Highlights

  • Husby riots: On 19–28 May 2013, riots erupted in Stockholm's Husby suburb and spread to 14 other districts, triggered by police shooting a 69-year-old armed man. Around 150 vehicles were torched, at least 7 officers injured, and damages totalled 63 million SEK (~$9.5 m). Prime Minister Reinfeldt condemned the violence; Justice Minister Beatrice Ask cited social segregation as a root cause.
  • Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö: Sweden hosted the Eurovision Song Contest at Malmö Arena (14–18 May). Denmark's Emmelie de Forest won with "Only Teardrops".
  • First female Archbishop: On 16 October 2013, Antje Jackelén was elected Archbishop of the Church of Sweden — the first woman to hold the position in the church's history.
