The temperature was high during the NRK debate on Thursday night. – Now stop, Fredrik Solvang told Labor politician Masud Gharakhani.
– Nobody understands what that means! a harsh program director thundered at the Labor Party’s immigration policy spokesman, Masud Gharakhani.

Thursday night was the Moria fire and how many Norwegians will receive topics for discussion from NRK. It wasn’t long before the temperature in Marienlyst’s study was high.
Following the fire, the government proposed to bring 50 asylum seekers from Greece. At the same time, several have spoken out in favor of bringing in more, including the Labor Party. The Progress Party, for its part, has said Norway should accept zero.

– Cynical game
The program’s leader, Fredrik Solvang, repeatedly asked if it wasn’t unfair for Norway to choose a specific camp to pick up asylum seekers. He pointed out that there are several Greek islands where thousands of vulnerable children live.
– It’s a cynical game, where someone has a much better ticket to stay. Because someone has come to Europe. No one cares about the refugees around Lake Chad, because going there is life threatening, said senior researcher Morten Bøås of the Norwegian Foreign Policy Institute (NUPI).

– now you stop
Labor Party immigration policy spokesman Masud Gharkhani said the party wanted to accept up to 500. But on repeated questions from the host, the Labor Party spokesman was not so clear if he would actually pick them up at Moria camp.
– What we have said is that together with the UN we want to help Moria and help Greece. In addition to securing 500 refugees with additional quotas, we should not reduce that support by reducing the number of refugees with quotas elsewhere, Gharakhani said.

– It is not just me who has trouble understanding what the Labor Party means. Several of your fellow party members have asked you to make it very clear that you want to get 500 from Moria, is that what you want? Solvang asked again.
NOT CLEAR: Labor Party immigration policy spokesman Masud Gharakhani was repeatedly accused of double communication, as it was unclear whether the Labor Party wanted to pick up asylum seekers from Moria camp.

– Yes, that is, our room for maneuver is 500.
– From Moria? Solvang asked.
– What we have said is that it is a bit special that it is the Labor Party that points to a number. We want to use the UN, which has the best experience in this, said Gharakhani.
After repeated attempts by the host to clarify what the Labor Party meant, it thundered:
– No, now you go!

Several times the host claimed that the Labor politician was communicating twice. When Gharakhani denied it, the host insisted.
MDG politician Une Bastholm, however, was very clear. He wanted to receive 1500 from the Moria camp.
– It is similar to the figures we received from Greece and Italy in 2016, after the Mediterranean crisis. Also think of a number, you are absolutely right, there is a difference here. We are talking about numbers. But we are talking about people. We are in Norway, which is a rich country, with a lot of capacity, said Bastholm.

Principal investigator Bøås, on the other hand, thought it was deeply problematic for politicians to choose people from a specific field in our immediate area.
– They are very visible, and in a country with which Norwegians have a relationship. But then there are a large number of refugees who remain invisible, Bøås said during the debate.
He thought the debate would end with something “full of symbols” that has no meaning in the big picture.
