- Our intention is that he will have his application tried just like everyone else and that the general assembly will be allowed to take place, says Mikael Hedström, the police's spokesperson in the Mitt region.

First time in Gävleborg

It is the first time that Paludan has applied to hold a public meeting in Gävleborg.

In the same application, he has applied for permission for two locations: Gävle and Uppsala.

- We have no special handling for this.

This is a special person, but it is handled just like any other case.

I don't know when the permit will be ready, but maybe in a couple of days, says Mikael Hedström.

Unrest during the year

Earlier in July, the politician visited Dalarna for the first time and then without any major commotion breaking out.

It was during Easter that the politician's public appearance created major unrest in Stockholm, Linköping and Norrköping, among others.

Mikael Hedström does not want to speculate on how the situation could develop in Gävle.

- We wait and see.

Given permission, there is a whole organization to take care of this.

We adapt so that the safety is as great as possible for both visitors and the person conducting the gathering.
