After the shooting this weekend, all Pride events were canceled by the police. Even though people gather for a spontaneous parade on Saturday, it is still uncertain when Oslo Pride can hold official events. Nevertheless, the police have approved that they, together with the municipality of Oslo, can hold a marking on the town hall square. The marking will take place on Monday at 19.30, with musical elements and speeches. Important with a marking – Today, the entire queer movement has gathered in a meeting to find out how we should handle what happened on Saturday, says Inger Kristin Haugsevje, leader of Oslo Pride. Oslo Pride will still be able to gather people, even if they cannot go by train.

The municipality provides resources – It will be safe, the police are ready for that. Oslo Municipality is running with Rådhusplassen and NOK 500,000, says City Councilor Raymond Johansen.
