TRONDHEIM (Dagbladet): “It was a difficult break. If there was someone with whom the Maoists were very tough, it was a break. Old friends that I myself had recruited for the movement, I saw a different path when I met them on the street.”
This is how Jan Bøhler describes the break with the Socialist Youth Association, the precursor to the AKP-ml, in his book Østkantfolk, which he presented to the public in Trondheim on Monday night, with former AP colleague Giske as president.
Bøhler has been a Storting representative for the Oslo Labor Party for 15 years, and politically active in the party for 35 years, but began his political career at SUF.
Now, as is well known, it has moved on again. Just two weeks ago it became known that he had joined the Center Party.
– Something completely different
– It was something completely different, he says when asked how a breakup of the Labor Party was compared to the breakup of the SU.
– Now we are talking about people with whom I have been friends for a long time. Many have been understanding, but some have resorted to name calling. It will be different when good friends put the party with a big “P” in front of the friendship. We must relate as human beings, says Bøhler.
– Then it becomes heavier or more difficult when someone insults, says Bøhler, but adds:
– At the same time, I have received a lot of support and sympathy from those who were close to me.
– It is not a loss
– Not good for work
Trond Giske also criticizes how Bøhler was met.
– The criticisms you have received don’t belong anywhere. It is almost as if he has left a cult. I think there is little question about who gets the sympathy, the sect or the splits. It was not good for the Labor Party. Jonas was clear on that too, Giske tells Dagbladet.
However, he admits that he was also upset when Bøhler switched sides.
– So sorry. He was hoping he would be with the team until 2021. He represents a district that is larger than most cities and has enormous confidence in Groruddalen and results that Gerhardsen could envy him, says the Labor politician, who himself has warned that it will not. stand for election to the Storting next fall.
– Have you considered an SP exchange yourself?
– No, I do not have. I have an incredible number of good friends in the Trøndelag Labor Party, and I will fight for us to win the elections in 2021.
– This is the longest period for the opposition Labor Party since we first came to power with Hornsrud in the 1920s. We no longer need to take that record, says Giske.
Progress in the first meeting
Bøhler himself, on the other hand, is very pleased with the party change and could happily say that he overcame everything in his first group meeting with the Center Party at the Storting.

His new party then called for a clarification in the law that psychological social pressure can also be forced marriage.
Bøhler criticizes the efforts made against criminal gangs, criticizes the reluctance to talk about the problems related to the immigrant communities and districts in Oslo. He also wants what he calls goodness in life.
– What distinguishes you from Carl in Hagen? A listener asked him.
– For me, they are my neighbors, my friends. I have never said that the key to doing something about it is to stop immigration. That is always the conclusion of Frp. There we have a different approach. I want to say what I think is important and necessary to speak, regardless of what other parties say, Bøhler said.
Borten Moe Hearing
In Trondheim, he also had a deputy leader in his new party, Ola Borten Moe, who belongs. He says he has a sense of what he hears and thought it might be SP policy.
– Add to the game dimensions in which I think we have very well and which are undoubtedly tremendously important. Not only for those who live in Grorudalen but for the entire country and the entire community. If we want to build a society that embraces everyone, then everyone must participate, says Moe.
