Radio Sweden Weekly: Thirty years after Sweden voted to join the EU
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
This week marks thirty years since Sweden's EU referendum.
We'll listen to what Radio Sweden sounded like on the evening of the 13th November 1994.
We talk to Hans Lindqvist who was chair of the cross-party ”No to the EU” campaign at the time, and we catch up with some political scientists who explain why Sweden voted yes, and what it has meant to the country.
And finally, Swedish Radio's man in Brussels, Andreas Liljeheden tells us how Sweden is doing in today's EU.
We also speak to Jakob Åsell, program coordinator of the ongoing Stockholm Film Festival which is celebrating its 35th year.
