongoing government work rather than the specific suggestions made in these motions.
