It is the Police Authority that gives permission for a public gathering, but the municipality approves that their land may be used for a particular event. According to Malinda Flodman, press officer at the Traffic Office in the City of Stockholm, the city did not know how serious it would be when they allowed the festival to be held at Järvafältet.
– I do not consider that the city of Stockholm has any responsibility for the damage, says Malinda Flodman.
