– The cup ran towards me when KrF celebrated the 50 Moria refugees that Norway will receive. For me, it is impossible to support a party in a government that cannot do more than that, but boasts that we will get 50, John Harald Bondevik tells Dagbladet.
– The number should have been much higher before KrF could celebrate it, he adds.
The son of former KrF prime minister, Kjell Magne Bondevik, strongly opposes KrF’s current course in a column on NRK.no.
This is how Hareide became a minister
«…the match fails where it should have been better. On human dignity. I think that many in KrF, also in the administration, have really wanted to support gay people, other queers and other minorities. But to keep voters conservative, communication has been elusive and diffuse. And therefore exclusive. I can not join, nor sit and watch“, He writes.
John Harald Bondevik is also the father of Simen Bondevik, who through his position at KrFU supported Knut Arild Hareide during the route choice at KrF in Fall 2018.
In short, he refers to KrF in 2020 as a small popular-friendly Christian party.
– Special Christian values
And for Dagbladet, John Harald Bondevik explains what he thinks went wrong in the match he once referred to as his.
– KrF is no longer a party of values centered in the center, but has placed itself on the bourgeois side and has become a party for the innermost circles of the congregations. The focus is on Christian values, rather than being a broad popular party, he says.

– Did the choice of route make KrF narrow?
– KrF should be human dignity and environment, inclusion and diversity. This is not how the party looks today. KrF has become a conservative Christian party, he says.
– Is this a criticism of the party leader Kjell Ingolf Ropstad?
– That too, until now. For me, it is as much about Moria as it is about the speech that Ropstad gave to the national government. The issue was human dignity, and I thought it could lead the party on a better course, but instead it managed to build a conflict with the environmental movement, which really should be a close ally of KrF, says Bondevik.
Ropstad attack for nuisance
Ropstad’s fierce confrontation with the environmental movement last fall raised many eyebrows.
Simen’s “biggest fear” came true: – Hurt
– The Christian vision of man is under attack. There are some ideas that threaten values that many people have taken for granted, Ropstad said at the time.
It was right-wing extremism, pressure to hide religion in the public sphere, and the environmental movement that Ropstad was targeting. Some, like SV leader Audun Lysbakken, described the statement as “crazy” and “shameful”.
Kjell-Ingolf Ropstad did not respond to Dagbladet’s question on Sunday. Neither is Geir Morten Nilsen, general secretary of KrF.
It is no longer a KrF
John Harald Bondevik believes that KrF, under the leadership of Ropstad, has become a party concerned with symbolic Christian politics and with very little impact on matters that really concern the masses.
– KrF today has gotten closer to himself. I can no longer sit and watch, says Bondevik, who no longer considers himself a member of KrF.
– Do you miss your father’s legacy?
– This is my proposal, my father did not know that I wrote this article, says John Harald Bondevik.
