TRONDHEIM (Dagbladet): When the leader of the electoral committee Arild Grande after several hours of crisis meeting today left a little before 1830 tonight, it was with a unanimous recommendation without Giske.
In other words, her own local Trondheim Ap team, which launched this winter, was up against her own husband. Trond Giske was also scheduled to speak at the annual meeting on organizational development. This has now been removed from the program. It’s unclear whether Giske will appear at the annual meeting.
In a post on Adresseavisen today, Mayor Rita Ottervik and Trondheim leader Ap Hanne Moe Bjørnbet writes that it hurts to read the story of Sandra Skillingsås, who in an interview with the newspaper talks about a culture of fear and a culture at the county party. .
The female leaders of Aps in Trøndelag, Trondheim Mayor Rita Ottervik and leader Hanne Moe Bjørnbet, write in a publication that it is impressive to read the stories that have emerged in recent days.
– In the last few days, we have read hard-hitting stories, where young shop stewards tell about a party culture in which they have been exposed to unwanted sexual approaches. It is sad and painful to read. This is not how we can have it, and this is not how we should have it, Labor women wrote in Adresseavisen.
Remove: – The load becomes too large
– Zero tolerance
Furthermore, they write that the party has consistently worked with organizational culture in recent years and emphasize that both men and women must experience it as safe and inclusive to be part of the party.
– All forms of harassment are unacceptable. In the Labor Party, we must have zero tolerance and the threshold for reporting must be low, they write. The post cannot be read as an endorsement for Giske.
The appeal from politicians from county parties in the south and some parliamentary representatives was violent, but could also be interpreted as interference from other county parties. After all, a large majority of Trøndelag’s local councils had submitted proposals to Giske, and a unanimous electoral committee had chosen Giske as the new leader.
But the stories of sexual harassment and a culture of fear from politicians in Giske’s inner circle could not be ignored. Grande made no secret of the fact that it was the stories of the young Labor politicians in Trondheim that made the difference. The first configuration had to be discarded.
I guess the name had to be completely removed.
The Labor Party will resign if Giske is elected
Shocked
When asked by Dagbladet about the circumstances that led the nominating committee to reject their own recommendation, Grande said:
– Things developed very fast. It was experienced as difficult for many, especially those who have told their stories. And I hear more people say: Why haven’t we gone further as a party? The nominating committee has been very involved. Therefore, we must create an attitude that is committed to creating the culture where such things do not happen. It was crucial that we landed on this stage, Grande replied.
New histories
He says the committee received a lot of comments during the work, but was unaware of the new warnings against Giske and the stories about the culture of fear and an unhealthy party culture against which AUF girls had to be warned.
– These stories were new to all of us. In the nominating committee, at least we have not received such stories before the recommendation was presented. It was new. We were prepared for the debate, but not so much, says Grande.
