Katarina Luhr becomes the new climate policy spokesperson for the Green Party, reports Expressen.

The Green Party top Elin Söderberg suddenly resigned last autumn after "inappropriate behavior" at an after-party in connection with the party's municipal and regional days in Borås. Since then, the party has been without a climate policy spokesperson.

The task feels "both fun and honorable", says Luhr to the newspaper. When asked how much the scandal surrounding the after-party in Borås has damaged the party, Luhr responds:

It's hard to say. I think it was handled quickly. Elin resigned very quickly, so I hope it hasn't damaged us too much.

From 2014 to 2022, Luhr was the environmental and climate mayor in Stockholm. In 2022, she was elected to the Riksdag.
