Every autumn, King Carl XVI Gustaf opens the new working year of the Swedish parliament. In 2026, just after the general election, SVT covered the Opening of the Riksdag in a three-hour live broadcast.

I was part of SVT's production team for the broadcast, working as one of the live camera operators at the Riksdag. My camera covered the live interviews outside the building, where SVT Nyheter's reporters put their questions to the politicians – among them the party leaders Magdalena Andersson and Ulf Kristersson.

The broadcast can be watched on SVT Play until 28 March 2027.
