Norwegian debate, Norwegian politics | Skjæran is not some random person who stumbled upon an illegal party. He is the leader who should have stopped the party and sent everyone home.

(Debate in Northern Norway)

After two years As deputy leader of the Labor Party, Bjørnar Skjæran finally broke the sound barrier. It may be an advantage, it will soon be a choice. But perhaps he could have chosen a better case.

This has happened: After the first part of Nordland Ap’s digital annual meeting in Bodø ended last Friday, party leaders gathered to quench their thirst, in what is currently one of the most infested cities in the country.

What was going to be celebrated? What was the occasion? In Bodø, there are few bright spots in a tough fight against a serious illness that has brought old and sick, families and young people to their knees before the business community. The day before, a serious mayor of Bodø had introduced new and highly intrusive measures in the fight against various mutated viruses.

After this you can only five people will meet, according to municipal regulations. But in the hotel room, eight people gathered to drink not insignificant amounts of alcohol, if we want to base the photographic evidence from NRK.

The same day The party’s leader, Jonas Gahr Støre, had said there would have been less Covid infection if the country was run by a Labor government.

Not many hours then his assistant took the elevator up to the party in the exclusive “Fleinvær” suite on the top floor of Scandic Havet in Bodø, which according to NRK costs 15,000 kroner a day.

Maybe it was precisely Støre’s powerful statement, on the Labor Party’s alternative handling of the pandemic, which had encouraged party leaders to come together for a toast with Nordlandspils and brandy.

The day after let NRK Nordland enter the suite to immortalize the stinger; The row of beer cans on the desk, liquor bottles and cans in the trash can. In what parallel reality do you live when you think that such things are neither discovered nor revealed?

Nordland Police District has started an investigation. Bjørnar Skjæran and the other participants in the match will now probably be fined 10,000 to 20,000 kronor each.

Then the powerful Labor MP was caught red-handed, it only got worse; He started the day by sending a short written apology and thought the case would be over.

Did no, and Skjæran made himself heard again at Dagsnytt 18. There, Skjæran apologized for participating in the after-show.

He says that He was invited, who had a single beer and went to bed early.

Frankly, it’s a bad diversionary maneuver. Someone had planned the party, rented the suite, and bought the drinks. What did Skjæran know about it? And how could he allow himself to be drunk and fasted in this way?

As vice president of It is not enough for the Labor Party to regret its participation. He should regret that he let it happen and did not chase the group members home or to bed. It is your responsibility that the party has not stopped, and Skjæran should have said that today by inhaling and exhaling.

Skjæran gets it instead of sounding like he’s a random student invited to an illegal school party.

In this case actually, it is Skjæran who is the leader of the student council. And when the hangover dawns, you will understand that this continues on your account and the credibility of the Labor Party. It is human to miss out on life and learning. It’s the context that makes it uncomfortable. Because it is in times of crisis when we need leadership, when burnout increases and loyalty and trust are at stake.

What is it The Labor Party, which ends in a wet nachspiel, has a long tradition. But if the Labor Party’s criticism of the government’s handling is to be believed, Skjæran and Nordland Labor have made it more difficult with weak judgment and poor leadership.

Now look at it That Støre and the Labor Party let grace go to court this time. But the gods should know that not all the Labor Party nachspiel have been taken lightly. The deputies in particular have not participated. Ask Trond Giske.
