Demonstration during the 2006 Nobel Prize ceremony
On the afternoon of December 10, 2006, a demonstration took place in front of the Stockholm Theater (Stockholm Concert Hall) in time for the 2006 Nobel Prize ceremony.
Participants of the rally came from the Institute for Working Life. They held up the offensive banners of the new Government because of the decision to close the Institute starting in January 2007.

This decision has resulted in 400 people (most of them researchers) being unemployed. The government ruled that the budget was not enough, but the researchers said that the government did not want to continue to have researches criticizing the conditions and working environment.
A researcher who participated in the protest said: 'We are Swedish and are very proud of the Swedish Nobel Prize, but we want people to know that even in this country honoring this science, we don't have freedom of research '.
The demonstration took place outside the Theater, drawing the attention of guests attending the ceremony, including the Swedish King and Queen, Government members and scientists awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize. .
This opposition to Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's cabinet has just been established after winning the election in September with a policy to cut taxes and reform social security policies.
