Civil liberties network says in states where far-right parties influence power, rule-of-law deterioration risks becoming systemic

In Sweden, some of the policies about to be implemented, being evaluated, and lauded:
- search zones; temporary zones where the police don’t need suspicion before a search of someone. This while a report came out recently which shows that when it comes to drug possession, the police does this to immigrants anyway, basically.
- improper behavour should get you deported. You would not have to commit a crime to get deported. Just “improper behaviour” should be enough. In comments, politicians commenting the implementation of this law has said that being a victim of a crime should be qualifying for this law, like assaulted.
- no politics at universities. In an extreme anti free speech effort a swedish university banned “any conversation that can be interpreted as political by anyone hearing the conversation”. The minister for higher education, a member of the liberal party, praised the measures taken by the university. The policy was removed after a few days (it has been suspected that the policy was put in place to prevent a protest organized by a peace organization against an israeli weapons manufacturer that was invited to the uni.). The universities are still being threatened to with an investigation to root out “wokeism”.
- whole families of children commiting gang related crimes should be evicted from their homes.
- public servants should be required by law to rat out children from families who may not have all their papers in order. Doctors, nurses, teachers, librarians, and similar, it has been proposed, should be required to tell the police if they suspect a family, so that they can be deported.
Time for civilian rearmament before they start creating camps and giving free train rides to the undesirables.
The far-right part that now supports the government, some of the inner circle joind the part when they were famous for being a very active neo-nazi group, the current party leader joined the party like 2 years after the party were demonstrating support for a racist massmuderer in sweden, and there is a photo of one of them embracing a literal nazi SS veteran. A party front figure also around the last election basically called Anne Frank “horniness itself” in an instagrampost while listening to Kanye (after the whole ‘deathcon 3’ stuff), and during the election night said basically the swedish version of ‘seig heil’, but substituted ‘heil’ for the swedish word for ‘weekend’. One of the parties of the current government promissed a holocaust survivor to never collaborate with this party, but she died before the election, so now they lie about that promise. Anyway…
Last election, that party, with connections to literal SS nazis from germany, covered subway trains in their party colors and said about the trains: "Welcome to the deportation train. You have a one-way ticket. Next stop, Kabul”.
They sound lovely, and exactly like the type of people you may need to greet with lead one day. Politicians have no incentive for honour or morals, they must be kept in check, they will always find lackeys to do the worst atrocities imaginable.
Sure, rearmament is a good idea. But rather than fearing the state, people are arming themselves in protection against organized crime networks run by first and second generation immigrants that are running wild.
wtf that is super messed up and very wrong. I’m just thinking that people in my country would literally riot if the government tried to implement changes like this. But then again the governments always introduce these types of laws in very sneaky ways in order for people not to take notice.
You’d hope. The only one of these that sparked some protest was the one about public servants. Many unions protested that one, I think it was something like enough unions to represent 30% of the population or something. But what seems to be happening is that they’ll single out one group, like teachers, and excuse all others from the law, they are too weak to put up enough pressure by themselves. Then they go on to the next.
The rest no one really cares about. In a quite segregated society, search zones will not target many ethnic swedes. So they don’t care.
Then the largest opposition party is trying to trump the rightwing parties in how authoritarian and xenophobic they can be, so they mostly say nothing.
The good old divide and conquer. It’s frustrating that it always works so well everywhere.
EU rulers value stability no matter what, even if it costs repression of dissent. It seems more and more like Huxley’s dystopia: Community, Identity, Stability.
