Paulina Brandberg (born 11 November 1983) is a Swedish politician for the Liberals. Since 18 October 2022, she is the Minister of Equality in the Ulf Kristersson cabinet.
Personal life
In 2020, Brandberg posted on Twitter she had a phobia of bananas. Bananaphobia can trigger nausea and anxiety. In 2024, Expressen reported her colleagues must ensure any room the minister is due to visit is banana free. Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson said that Brandberg's phobia had not affected government work. Brandberg has said that she is getting professional help. Fellow Swedish politician Teresa Carvalho, a Social Democrat who shares the same phobia, has said "on this issue we stand united against a common enemy".
