Taking A Dig At Donald Trump, Sweden's Deputy PM Posts A Picture Of Her 'Feminist Govt'

After the internet mocked the picture of US President Donald Trump signing the travel ban executive order, Swedish Deputy PM and Climate Minister has taken a dig at another similar picture.

Isabella Lövin posted a picture of her signing an order with a queue of female ministers standing behind her.

The image is seen as a parody of the picture of President Trump signing an anti-abortion executive order with a line of male ministers standing behind him.

In her picture, Lövin was signing the proposal for Sweden’s new climate law. She posted the picture both on Facebook and Twitter and it’s gone viral since then.

One Facebook user wrote, “Wonderful image. I hope you sent it to the man on the other side of the ocean.”

A local Swedish website asked the Deputy Prime Minister whether the image carried any undertones regarding Trump’s picture and she said, “We are a feminist government, which shows in this photo. Ultimately it is up to the observer to interpret the photo."

Lövin is surrounded by state secretaries, press secretaries and coordinators from her office, in the picture. The picture is representative of Sweden’s stance on leading the climate change dialogue, the Climate Minister explained.

“There is a global demand for climate leadership. I want to show that Sweden is ready to take that leadership. The new climate law that was announced yesterday marks a new era in Swedish climate politics,” she said.

US President Trump has consistently denied climate change and even vowed to “cancel” the Paris climate agreement, a treaty agreed by 200 countries including America in 2015.
