The venue had been booked since April and the organizers say that the tickets sold strongly. But at the weekend, it was announced that the contract was being canceled after Folkets hus carried out a \u201creview\u201d of the event's content, reports <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.100.se\/artiklar\/media-kultur\/folkets-hus-stoppar-henrik-joensson-aron-flam-och-jan-emanuel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100%<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stopping the meeting because of \u201cvalues\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an email, the chairman of Folkets hus writes <strong>Pia-Lena Andersson<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cUpon closer review of the content of the event, we have come to the conclusion that it does not fit into our association's premises.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also refers to the fact that <strong>Aron Flam<\/strong> is charged with unlawful threats and that the event may go against the association's \u201dcore values\u201d. However, no security reasons or practical problems are mentioned. Critics therefore argue that the decision is more about stopping uncomfortable political views than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Henrik J\u00f6nsson<\/strong> accuses the People's House of trying to silence politically incorrect voices ahead of the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>- It sounds like a pretext.
