She's actually quite controversial. She campaigned on fighting climate change and now she's a lame duck minister in a far-right cabinet dismantling Sweden's climate policies.

This is one victory she got I guess, but theres tons of nature protections and carbon taxes being dismantled right now.

Oh that's a shame:( Her wikipedia page didn't mention that

Apparently they lied about this whole proposal altogether now. The green party in opposition and various climate lobby groups are complaining that the proposal that the far-right government are presenting doesn't actually ban bottom fishing at all.
