Sweden's EU Commissioner candidate, Jessika Roswall, faced a challenging hearing in the European Parliament, where her candidacy was met with skepticism.
Roswall, nominated to oversee environment and water policies, was questioned on her stance regarding Sweden's climate and forestry policies.
Her responses were perceived as vague by many parliamentarians, leading to a postponed decision on her appointment.
The hearing highlighted tensions over Sweden's environmental policies, with Roswall needing to convince two-thirds of the parliament to secure her position.
Despite the criticism, Roswall expressed satisfaction with her performance, likening it to completing a long race.
