It’s always the same with these right-wing fuckers all over the globe - strong resistance to renewable energy and EV adoption, etc is - in my opinion - part of the very fabric of both the extremist right-wing AFD as well as of the centrist right-wing CDU in Germany as well…
…Not to mention the liberal-conservative FDP, which didn’t do shit but play opposition within government (current coalition in Germany: Social democrats, Green Party + FDP) for the last two years…
What exactly do your extremists currently do / propose legislation wise with regard to Sweden’s GHG emissions?
The main issue from the right-wing in Sweden has been the racist and anti-humanrights rhetoric. The policies so far haven’t been too extreme, luckily, aside from some disastrous spending cuts.
The biggest climate policy impact has been a populustic slashing of petrol taxes, and removing biofuel mandates. Reducing petrol prices by 10% at the cost of completely missing our climate goals.
The Swedish right has also been blocking wind turbine construction permits which has been pretty terrible.
