Summer Commentary 4 July: So, the director of the chocolate director became the mayor of the United States

On November 9, 2016, Anna Throne-Holst woke up in a crippling shock. She had quoted the Congress of Democrats of the United States and had seen it in the Hillary Clinton government. Her long campaign work remains a plague in her.

Few Swedes have this kind of experience of American politics. And when I listen to Throne-Holst's summer program, I want to know more, find out more about how it's going in the corridors of power. But Anna Throne-Holst keeps the best things for herself. Why? Maybe she wants to try American politics again?

Her summer program is plus a story about the director of the chocolatier and how she wants to manage her legacy as a community leader. Today, she works as CEO of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in New York.

Anna Throne-Holst's father was Norwegian and his mother American, but Anna spent most of her childhood in Stockholm. Which is remarkable in the charming sanctuary of Stockholm which sneaks here and there with the frivolous (!) Socialist.

Dad was CEO of the family business Marabou and Anna Throne-Holst surprised that her classmates would want to go home with the belief that there was an abundance of candy at home. But this is not the case. Anna Throne-Holst was allowed to learn that she would be agitated, like many other children. She also received, she says, from home, that it's important that the resource manager works to get more.

Anna Throne-Holst intervened in US policy 2008 when she became Mayor of Southampton on Long Island, a region not only inhabited by the rich and famous – about 25 percent of Southamptons residents live below or on the threshold of poverty.

When she was to be a candidate, she was advised "Do not mention that Swedish, you will be considered socialist, or even worse as a communist". But Anna Throne-Holst concludes by saying that "The Land of Opportunity" is no longer the United States. It's Sweden which is the country of opportunity – with its free education, its care, its gender equality and its thought of sustainability.
