– The drug reform that the government advocates is very far from what the Progress Party believes. We are concerned that drug trafficking continues to be illegal.
Frp leader Siv Jensen says this to Dagbladet at the national Frp meeting today.
When asked if it means he will be punished if they take it with a user dose, Jensen answers “yes” but emphasizes.
– We are also concerned that people with substance abuse problems receive real medical care. But when it is illegal, you have to make it clear. There are too many young people walking around believing that now it will be free and that drugs are not dangerous. Decriminalization is a very bad idea, he says.
– So drug reform is also a very bad idea?
– Yes, we mean it, says Jensen.
Defender “Trump grip”
Excited for the debate
It is in a resolution that health policy spokesperson in Frp Åshild Bruun-Gundersen, according to NRK, got the Frp parliamentary group to agree that the Drug Reform Committee’s proposal for a drug reform will be reviewed.
She tells Dagbladet that she is excited about whether there will be a debate on the proposal at the national meeting, or whether it will be approved unanimously.
However, there is little doubt that it is adopted.
However, the FRP states that they support the intent of drug reform that serious drug addicts receive medical care and not fines or prison. However, it is clear that there must still be punishment.
– Scary
Drug reform has been one of the central themes of the Liberal Party, and liberal politician Sondre Hansmark does not like what he hears.
– There are many indications that no one in Frp has read the good report of the Drug Reform Committee. There are over 400 pages that clearly show that punishment does not work. It doesn’t give fewer users and it doesn’t help drug addicts, he says.
The liberal politician says he is happy that the FRP does not want to punish drug addicts.
– But why the police should use their resources to persecute those who use user doses, is incomprehensible to me. It’s scary that more and more parties are looking skeptical about the treatment path, he says.
– Are you afraid there will be no drug reform?
– Yes, I do that all the time that Frp seems to go against it; Sp does the same, and Labor cannot get a clear answer. We need a majority for this in the Storting, he says and emphasizes:
– What Frp says is also wrong. Drugs must remain illegal. The question is how do we deal with it, whether people are put into solitary confinement or treated.
– Vedum is misleading the voters
Towards fundamental questions
It is not the only one of the central themes of the Liberal Party that the national meeting of the FRP will probably now go against. The editorial committee led by Sylvi Listhaug is also in favor of a resolution in which the FRP declares that those who want it. It will still be allowed to buy gasoline and diesel cars after 2025.
– Frp has said that it supports the goal that it will only sell zero-emission cars in 2025. We agreed on this at the Storting, recalls Sondre Hansmark.
Promises difficult negotiations
KrF’s core issues aren’t free either. One of the main demands of the FRP in budget negotiations with the government is to reduce aid, which is now 1% of the state budget. The national meeting will also gather around this today.
In his speech today, Siv Jensen promised the Prime Minister tough negotiations on the state budget this fall.
– I have repeatedly reminded the Prime Minister that she runs a minority government. When Frp was in government and KrF and Venstre were out, they lobbied through a series of issues if Frp was against it. Now we are the ones outside. They must meet us, Jensen said.
