Stockholm rejects permanent alcohol serving hours after World Cup trial

There will be no continuation of the expanded alcohol serving permit introduced during the World Cup.

At Wednesday's extraordinary meeting in the City of Stockholm, a majority voted against the proposal to make permanent the temporary rules that applied during the World Cup - serving alcohol until 8 a.m.

The proposal to investigate the possibility of alcohol sales around the clock, put forward by the four opposition parties L, M, C and KD, was also rejected, reports Mitti.

It worked during the World Cup. To say no is to choose ideology over facts - and it is the people of Stockholm who lose, says Christofer Fjellner (M), finance mayoral candidate, to Mitti.

Stockholm is governed by S, V and MP, which have their own majority.
