Storting Chairman Tone W. Trøen did not react when his party colleague, Prime Minister Erna Solberg (H), described the government’s attitude towards high executive salaries in the public sector on Tuesday as “quite Nazi.”
When Center Party leader Trygve Slagsvold Vedum on Wednesday referred to Solberg’s statement, the Storting chairman, on the other hand, intervened.
“During yesterday’s debate, the president should have pointed out that the use of the word ‘Nazi’ will probably be described as an inappropriate word, and not within parliamentary vocabulary, and therefore I will also point it out today,” Trøen said during the Vedum speech.
He explained that the word “Nazi” is not in parliamentary language.
– Burdensome
Erna Solberg explained to Dagbladet on Tuesday that the term “Nazi” was a popular way of saying that the government is strict when it comes to the salaries of public executives.
Trygve Slagsvold Vedum understands that Trøen intervened against him and not against Solberg.

– I only used Erna Solberg’s words about “Nazi” – that the government was “Nazi” – and probably only the chairman of the Storting thought of that in one day, Vedum told Dagbladet on Wednesday night.
– That word has so much emphasis, so I understand well that Tone Trøen chose to take the opportunity today, he says.

Storting President: – He became insecure
Vedum believes Solberg’s statement on Tuesday came abruptly, something Trøen confirms to Dagbladet.
“To be completely honest, the reason I did not reprimand the wording yesterday was that I did not hear exactly what was said and I was not sure how to suppress it. Today I was corrected by Vedum by taking it up again and I confirmed that I should have reprimanded that the word is not Parliamentary and inappropriate, ”he writes in a text message.
She writes that “of course” this is not a more benevolent treatment from her party colleague Solberg than from the leader of the Center Party.
That is why Erna is “quite Nazi”.
Vedum: – Derailment
Trygve Slagsvold Vedum believes that the “Nazi” discussion was a derailment of Tuesday’s debate, which ironically referred to executive pay in the rail sector.
– Their goal was to appear strict, but the fact is that the number of directors has doubled and salaries have increased, says Vedum.
– Why did you take up the matter today, was it to sprinkle salt on the wound after an unfortunate choice of words?
– Yesterday’s debate was that the layer of directors has increased so dramatically, and that wages have risen, while pension rights and job security for cleaners and drivers and others have deteriorated, he says, And it says this about Wednesday’s state budget debate:
– The connection to today is that those with more than a million income receive an average of 3,000 crowns in tax relief, while a typical cleaner earning around 400,000 crowns receives nothing.
