Like much else, the labor movement's first May celebration has also been canceled during the time of the pandemic.
But on Sunday you could meet again at Stortorget in Vetlanda.
Speakers were Johanna Haraldsson (S) Henrik Tvarnö (S) and Ole Busse, who is the Rector.
- It is fantastic to meet here and listen to what people want, says Henrik Tvarnö (S), who is the chairman of the municipal board in Vetlanda.
What are you going to talk about today?
- I will talk about peace, freedom and equality, it is an old slogan, says Henrik Tvarnö.
The Nordic resistance movement was stopped
There was great support from the police this day because the Nordic resistance movement, NMR, had also applied for and received permission to demonstrate.
The group stood on Bibliotekstorget.
However, when they approached the May Day train, they were quickly stopped by the police.
Their presence was met with criticism from the Social Democrats on the ground.
- There were several who did not dare to join today due to NMR's presence, says Henrik Tvarnö (S).
