Siv Jensen’s project cracks.
He is out of government, at the polls he does it miserably and the Oslo party has lagged behind. The nation’s largest newspaper writes that Jensen is “surrounded by idiots.”
The name of this week in Norwegian politics was not budget comrades or Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, but the county leader of the Progress Party in Oslo, Geir Ugland Jacobsen. Controversy has been on the line for the outspoken nationalist since he was elected in February this year. Externally, he has taken a surprising stance on immigration policy, climate policy, and foreign policy.
But the worst thing for the party is that it has openly defied the party leader.

This summer, he asked if Jensen should be number one on the Storting’s list. On Wednesday, Dagsavisen wrote that Jacobsen’s act of leadership was to be discussed at a secret and extraordinary meeting of the county board. Exclusion of their own leader was on the agenda. The local team did not conclude and the case returned to the central organizing committee of the match. The committee has made a written indictment and believes that Jacobsen has exceeded his powers as chairman.
It is claimed that he has undermined the leadership of the party and that this is “highly reprehensible”.
The Oslo party has long been a time bomb under Siv Jensen. The Jacobsen trio, Carl I. Hagen and Christian Tybring-Gjedde have been eager for more extreme politics. The party decided at the last annual meeting that Norway should become a “patriotic beacon”. Now the party is trying to disarm the uprising in Oslo by taking out Jacobsen.
This summer, several city councils came out in favor of the closure of Oslo Frp.

Geir Ugland Jacobsen was elected county leader in late February with party leader Siv Jensen in the hall. The democracy party has spoken out and designated it as the leader. Infighting can be troublesome, challenging from the leader, and wrong course, but disagreement must be accepted in a democratic party. The controversy over Jacobsen’s style and approach is an expression of the Progress Party’s struggle in fierce adversity. Frustration grows throughout the organization. When the manger is empty, the horses are bitten.
