The main issue from the right-wing in Sweden has been the racist and anti-humanrights rhetoric. The policies so far haven't been too extreme, luckily, aside from some disastrous spending cuts.

The biggest climate policy impact has been a populustic slashing of petrol taxes, and removing biofuel mandates. Reducing petrol prices by 10% at the cost of completely missing our climate goals.

The Swedish right has also been blocking wind turbine construction permits which has been pretty terrible.
