On 20 December, Sweden’s Prime Minister Stefan Löfven visited the Gallerian shopping center in central Stockholm.
This despite the fact that the Swedish government just two days before asked people to avoid shopping malls and congestion in Christmas shopping . It writes Expressen.
– He was there on a carefully planned errand, says Löfven’s press secretary Mikael Lindström to Expressen.
Also the Swedish Justice Minister Morgan Johansson has been in the storm because he was seen in a shopping center Boxing Day. That, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven thought, was ‘careless’.
Unlike in Denmark, the shops in Sweden are still open – but people are encouraged to avoid shopping malls.
