Early life

Teodorescu Måwe was born in Bucharest, Romania.[1] She attended the Sture Academy, a training programme for young people run by liberal think tank Timbro.[1] [2]

Career

After completing her legal training, she worked as an intern in the Brussels office of Svenskt Näringsliv and then became a communication strategist for the newspaper.[1] She has also been an editorial writer for newspapers including Barometern in Oskarshamn and Gotlands Allehanda.[3] [4] In 2009, she founded a women's network called En plats i himlen för kvinnor som hjälper varandra (a place in heaven for women who help each other).[5]

Teodorescu Måwe "has made herself known as a provocative and fearless liberal debater".[2] She has criticised gender quotas on corporate boards and advocated a policy of equality based on individualism rather than collectivism. She has also written on integration and education. In February 2014 she attracted much attention by calling in a debate on the Sveriges Radio channel 1 programme P1 Debatt for a clear definition of the term "racism" and questioning whether racism in Sweden was structural.[2] [6] [7] [8] She also argued that it was time for a more nuanced, less dogmatic and polarising debate on the issue.[9] During the Almedalen week in June and July 2014 Ali Esbati refused to shake hands with Teodorescu after a live broadcast debate between the two, this after a discussion about racism in Sweden.[10] After the debate both Teodorescu and Esbati received criticism for not considering each other's opinions.[11] In a subsequent opinion piece in Svenska Dagbladet, Teodorescu complained about what she saw as the lenient treatment of the Green Party by the press.[12]

She was running to become a Member of the European Parliament for the Christian Democrats in the in the upcoming EP elections for 2024.[13] She replaced Sara Skyttedal as the party's top name for the election.[13] [14] She was voted into the parliament as the only Christian Democrat and will be taking office on 16 July 2024.
