Maja Lundb\u00e4ck moved from Ebba Busch\u2019s inner circle on energy policy to become head of Svenska kraftn\u00e4t. Now, an investigation reveals that the job requirements were changed before she was appointed\u2014even though the government has not disclosed who drafted the requirements.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

On July 30, the government appointed the 36-year-old Maja Lundb\u00e4ck<\/strong> as Director General of Svenska kraftn\u00e4t. At that time, she had served as State Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Industry Ebba Busch<\/strong> (KD) and has had Svenska kraftn\u00e4t in its portfolio of agencies, reports Svenska Dagbladet<\/a><\/strong> (SvD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An investigation by SvD shows that the job requirements were changed compared to the hiring of the predecessor Per Eckemark<\/strong>. For example, the requirement of \u201dan understanding of\u201d the political structure became \u201dexperience working in\u201d it\u2014something Lundb\u00e4ck had after just over three years at the Government Offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, two previously listed qualifications became mandatory: experience leading through other managers, and experience leading and developing operations within a government agency. According to SvD, it is not clear from Lundb\u00e4ck\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 where and when she met these requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
