The debate around the new regulations on garden waste burning has ignited controversy in Sweden, with Vice Prime Minister Ebba Busch criticizing rules that stem from her own government's legislation.

The rules, influenced by an EU directive, require garden waste to be recycled where possible, leading to confusion and varied interpretations across municipalities.

This has sparked a debate on responsibility and governance, as Busch's public dissent against EU and environmental agencies contrasts her government's stance.

Meanwhile, communities grapple with the implications for traditional bonfires and garden management practices, reflecting a broader conversation on environmental policy and local autonomy.
