Per Bolund to deliver farewell speech as Green Party spokesperson
The Green Party is set to choose a new male spokesperson this weekend, marking the end of Per Bolund’s tenure as the party’s male leader. Bolund was elected as the Green Party’s male spokesperson in 2019 and has since shared the role with Isabella Lövin and Märta Stenevi.
As he prepares to give his farewell speech on Friday, Bolund highlighted the party’s achievements over the years, particularly in addressing climate change and electrification. He emphasized the importance of building a green community alongside efforts to reduce emissions.
The upcoming decision will see a stand between proposed candidate Daniel Helldén and challenger Magnus P Wåhlin. They have highlighted different directions for the party, with Helldén focusing on the environment and climate, while Wåhlin advocates for a broader approach.
During his speech, Bolund also addressed the strong opposition from other parties, accusing the government of fostering racism and xenophobia. He expressed frustration with the current state of politics and stressed the need for faith in the future and trust, rather than fear-based policies.
Around 800 environmentalists will gather during the weekend to make decisions about the party’s future policies. The outcome of this decision will shape the direction of the Green Party as they continue their commitment to environmental and social issues.
As Bolund concludes his term, the party will look to the future with the selection of a new spokesperson who will lead the Green Party in pursuing its goals and advocating for progressive policies.
