Early life
editBorn in Kristinestad, Finland,[1] Ranne moved to Haparanda, Sweden, when she was six years old and lived there until she was eighteen. She speaks both Finnish and Swedish.[2]
Political career
editIn June 2023, she was appointed Minister of Transport and Communications in the Orpo Cabinet.[3]
Political views
editIn an interview given for Suomen Uutiset in 2021, Ranne stated that she considers the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) not as a scientific but a political organization which publishes propaganda and spreads "climate panic" with an intention to move the society to a more totalitarian direction. She said that she holds a view that it is not known whether human activities have had effect on the global warming and that international climate conferences do not aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but to maintain a sense of crisis in people. She claimed that if the global warning really concerned European Union, it would spend one billion euros a year to the development of fusion power.[4]
