Tove Anna Helena Soo Hee Jensdotter Lifvendahl is political editor-in-chief at Svenska Dagbladet. A proponent on a liberal refugee policy, she has written several books crime-riddled areas with many immigrants. She attended the 2014 Bilderberg meeting. She is a member of the Trilateral Commission.
Background
Lifvendahl was adopted from South Korea and grew up in Arbrå in Hälsingland, as the daughter of teachers Jens Holm and Ulla, unmarried Axelsson. She started studying literature, history and Swedish at Uppsala University in 1993.
1998–2002 she married to the company manager Andreas Lifvendahl (born 1971) and since 2006 is married to Fredrik Erixon. She lives in [Uppsala]].
Politics
Lifvendahl became a member of the Moderates Party's Moderate Youth League in 1987 and was later elected district chairman for Gävleborg County.
Lifvendahl was a member of the Moderate Youth League board and was elected in November 2000 as the new chairman. As chairman of MUF, she became known for several attention-grabbing actions, including her criticism of the Moderates Party's refugee policy where she herself advocated a significantly more liberal policy[1], as well as the proposal for private prison care.[2] Lifvendahl was chairman 2000–2002.[3]
After the moderates' poor results in the 2002 parliamentary election, Lifvendahl demanded changes in the party's leadership. Older politicians instead blamed the election loss on, among other things, Lifvendahl and believed that the MUF's proposal had pushed the voters away.[4] Later, Lifvendahl became a regular member of the party board and remained as such until 2005 when she requested dismissal from the assignment due to the fact that she wanted to immerse herself in some of the party's work areas and would therefore lack time for her assignment.[5]
In the spring of 2000, Lifvendahl became a columnist in Svenska Dagbladet. nAfter Lifvendahl left the position as MUF chairman in 2002, she started working part-time as a communications consultant for the company JKL in Stockholm.
Lifvendahl has been a Senior Fellow at the think tank FORES.
In February and March 2003, she lived in the crime-riddled Rosengård district in Malmö to learn more about the mentioned area. Her experience resulted in the book Vem kastar första stenen. (Who casts the first stone). This received a sequel in a second book in 2013.
In 2006, Lifvendahl worked again as a substitute editorial writer for Svenska Dagbladet.
In the years 2007-2012, she worked as communications manager at Confederation of Swedish Enterprise.
On August 5, 2013, she began her employment as political editor-in-chief at Svenska Dagbladet.
