The government started the year in the global spotlight with the launch of Sweden's six-month EU presidency. On January 12th, Sweden shipped Brussels journalists to Arctic Sweden to stay at the Ice Hotel, alongside Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch, and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. [...] The trip, however, brought problems domestically, with Busch and Kristersson ridiculed for dressing up as if they were going on a polar expedition, even though it was above freezing.
