Idag gör vi ett besök på Riksdagshuset för en guidad visning.
Av personerna i denna grupp var det endast jag som var stockholmare. Alla andra kom från andra delar av landet.
En fransyska: Gissa vem?
Egentligen är inte heller jag stockholmare om man med det menar en person vars familj bott i staden i tre generationer, så som brukar klassificera en 'infödd' person. Min mor var född på Öland, min far i Uppsala, så ock hans föräldrar.
Min morfar föddes i Västerbotten (Bjursele/Norsjö) och min mormor på Öland.
Guidningen börjar i plenisalen där vi förevisas denna nyrenoverade lokal där alla gamla sittplatser inklusive de för besökarna har tagits bort för att ersättas med nytt.
Vi får oss också förklarat hur riksdagsledamöterna är placerade i salen; att man är placerad länsvis, inte partivis, var vi finner regeringens platser, de nya diskussions-/debattplatserna längst fram etc.
Journalisternas platser förevisas och vi får också se hur det fungerar med stenografernas arbete, något som fortfarande används parallellt med andra dokumentationssystem.
En rundtur i huset i övrigt inkluderade utskottsrum, första kammaren där bl.a. konstitutionsförhören sker, tavlor föreställandes de olika talmännen och -kvinnorna (sidorna 107-111 i denna länk/detta dokument visar några av talmännen från 70-talet till 90-talet)genom tiderna.
I en av entréerna, den som används vid Riksdagen högtidliga öppnande, fanns byster av alla statsministrar utom Carl Bildt och Göran Persson samt Ingvar Carlsson och Torbjörn Fälldin. Sistnämnda två endast hade varsin medaljong på väggarna.
Förklaringen till detta är att endast de som suttit inalles tre mandatperioder föräras en byst medan Carlsson och Fälldin får nöja sig med en medaljong då de satt förhållandevis kort tid.
Carl Bildt likaså men i hans fall beror det också på att han inte velat sitta modell. Persson skall väl förmodligen få en byst eller blir det medaljong?
Efter detta en utställning på Finlandsinstitutet/Finlandshuset med en installation av konstnären Kai Ruohonen gjort i bl.a. Lego.
Filmen på Cinemateket är 'Mina drömmars stad' av Ingvar Skogsberg (IMDb om Ingvar Skogsberg) fritt efter Per Anders Fogelströms bok.
En förhållandevis bra filmatisering som väl visade de umbäranden människor fick utstå och som Fogelström velat visa i sina böcker i den s.k. 'Stockholms-serien'. Speakerrösten var Fogelströms själv.
Alltid svårt att filmatisera böcker då de som läst dem alltid har sin bild av personer och miljöer men jag tycker Skogsberg lyckats ganska väl ändå. Lite bristande personregi ibland upplevde jag.
Ett utdrag, ej ur filmen men ur boken uppläst av Helge Skoog.
An excerpt, not from the film but the book, read in Swedish by the actor Helge Skoog.

English:
Today Aurore and I visit the Parliament for a guided tour.
I am the only one from Stockholm among the persons in the group.
I am not a 'genuine' 'stockholmer' (if the expression is allowed) though.
This if one take into consideration that you have to belong to the third generation of inhabitants to be 'allowed' to call yourself 'genuine'.
My mother was born on Öland, the second largest island in Sweden, her mother too and her father came from the northern parts of Sweden - Västerbotten (Bjursele/Norsjö)My father was born in Uppsala and his parents too.
We started the guided tour in the assembly hall newly renovated.
We are being demonstrated how the members of Parliament are seated, namely after the different regions from where they originate, not according to party membership.
We are also shown where the journalists are seated, how the stenography-system works (the stenographers are still being used parallell to other dokumentation systems), where the members of the Government are seated, the speaker and so on.
We also visit one of the Committee rooms. There are fifteen committees in the Swedish Parliament.
One room is full of paintings depicting all the speakers having worked within the Parliament.
In another part we can find busts by former prime ministers except Ingvar Carlsson, Torbjörn Fälldin, Carl Bildt and Göran Persson.
To be honored with a bust one must have worked as a prime minister for three terms in office, and it was not the case with neither Carlsson, Fälldin or Bildt. Carlsson and Fälldin instead have medallions depicting them and when it comes to Bildt he is still active as a politician (foreign minister) and besides this, he has never wanted to pose for a portrait. Persson will either be depicted as a bust or medallion, the future will show.
At the Finnish Institute we see an installation made by a Finnish artist named Kai Ruohonen. He uses toys like Lego among other things.
Cinematheque: 'City of My Dreams' by Ingvar Skogsberg is a film based on the well known book by the same name written by Per Anders Fogelström, one of the foremost portrayers of Stockholm. Fogelström has in his books depicted Stockholm through different events in different people's lives through centuries. This film was quite authentic in its efforts to bear witness about a time since long gone (mid and late 19th Century).
