Fria Tider has previously reported on Paulina Brandberg's (L) panicked fear of bananas and how it affects her work.
Aftonbladet has now obtained 44 emails that reveal extensive demands that it be banana-free at events and meetings that the minister for equality participates in.
Paulina Brandberg previously claimed that she was “very allergic” to bananas, but later it has emerged that it was a lie and that it is in fact a “phobia”.
The internal emails that Aftonbladet has seen show that the minister's staff left detailed instructions for meetings and events. At a meeting with the Vice President of the European Commission, Vera Jourová, it was underlined in an email:
“NOTE! Prime Minister Paulina Brandberg is allergic to bananas. It is especially important that no bananas are visible during the Prime Minister's meeting today in the Guest Dining Rooms. “
a conference at the luxury hotel Grand Hotel Saltsjöbaden required that the hotel be completely secured from bananas in all public areas “in which she can imagine being; reception, breakfast room, coffee room, conference room, dinner room or her own room”.
Aftonbladet has contacted Brandberg for further comments, but she refers to a previous interview with the newspaper.
