After landing at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, Obama visited the US Embassy in Stockholm, the Government Chancellery in Rosenbad, the Stockholm Synagogue and the Royal Institute of Technology. The overnight stay took place at the Grand Hôtel.
The following day, Obama visited King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia at Stockholm Palace, and returned to Arlanda for a farewell ceremony.
Press conference at Rosenbad
During the press conference, Fredrik Reinfeldt emphasized the good relations between Sweden and the United States since the time of emigration. Barack Obama spoke, among other things, about the civil war in Syria and stated that the Syrian government used chemical warfare agents. Obama was also asked about NSA surveillance. He said that the United States, like other countries, has some intelligence but that there are measures in place to prevent a surveillance society.[3]
Stockholm Synagogue
Obama’s visit to the Stockholm synagogue aimed to draw attention to the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg’s deed over the Holocaust in Hungary, and Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year.
Demonstrations
In connection with the visit, several different organizations demonstrated around the city. Large demonstration marches on Mynttorget protested against “Big Brother Obama” after the summer’s revelations about how the US through the agency NSA monitors large parts of the world through Facebook, Google and other internet companies. One of the organizations that participated was the Swedish Pirate Party.
