  2. In Sweden a woman of Iranian descent achieves personal success

    In Iran an Iranian woman is pressured, threatened, and violently punished

  3. This is what the world needs more of. Young people in politics rather then decrepit old men that that are to stuck in their dinosaur ways and just wanna blow shit up

  4. Ngl, young, female minister with Iranian ancestry is something I would expect more from left-wing government.

  6. 26 is also the youngest Danish minister ever, so that seems to be the cutoff date for when you got enough political power to elbow your way to the top, but not to young to be ignored by the old established politicians.

    11 people elected to the Danish Parliament since 1982 that was under 24, so there is not that big a pool to get those young politicians from. Expecting a non elected minister dragged in from the private sector that is also under 26 seems unlikely. https://www.ft.dk/da/folkestyret/folketinget/tal-og-fakta-om-folketinget

  8. Nice headline, but what it fails to mention is that she is a minister without a department. The first restructuring done by the new government was to abolish the department of environment and climate, and fold the remains into the department of energy, which will be headed by the chair of the Christian Democrats. Meanwhile, Romina will more likely than not be stuffed into a fourth-floor broom closet and only be dusted off and paraded around when the government needs a brown alibi.
