I will be expecting Nobel Prize winners to boycott the award ceremony (on December 10) after the committee’s bizarre decision to invite Russia’s ambassador, along with the ambassadors of Belarus and Iran. This year’s event is now already ill-fated.
Boycotts have been announced by a several party leaders in Sweden. The only one announcing that she will take part is Ebba Busch, Leader of the Christian Democrats and Minister for Energy, Business and Industry. No final decisions have been communicated from Magdalena Andersson (Social Democrats), or prime minister Ulf Kristersson (Moderate party). Johan Pehrson (Liberal Party) has – on X – vaguely suggested he may not attend.
