– At a time with almost 200,000 unemployed, they prioritize this urgent proposal as well as a cheaper beer and a half. It’s silly and shows that the desire for power is stronger, Gharahkhani tells Dagbladet.
It refers to FRP’s demand to increase the residency requirement from three to five years for permanent residence in Norway, which the Storting will approve later today after the bourgeois side’s budget deal last week.

Gharahkhani believes that Prime Minister Erna Solberg, KrF leader Kjell Ingolf Ropstad, and Liberal Party leader Guri Melby should have prioritized vacation pay for unemployment benefit recipients and extend the plan of temporary layoffs until July, measures the Labor Party claims will be of great help to anyone who has been or remains at risk of being unemployed during the crown crisis.
– Erna is weakened. Definitely
– Desire for power
Gharahkhani believes that the leaders of the three government parties through the budget agreement with the FRP have shown above all that they are concerned with retaining their own power. He intends to say this today from the Storting rostrum.
– Even a global pandemic does not overcome the desire for power of Erna Solberg and her government. It is clearer to me than ever that Conservatives, Christian Democrats and Liberals are doing everything they can to stay in power, says Gharahkani.
– But the Labor Party itself will present proposals today in the Storting that toughen the requirements for permanent residence in Norway and family establishment. So it’s probably a good thing that Frp quickly implements such changes?
– We promote our proposals when the case is considered for the first time. It is a common practice. But asylum arrivals are at a record low due to the pandemic. This is not the most urgent thing, when so many Norwegians have lost their jobs and feel that life has been turned upside down, says Gharahkhani.
Urgent through new immigration rules
Urgent through
KrF and the Liberal Party in the Storting will do today what they actually promised in the Sundvollen declaration in 2013, but what they opposed in 2016, when the case was last up for a vote.
This refers to Frp’s old demand to increase the residency requirement for permanent residence in Norway from three to five years.
– We registered and we understand that the FRP celebrates its progress, that of course we voted in accordance with the agreement, the parliamentary leader of the Liberal Party, Terje Breivik, told NTB this weekend.
The policy change involves two additional years of temporary residence. If it becomes safe in the country of origin, the residence permit can be withdrawn and the refugees sent home.
No committee procedures
It was FRP leader Siv Jensen who, in an interview with Dagbladet on Thursday, announced that the residency requirement would be tightened four days later, regardless of the committee.
– Now there is a majority who ensures that the framing is carried out, and then it is just as easy to do it immediately, said Jensen.
– This has left all trace of formalities before and has been dealt with thoroughly, he continued.
I woke up, TVNorge!
The proposal means that all foreigners who before December 1 of this year have resided in Norway for three years or more, will be entitled to permanent residence.
But then you must submit the application before the end of January, otherwise you will lose this right.
Refuse to have broken the party rules
And for anyone who didn’t meet the three-year residency requirement by December 1, it’s too late anyway. The place must go somewhere, Jensen thinks.
According to Frp, the current three-year deadline tempts many to cheat, as they keep the information hidden from immigration authorities until the deadline is met. By extending this period, the threshold for cheating is raised, is the argument.
