Biography edit
Bergbo is a freelance journalist by profession who worked at the Ålandstidningen newspaper for more than 20 years.
Bergbo participated in the launch of the party Sustainable Initiative (Swedish: Hållbart initiativ) in May 2019 which contested the municipal and legislative elections of that year.[1] Bergbo, along with Simon Holmström, was elected co-spokesperson of the party.[2] Following the 2019 parliamentary elections, two of the party's candidates won seats; Alfons Röblom and Simon Holmström.[3] However, Röblom was appointed to the Provincial Government as Minister for Development in December.[4] Bergbo was nominated as his replacement and entered the Lagting on 18 December 2019. She sits on the Law and Culture Committee and is a substitute for the Self-Government Policy Committee.[5] In December 2020, Bergbo announced she would no longer continue as spokesperson for the party from 2021 and a person outside the Lagting would take up the role.[6]
