According to Kinnunen, there is a question of a member of the committees, and a replacement for Widding will be appointed shortly. Elsa Widding will instead take her place as a deputy member of the Tax Committee.
Widding has profiled himself on climate issues and has previously said that there is a lack of scientific evidence that the world is in a climate crisis. She has also criticized the SD-backed government and Climate and Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari, whom she has called "ignorant".
SD's deputy group leader Linda Lindberg writes to SVT Nyheter that what has happened is "completely undramatic".
"In this case, it is about covering up and ensuring that we have a balance within all of the parliamentary committees and meeting the wishes that exist," she writes in an email.
SVT Nyheter is looking for Elsa Widding for a comment.
