Every year, during one week in July,Visby holds a political week in the Almedalen.
Almedalen is a park in Visby, very beautiful, with flowers, trees and a pond. In the parc and all around the town, there is a lot of activity going on. Each political party has one day of their own. The day ends with speches and activites from the big stage in the parc. It is a tradition that it is each party´s leader that is holding the speech.
But there is one thing that everyone says is more important and that is to be there. You have to be there if you are a politican or if you have a message that you want to have on the Swedish agenda.
So there you will find, the red cross, the Swedish church, the automobile club, Save the animals, save the Baltic sea and so on.
