King Oscar Defends Rights in Norwegian Veto Debate
In Stockholm on June 13 King Oscar issued a lengthy letter to the Norwegian Storthing president Berner defending the royal veto of the consular bill. He says the oath binds him to comment on government decisions and rejects claims the veto oversteps constitutional prerogatives, asserting the monarchy must be autonomous within union constraints and that the state council cannot reduce the king to a mere tool.

Dissolution Crisis Between Norway and Sweden King Speaks
The king argues that a Norwegian refusal to countersign a royal decision undermines the union and forces him to uphold the legal basis of the united kingdoms. He notes Norway’s push to force a decision conflicting with his duties, the Norwegian council’s resignation, and the storthing’s revoluntionary move declaring the king deposed and the union dissolved. The monarch vows to decide whether Norway’s actions dissolve the union, leaving judgment to future generations.
