“I don’t mean to call people who drive diesel cars populists,” Støre told NTB.
At a press conference in connection with the Labor Party national board meeting on Tuesday, the party leader distanced himself from a proposal that Labor Party energy and environmental policy spokesman Espen Barth Eide presented to NTB last week. pass. There, Eide said he believes the Center Party “is now addressing a number of somewhat populist symbolic issues, such as the skepticism that you won’t be able to drive out of Kongens’ gate in Oslo with a diesel SUV.
At Tuesday’s press conference, Støre said he has no need to use those words. According to him, you have to respect the fact that many people drive diesel cars in a long country like Norway.
For NTB, Støre emphasizes that he also does not want to call the Center Party populist.
– No, it is not a term I intend to use about them, he says.
– We have worked with climate targets in government and have met together before. I think the Center Party has an approach on this that we can agree on.
Eide has not responded to NTB’s inquiries about the statement.
