Climate and Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (L) withdrew her statement that the climate action plan may not come until next year.
According to information to Aftonbladet, L-leader Johan Pehrson’s staff was taken to bed by the plot.
– They were frustrated because what she said was not true, says a source.
Climate and Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari’s appearance on TV4’s morning show on Friday brought unexpected news.
The Prime Minister made it clear that the climate action plan that the government must present by law this year may not be ready at all before the turn of the year.
– For me, the important thing is that I feel satisfied and happy before I am willing to move on, said Romina Pourmokhtari and replied that it is “not certain” that the plan will come this year.
According to information to Aftonbladet, however, it is very close to the plan now being ready.
“Became frustrated”
According to informants, Pourmokhtari’s actions on TV4 have taken the Liberals’ party leadership to bed. The play must also have created irritation and frustration in party leader Johan Pehrson’s staff.
– They were frustrated because what she said was not true. They had no idea she would say that, says a source.
Both the Center Party and the Green Party chose to report the minister to KU due to the statement.
After the notifications, Romina Pourmokhtari turned around and stated that the climate action plan will be presented before the turn of the year.
“Claimed by her press staff”
According to a person with insight, the outcome must have been a mistake, where Romina Pourmokhtari simply mixed up different parts of the climate law.
That she later chose to back down but at the same time attack C and MP and accuse the parties of “political games”, is seen internally as a failure in crisis management and an unnecessary attempt to shuffle the cards.
– It’s rude of her press staff. But it is becoming a habit now that you resort to spin, says a source.
