Vietnam demonstration in Stockholm, Sweden
Feb. 26 Great Vietnam demonstration in Stockholm on Wednesday 21 February - one of the greatest demonstrations that has ever been arranged in Sweden took place in Stockholm when 5300 people set off with the motto SUPPORT FNL'. After a torchlight procession across the city a meeting was held at Sergel's Torg. Professor Gunnar Myrdal, President of the Swedish Vietnam Committee, gave the welcome address. As it was a cold night most of the people dropped out after a while, but about 1000 people were still there when Vietnam ambassador to Moscow Nguyen Tho Chanh spoke, were very enthusiastic about the speech that Cabinet Minisster Olof Palme gave, one of the demonstration leaders said We parted because of Vietnam, but we think that Olof Palme is a hypocrite. He appears as a revolutionary speaker, but he doesn't do anything but talk. OPS Nguyen Tho Chanh and Olof Palme at the head of the demonstration procession. Swedish Minister of Education
