  Maud Olofsson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maud Olofsson (born Olsson, August 1955) is a Swedish politician and the current leader of the Centre Party of Sweden (Centerpartiet).
It was however a remarkable new feature in the history of the Centre Party, when Maud Olofsson characterized her party's ideology as Social Liberalism.
Maud Olofsson is married to Rolf, with whom she has three children.

The newspaper Dagens Industri (DI) quoted party leader Maud Olofsson as saying all but one of Sweden's existing nuclear power plants, which generate half of the electricity consumed in the chilly Nordic country, should be allowed to keep running.
Olofsson's party is a member of a four-party centre-right alliance intent on breaking the SDP's stranglehold on government power.
DI quoted a political analyst as saying the Centre's nuclear power u-turn was likely to boost the alliance's chances in the next general election in September 2006.

Maud Olofsson also stressed she did not share the views of a British activist who compared the European Monetary Union to Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, with a centralized government and a common currency.
Olofsson's comments about Fischer came on Wednesday during a debate about the EMU and whether Sweden should adopt the euro in a September 14 national referendum.
International donors will have to more than double their pledges of aid to Afghanistan if the country is to recover from over two decades of devastating warfare, a senior UN official said yesterday.

 Swedish politician atones after calling Joschka Fischer a "terrorist"
Olofsson, normally something of a media darling, made the offending comments on Wednesday, a day after Fischer gave a speech in Sweden on the euro, invited by the ruling Social Democrats ahead of a September referendum on euro entry.
Olofsson appeared however to believe that he was a former member of the German terrorist group Red Army Fraction.
After apologizing for the Fischer remark, Olofsson finally conceded that she had not known enough about Bush before inviting her to Sweden.

I just watched Åke Ortmarks interview with the leader of the Centre Party, Maud Olofsson, and thought I might make a few remarks on that.
It's a pity that the program is being televised on TV8 - not because there's anything wrong with TV8 but because there are very few people who can watch it.
Ever since Maud Olofsson took over the Centre party in 2001 she has tried to make an impression of taking the party towards the right (without going too far - she calls her party the Left of the Right).
