Ebba-Elisabeth Busch[2] (née Busch-Christensen, formerly Busch Thor; born 11 February 1987) is a Swedish politician, serving as the Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden, Minister for Energy and the Minister for Business and Industry since October 2022.[3] She has served as Leader of the Christian Democrats since April 2015.

She has criticized the shift towards multiculturalism,[4] and also supports the controversial move to shift Swedish embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.[5][6] She argues that Turkish membership in the EU should be rejected.[7]

In March 2021, Busch was embroiled in a criminal investigation for defamation, in which Busch pleaded guilty to a charge of grave defamation, resulting in probation and a SEK 60,000 fine.[8]
