Sweden's 26-year-old climate minister : Romina has been given a key role in the new
government, including leading the party's youth wing.
Romina Pormotori, a 26-year-old leader, has been appointed climate minister in Sweden's new
coalition government. There is much talk of Romina being given an important
ministry like environment. On the other hand, Greta Thunberg, who raised her
voice against climate change, is also a citizen of Sweden.
New Prime Minister
Ulf Kistersson announced the cabinet nominations on Tuesday. A right-wing
coalition won Sweden's recent elections. Romina was earlier the chief of the
party's youth wing.
Member of the Liberal
Party
• According to
Swedish media, Romina joined the youth wing of the Liberal Party several years
ago, but did not sit well with some of the people being made climate minister
in the new government, as Romina had never worked on the issue. Not only that,
there is no mention of climate related issues in their personal and
professional profiles.
• Apart from this,
another interesting thing is that Romina has criticized Prime Minister
Christerson many times. The Prime Minister belongs to the Sweden Democrats
party. He had opposed the alliance with the Democrats party some time ago.
• Two years ago,
Romina wrote on social media – The Democrat Party can run without Kisterson,
but if he joins the party, we should stay away from the coalition.
• Romina is of
Iranian origin
• He raised this
issue before world leaders by mobilizing millions of youth against climate
change.
• Crime rate highest
He promised to get
tough on immigration. Along with this, he also talked about stopping crime.
• New posts are
allowed for the first time in Sweden's history. According to the Prime
Minister, crime rate has increased due to immigrants in the country. Ministry
of Civil Defense has been created for this purpose. However, one of the reasons
is the ongoing tension with Russia.
