[1] A Finnish-Swedish politician, formerly of the Swedish People's Party, Thors is a Candidate of Law and held several senior jobs before becoming a Member of the European Parliament in 1996 where she worked until 2004.

After the 2007 elections she was chosen to be the new Minister of Migration and European Affairs in Matti Vanhanen's second cabinet.

She received death threats[2][3] that were consequently investigated by the police, and faced a lot of criticism, in parliament and especially on chat and blogging sites.

This was regardless of the fact that during her term, the Finnish immigration policy continued to tighten outside the EU directives.
