Dadgostar will not give the planned speech and the previously announced appearances and press activities are cancelled, V writes in a press release.

"At a time like this, the most important thing is that we show respect for those affected and allow space for grief and reflection, and we are therefore cancelling the summer speech."

Andersson will travel to Fagersta during the day and will be replaced in Malmö by Lena Hallengren.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) has also previously announced that he is cancelling his planned summer speech in Nacka on Saturday due to the school incident.
