The Declaration of the Government?

There is a unison complaint in the editorials of the two tabloids Expressen.se and Aftonbladet.se today concerning the content of regeringsförklaringen. There was nothing new in the epos in question.

However, the government had earlier in the high press, on DN.se and SvD.se, declared various new happenings for the next year and for the future. This must be a much more superior form of release of information because it will be successively discussed in the press and in the blogs instead of all coming in the same release. But perhaps at least some of the information could have been aired in the tabloids?

It might however be that the complaints are rather on the "Högtidliga öppnandet av Riksdagen" eller "Riksmötets Öppnande" as it is called today. Personally I do not se any reason for retaining a monarchy but it seems popular, except in the tabloids. Prince Carl Philip was caught blinking in one of them. And it is the job of the prince to look enticed all through the ceremony.

I see...we are celebrating our democracy. Is this not a funny way to do that, these days? The respect is gone.
