Template:Conservatism in Sweden The first issue of {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} appeared on 18 December 1884.

The paper is published in Stockholm and provides coverage of national and international news as well as local coverage of the Greater Stockholm region. Its subscribers are concentrated in the capital, but it is distributed in most of Sweden. The paper was one of the critics of the Prime Minister Olof Palme, and in December 1984 it asked him to resign from the office following his interview published in Hufvudstadsbladet.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
