It will now be forbidden to illuminate municipal buildings in Oslo with other countries’ flags, symbols or religious symbols. It was adopted by the city council earlier this year. – The city’s symbolic buildings are of great importance to the city’s residents, and should be for everyone, said city council leader Eirik Lae Solberg (H) when news discussed the matter in February. According to Aftenposten, the city council has now come up with ten concrete proposals for austerity measures. – In a world that is becoming increasingly polarized, questions about lighting can quickly become controversial, says Solberg from Høyre to the newspaper. Pride and other voluntary organizations will still be able to apply for lighting, but the new rules will be stricter. The City Council proposes, among other things, that buildings and structures should not be illuminated if the marking or event is not of broad public interest.
