The Swedish Green Party proposes increasing the price of gasoline by six Swedish kronor per liter. Simultaneously, the party aims to compensate low-income individuals in rural areas – *landsbygden* – for the increased cost. This measure is coupled with a plan to facilitate greater access to electric vehicles, particularly in sparsely populated areas – *glesbygden*. Green Party Secretary Katrin Wissing articulated this policy during a visit to Luleå, emphasizing the need for stronger support systems in rural Sweden. The goal is to ensure residents can afford the transition to electric cars. The proposal seeks to balance environmental aims with the economic realities faced by those living outside urban centers. This initiative signals a commitment to a “just transition” regarding climate policy.
