Member of the European Parliament, 2009–2014
Lövin was elected to the European Parliament in the 2009 European Parliament election, as a member of the Green Party. She was re-elected in the 2014 European Parliament election and was appointed as vice chair of the Committee on Fisheries.[4] She served as special rapporteur of the external dimension of the Common Fisheries Policy and the role of the EU in fighting illegal fisheries globally.[5]
In September 2010 Lövin voted in favour of the Draft report on enhancing the enforcement of intellectual property rights in the internal market.[6] The critics, among them the Pirate Party and the Young Greens, found this motion contradictory to the Green Party's stance on CopyRight.[7] Lövin stated that the vote was aligned with party politics and that her vote had been in favour of protecting the rights of small artists to get paid for their work.[8]
In 2013, Lövin was one of four Members of the European Parliament who were turned back by Moroccan authorities en route to the disputed territory of Western Sahara; the cross-party group of MEPs had been on a fact-finding mission on human rights in the region.[9]
Minister for International Development Cooperation, 2014–present
Lövin was appointed Minister for International Development Cooperation on 3 October 2014 by Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.
Green Party spokesperson, 2016–present
On 9 May 2016, Lövin was nominated by her party's national election committee to succeed Åsa Romson as one of two spokespersons of the Green Party.
Lövin gained international recognition in February 2017 from her post on social media showing her surrounded by seven female collegues while signing a climate goal referral.[10] This was perceived by many in the public as a criticism of US president Donald Trumps signing of executive orders on abortion rights in the company of only male collegues.[11] Lövin has commented that the photograph demonstrates that Sweden is a feminist government and that it is up to the observer to interpret its message.[12]
