Ebba Busch

Not rated

Ebba Busch became the Christian Democrats' first female leader in April 2015 (SVT (opens in a new tab)). In July 2021 she admitted gross defamation of an elderly man's lawyer in a dispute over a house she was buying, accepting a suspended sentence and fines while still insisting she had acted correctly (SVT (opens in a new tab)). In October 2022 she co-signed the Tidö agreement that made Ulf Kristersson's government dependent on the Sweden Democrats (SVT (opens in a new tab)). Bottom line: a values politician with a criminal conviction who opened the door to the nationalist right.
