Sweden's newly appointed Minister for Culture, Amanda Lind, has already stirred controversy in an Instagram post praising former Housing Minister Mehmet Kaplan, calling him a “pioneer” and “hero."
Kaplan was forced to resign after it was revealed he had connections to fascist and Islamist organisations. He has compared Israel's treatment of Palestinians to the Nazis, drawing condemnation from Israel.
Lind, derided by her opponents as a "hippie lunatic" and "extremist," later apologized and said she did not approve of all his statements, but was only listing him in the post as among other Green Party leaders of the past who paved the way for her.
