However, not everyone welcomed the proposal.
The Sweden Democrats put forward a motion that it should only be flagged on days "of symbolically important national significance".
- The EU election is not of such dignity, the exercisers write, but their protest fell on deaf ears.
The number of flag days will be fewer
The number of general flag days;
at present there are 18;
will, despite the addition, be fewer in the future.
This is when the royal family gets rid of a bunch of days.
From the next change of throne, it will no longer be flagged for royal name days and the regent's birthday.
In the future, only the regent and heir to the throne, from the time the person in question turns 18, will be celebrated with a general flag day.
