Regarding the flag day when the king celebrates 50 years on the throne. It is very appropriate. But will it be an annual flag day or will it only happen in 2023?
Rolf
Hi Rolf!
The government’s proposal is for a “temporary public flag day”. It therefore only applies to 2023.
What happens at Stockholm Central Station? Stuck on a train that is not allowed to go due to police action.
