The Green Party announced on Wednesday afternoon that they are leaving the government because they can not accept the budget that was voted through.

Thus, Sweden's Minister of Culture Amanda Lind (MP) also leaves the government.

SVT Kulturnyheterna has sought her for an interview, but she does not comment at this time.

On Instagram, she writes that she is behind the decision.

"We are in government to push through climate and environmental policy.

for equality and equality, for free speech and free culture.

Not to implement an M-KD-SD budget ”.

The time as minister was marked by the pandemic

As Minister of Culture, Amanda Lind will above all be remembered as the one who got the pandemic in her lap, says Karin Olsson, who is head of culture at Expressen.

- She received a lot of criticism for late messages and that measures took too long.

But then she got rid of a lot of money and in some respects she can be said to have saved parts of cultural life.

So the picture is double of how she handled the corona, but it is without a doubt one of the biggest challenges a Minister of Culture has faced in decades.

The MP's time in the post of Minister of Culture is over

With Amanda Lind's resignation, it is also time to sum up the period when the post of Minister of Culture was taken care of by the Green Party (2014-2021).

- The fact that Amanda Lind is resigning is not the big event, says Kulturnyheter's editor Per Andersson.

- More important is that the era with a Minister of Culture from the Green Party is now over.

It has cost the Social Democrats prestige in the cultural debate that they have released the Ministry of Culture to the small government partner.

In addition to pandemic management, Amanda Lind's legacy will be about film policy and a review of cultural freedom vis-à-vis the state.

- Amanda Lind has not distinguished herself as a debater, but she is a calm results politician who can boast that she managed to lead the film industry's production incentives to realization.

She should be respected for initiating the harsh scrutiny of cultural freedom, which resulted in a rather harsh criticism of the system she, as Minister, is based on, Per Andersson continues.

But Minister of Culture Amanda Lind (MP) also stood out in several other ways.
