Organizers believe that it is impossible to implement the 2020 event.

- We are now gathering energy for 2021. Our ambition to offer a safe and secure meeting place, which is based on physical meetings, does not disappear, says Lisbeth Bokelund (MP), chairman, in a press release.

“The main organizer group has a great understanding that this will have major consequences for the Gotland society, not least the Gotland business community. Under prevailing conditions, the priority must be to limit the spread of infection. " It says in the press release.

- To cancel this year's Almedals week is the responsible decision to make at the present time, says Lisbeth Bokelund.

The decision was made by the main organizer group in consultation with the host, Region Gotland and the eight parliamentary parties.
