Former FRP Minister of Justice connects the Red Party with the murder investigation in Kristiansand. It is an ugly and unworthy accusation.

ManagerThis is a leader. The editorial expresses Bergens Tidende’s advertising idea: an independent, independent, liberal and bourgeois (non-socialist) political party newspaper.
Per-Willy Amundsen (Frp) points to the “left of violence” after the death in Kristiansand, where a former member of Stop the Islamization of Norway (Sian) was found dead.
Police are investigating the case as a homicide. Nothing has come out of the investigation to indicate that the murder was politically motivated.
Such events do not allow one of the former FRP justice ministers, and its current justice policy spokesperson, to remain. Amundsen speculates wildly on Facebook: “The hatred of the far left must be taken seriously. You can say what you want about Sian, but everyone has the right to free speech.”
But that wasn’t the worst thing Amundsen did after the murder investigation became known.
“There are elements in the Rødt party, which uses violence to promote its message, ”Amundsen tells TV 2. It is irresponsible to speculate that members of a political party may have been behind a murder.
The statements could put members of a legitimate political party at risk. And there is not a shred of evidence for the claim.
The Police Security Service (PST) writes in its latest report that there is the greatest danger of attacks by Islamists and right-wing extremists. The latter Norway sadly has bad memories.
The quote shows contempt for the field of the case for which Amundsen was once responsible.
What he says is a greater danger to democracy than the “violent left” with whom Amundsen speculates to politicize a tragic death.
Amundsen’s proposal should be another reminder that Erna Solberg (H) accepted too many unqualified FRP members as ministers.
The plot is not very unusual for Amundsen.
The Progress Party it is shaping up to be a “law and order” party. If you want to take root in reality, FRP leader Siv Jensen must act.
She must apologize on behalf of the party.
Not only can Jensen see his justice policy spokesperson speculate on a murder charge.
