It was during the weekend that someone put out a work of art in Sölvesborg, depicting a doll dressed in folk costume with flags of pride.

The installation was photographed by Sölvesborgsbon Carina Andersson who published the image in social media. She interpreted the deployed artwork as a critical contribution to the ongoing local political debate in the municipality.

- I have no idea what the artist wants to say with the installation, but I interpreted it as a protest against the co-operative's policy, Carina Andersson previously told SVT News Blekinge.

Decisions arouse emotion

In recent weeks, the Sölvesborg Samstyret (SD + M + KD + SoL party) has made several decisions that have aroused strong feelings in many people. Among other things, that the municipality will not buy "challenging contemporary art", and that Pride flags will no longer be hoisted at the town hall.

The artwork in question represents a doll in national costume holding two Pride flags. The abdomen is submerged, which may hint at SD-peak Rolf Hans Berg's statement about "human art" last week.

Clearly who

Who is behind the installation is unclear. It is also unclear who moved it and where.

- We haven't moved it and I don't know who did it. I also do not know where it is now, says Magnus Lindblom, acting coordinator at Sölvesborg municipality's park unit.
