SOON It’s called Christmas. It comes with different expectations, habits, and beliefs, but Norway’s unifying story is one of poor people traveling and giving birth in a stable. Because there was no place elsewhere.
We ourselves have a lot of space in every way. Sometimes so much that we don’t understand it. So it’s good that young sports idols like Martin Ødegaard come and fan the Norwegian Christmas peace; breaks the bright picture a bit so that we can see ourselves more clearly in relation to the rest of the world.
Because when it comes to the treatment of asylee children, Norway is still enough. So we need people who dare to speak up.
Martin, like many others, wants to stop the eviction of 18-year-old asylum seeker Mustafa Hasan. That is the soccer star’s wish for Christmas.
And it is not too big.
APPARENTLY The only 22-year-old Real Madrid star has fulfilled most of his wishes in life. He was a supposed “prodigy”. No Norwegian boy treated football like him, no player had ever been fired in the Norwegian Eliteserien before and none of us, when we were 16 years old, have been taken to one of the most powerful clubs in the world.
On Christmas Eve last year, the Spanish newspapers wrote that this “Reals diamond” was worth it. in billion for the club.
As if that price really had real value to Martin’s life or fulfilled some of his wishes.
Ødegaard frustrated: – Completely wrong
THE It was this about what Martin Ødegaard himself wrote on Instagram the other day when he asked us to rethink what it costs Norway to evict Mustafa Hasan just to set the example that no one is worth escaping to us .
That punishing the children of the nursing home for the possible mistakes of the mothers does not benefit our Norwegian community:
– To me, it is obvious that all common sense has been put aside in this case, and Mustafa is being punished for something he has not done himself.Martin wrote after calling Mustafa and hearing this old story again.
That is to say, that of the poor who travel and the lack of housing.
This is Norwegian law
A LITTLE Later, Mustafa received as a gift a uniform of the Norwegian team signed by all the players. It was delivered to Asker’s school on the outskirts of Oslo; the hometown where your right to stay with us has become a local issue.
This is also Norwegian sport at its finest. The right of young people to play, the opportunity of adolescents for companionship and the opportunities of adults for health. That we take care of ourselves where we live.
Without giving much thought to “immigration regulatory considerations.”
OF Norwegian football’s biggest stars like Martin Ødegaard, Jens Petter Hauge and Caroline Graham Hansen, along with all the other players on the national team, have become involved in the local case of Mustafa Hasan. Like RBK captain Tore Reginiussen, he was central to Trøndelag last year in stopping the eviction of young Afghan footballer Eshan Abbasi.
All these local cases occur because the local community sees how the Norwegian asylum system does not tolerate the encounter with individual destinations.
But why do we tolerate the system so easily?
MUSTAFA He came to Norway when he was six years old and he doesn’t really know anything other than everyday Norwegian life. That he’s still not considered Norwegian enough, it’s really not understandable when you sit around.
This is the system flaw that Martin Ødegaard wants to address, but that’s where the influence stops for even the greatest sports idol. So it should be. We have other and better opportunities to change the national asylum system when we see that it collides with the local reality. Everything is decided at the Storting.
FOR Right now, there is a great political struggle for ownership of this local reality. Trygve Slagsvold Vedum has made the Center Party the biggest because few explain power in local Norway as convincingly as he does.
Rising Norwegian politicians have often sided with the sports movement. More recently, it was Erna Solberg who danced at the Sports Gala before beginning her term as Prime Minister. But we still haven’t heard Slagsvold Vedum pay tribute to sports stars fighting for the values of sport, nor have we seen him champion local democracy in Asker who warmly offers accommodation to Mustafa.
GIVES The wish for the day before Christmas Eve this year must be a Center Party populist who really thinks Norway first and holds Mustafa Hasan and the Asker family together.
Not because the hottest sports idols sign the national team uniforms and present their biggest Christmas wishes, but because it’s about values like human dignity, hospitality, and generosity. The ties between us Norwegians, who build communities large and small.
What opens the doors to the poor who travel.
And thus creates a peace that lasts longer than Christmas.
