It must have been difficult to reveal her suspicions against her friend Laila Bertheussen.
“It is quite strange not to be afraid when you receive threatening letters in the mail and swastikas written on the car and you have PST and helicopters in turn,” said former Emergency Minister Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde when she testified at Laila Bertheussen’s trial. Photo: Gorm Kallestad
Wednesday morning witness the Ingvil couple and Christian Smines Tybring-Gjedde in the Laila Bertheussen trial.
Both of them spent most of their time in tough outbursts against the media.
None of them are particularly pleased with the mention of the “Hækaveh” messenger thread, which reveals a sensational dialogue between Laila Bertheussen, Tybring-Gjedde and several other women in the FRP power apparatus.

Tybring-Gjedde: Bertheussen suspected after threatening letter
“In my house I’m just Ingvil. I am not a minister on Messenger, “said the former emergency minister.
But she really is.
And therefore you must now bear critical attention for rudeness and proposals that should not come from a Norwegian government minister.

Of course it’s embarrassing and outrageous that a private dialogue is being aired for the entire country. Christian Tybring-Gjedde’s frustration is understandable in that regard.
However, it does not look very good for a Storting politician to use his position as a witness in a trial to dishonor journalists who have written critically about his wife.
But where Christian Tybring-Gjedde didn’t have much more than that to contribute, Ingvil Smine’s Tybring-Gjedde delivered a certificate that deserves respect.

Eirin Eikefjord: Laila Bertheussen had a toxic and powerful cheer squad. At least it didn’t stop her.
In court she said how Laila Bertheussen was invited to the group, which acted as a valve for women at the demanding intersection of high politics and the “wife of”.
“It’s like when you are really mad at your neighbor,” Tybring-Gjedde explained. “You may want to order a load of crushed stone and relax in the driveway. But no. Nice to be able to say that.”
They fussed and exaggerated to bring out the frustration. But eventually Tybring-Gjedde realized that Laila Bertheussen was actually serious.
‘It came crawling, little by little. We saw that it became more and more serious on his part. It was a bit too much, ”he said in court.

There were several things that Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde replied to:
Bertheussen’s engagement gradually became very intense. She seemed strangely unafraid. By the way, the incidents only happened when she was home alone. The “Ways to See” video showed the wrong house, but the threat letter to Tybring-Gjeddene was sent to the correct address.
“It’s quite strange not to be afraid when you get threatening letters in the mail and swastikas written on the car and you have PST and helicopters in turn, but she seemed more upset. We couldn’t get a vote,” he said.

In step with the feeling Because something was wrong, Tybring-Gjedde no longer thought things were fun.
He found it strange that Bertheussen had mapped the people behind the “Ways of Seeing” play, and reacted to the fact that surveillance cameras never captured what happened.
His own participation in the messaging thread became noticeably more and more labile, gradually going from enthusiastic participation to an occasional passive thumbs-up.
“Little by little we think: Could she have done it herself?”
“It’s clearly a thought that you don’t want to think too far. It’s a surreal situation to get into. We didn’t dare speak about it until it became intrusive,” Tybring-Gjedde said in court.
Laila Bertheussen is accused of threats and “attacks on the activities of the highest state bodies”, and is said to have been very upset by the “Ways of Seeing” performance. What they show is my bedroom window. They dragged me out in public and lied to me, “she said during her explanation at the Oslo District Court last week. Photo: Egil Nyhus
There is no doubt about it that Tybring-Gjedde has been in a very demanding situation.
He had become involved in a friendship with Laila Bertheussen. She was a close colleague of her partner, the then Justice Minister Tor Mikkel Wara, both in the Ministry of Justice and in the government. She was Minister of Social Security and Emergency Preparedness. Since the Tybring-Gjedde couple received threatening letters, she too was offended in the case.
“How can I say that I thought it was the common law minister who did this?” He said in court.
It is understandable that he hesitated.
Eventually the suspicion turned so strong that Tybring-Gjedde and Rita Karlsen from the Human Rights Service (HRS) agreed to notify the Prime Minister.
A few days before Bertheussen was indicted in the case, she appeared before a ministerial council.
In court, they asked her if she felt stabbed in the back by Bertheussen. “Yes. I think ‘it goes without saying,” Tybring-Gjedde replied.
It must still have been difficult to reveal his suspicions against the bride, both in court and in government.
We support each otherBut there is a limit, ”said Tybring-Gjedde of Ingvil Smine in court.
The prosecution is guaranteed to be happy with that.
