Botkyrka Municipality
Saint Botvid is shown on the seal and coat of arms of Botkyrka Municipality, where he carries an axe and a fish.Politically the municipality is primarily Social Democratic, that has governed Botkyrka for a long period except 3 years in the early 1990s.[citation needed] The Swedish hip hop group The Latin Kings raps about life in Botkyrka in several of their songs.[citation needed] In its December 2015 report, Police in Sweden placed the Hallunda and Norsborg districts in the most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates.[4] On 31 August 1568, a battle between John III, Duke Charles, and Eric XIV took place in Botkyrka.[9] This makes the municipality a multi-cultural community with for example a big Syriac Orthodox Church in Hallunda and a mosque in Fittja.
