The Labor Party has fared poorly in the latest polls, with a support of 17 percent. Now several trustees in the party believe that Jonas Gahr Støre must be replaced. news has spoken to more than 25 central sources in the party, who have confirmed that talks are ongoing about the appointment of Støre. TV 2 also wrote about the matter earlier today. So far, none of the leaders in the party have said outright that they want a new party leader in Ap. Should be dealt with internally Storting representative Nils O. Foshaug from Troms says questions about the hiring of Ap should be dealt with internally in the party and believes that leaks rarely lead to results. He will not answer whether he has confidence in Støre. – I say my trust in party leader Støre to the party and to Støre directly when it is appropriate, he says to news. Tromsø mayor Gunnar Wilhelmsen tells news that it is not up to him as mayor to comment on the trust in party leader Støre. – I left this to key people in the party. Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum (Sp) believes the prime minister is doing a safe and solid job. – He is very conscientious. It is not natural for me to comment on Ap. As prime minister, he is good, says Vedum to news. Need for a change Storting representative for Østfold since 2013, Stein Erik Lauvås, says to Aftenposten: – We have seen a development over time where it has gone down, that is a fact. I have great respect for Jonas and the job he has held for many years. But when all is said and done, I think we are now at the point where a change of management is necessary and that Støre retires. To Aftenposten, Lauvås says that it would be good to have a change in the party, also organizationally. He therefore believes that party secretary Kjersti Stenseng will resign. Lauvås, on the other hand, has no thoughts about who can replace Støre yet. Neither Stenseng nor Lauvås has responded to news about the case. The Labor Party in crisis Conversations about the Støre lease have mainly taken place at a higher level within the Labor Party and in the trade union movement. Several have expressed dissatisfaction with the management of Støre and concern about the poor support for the party. Former minister Anette Trettebergstuen, who sits on the APS central board, made a critical statement after the nomination meeting at the weekend: – The Labor Party is in deep crisis. The leader should soon see and say that, she wrote on Facebook. Published 02.12.2024, at 18.39 Updated 02.12.2024, at 18.40
