The Malmö police will be reinforced by forces from all over Scandinavia. At least six applications have been submitted for permits to demonstrate against Israel's participation in the competition, but another application has also arrived, one that could, to put it simply, ignite Malmo.
"We are currently in a situation where, as a precautionary measure, we must ensure that we have the capabilities and tools we may need in the event of a serious incident," says Petra Stankula, head of the division responsible for Eurovision security at the Malmö Police.
