– It seemed a bit high to me to think that the Center Party could be something for Jacobsen, says Bjørg Sandkjær to Dagsavisen. The statements he is referring to are the words that the now-excluded Oslo Progress Party leader Geir Ugland Jacobsen gave Dagsavisen on Wednesday:
– Maybe the Fiesta del Centro has a higher ceiling? Although the Center Party thinks that there are some who are incompatible with what I want to say, I also thought that they have a lot of good. I am not religious considering which party I want to represent. But there must be room for idealism, Jacobsen said.

– If you take a look at our party program, you will probably find that the distance between us is very great, you will probably not feel at home with us, says Sandkjær.
The Oslo Center Party leader was a bit upset when she read the interview today.
– I thought that now it is important to be able to say something about what the Center Party really represents. The Center Party wants an inclusive nation-state and we want international cooperation where independent states cooperate, as in the UN. We want to protect people who flee and we will actively participate in cooperation on climate cuts and help to reduce global poverty. I don’t perceive that it does, says Sandkjær.
Happy growth
– It hasn’t been long since Jan Bøhler announced a transfer to you, are you open to more transfers?
– We are very happy to have an increase in membership in Oslo. We are glad that people with political experience and knowledge are coming to us. We have gained many members during 2020 and that is positive. But it is also important that new members know what the Oslo Center Party and the Center Party stand for, says Sandkjær.
The Bøhler effect has definitely led to a rebound for the party in Oslo. In a November poll conducted by Sentio on behalf of Nettavisen and Klassekampen, the party received up to 7.5 percent support in the capital, enough to win two Storting seats. Sandkjær also notes that the party has seen tremendous growth in membership.
– We have grown a lot this year. We now have 260 members, almost twice as many as last year. It says something about more people who think the Center Party is relevant, that we also have good solutions in the city, says Sandkjær, pointing to cases like Ullevål hospital and police reform as examples.
