...walked into the room and I told her proudly "Palme is murdered" and she was replying to my mother: Don't let your daughter use that language at this age! In this morning the radio, the TV and all the media was about how our Prime minister had been shot on an open street in Stockholm. My mother had turned the radio on and we got the news there. He had left the cinema after a good movie with his wife and it was a cozy evening. Little did he know his destiny that day. He was probably the most left-wing prime minister Sweden could afford at that time. He was radical, showing all the world that he had the power of saying anything he could into a mike and a camera. He was the one who compared USA's actions in Hanoi with Treblinka in the WW2 in a speech during the Vietnam war. So he was not the wimp of a political leader you see of these days. So there you have a bit about who he was. In 1986 at February the 28th he was murdered and still we do not have the truth. No one have paid for the crime. So many stories have gone through the media that most Swedish people are fed up about the whole thing. I can tell, because all my life I have been living with the research-team to solve the case. They blew up clear evidence in the beginning and misled witnesses, they told stories in the media that is/was/will be lies. They blew the whole thing. So instead of getting closer to this case once and for all, we still live in the agony of a ghost who was crazy enough (or very much into his plan). Every time anyone talks about Olof Palme we tend to forget about his political agenda and what he did for his country. Why he was controversial and what was the strengths and weakness of his work. I guess all countries have similar stories or will have similar stories. But for goodness sake do not make the same mistakes as we did. Get the thing sorted out once and for all and get it out of the big picture. It is not fun to sit and hear people talk about the Palme-murder and all you can say is you hate the thought of him. Not because of his politics but because of a great mistake. I am now 24 years old or soon to be that if I have to be correct. Will I have to become a mother and when that child is about 13. And he/she is told to do a job in school about Swedish political leaders and have to tell her all about this? The answer seems to be Yes with a distant feeling of anger.
