– Right now the frustration is so great in Kristiansand that it is discussed to what extent we can run an election campaign now. This is what Kristiansand’s mayor Jan Oddvar Skisland says after Thursday’s dishwashing meeting in Oslo with the party’s party secretary Kjersti Stenseng. In the meeting, he gave a clear message to the party leadership about how dramatic the last few days have been for the Labor Party in Kristiansand. Fearing the next election campaign It was Tuesday that the bomb hit the new Kristiansand municipality with force. Then it became clear that the government allows Søgne and Songdalen municipalities a referendum on municipal dissolution. It made the Labor Party in the country’s sixth largest municipality look extra red. Skisland asked questions about the government cooperation, and believes that parity can be pushed too much by the Center Party. Now he fears that the municipal split will be a central theme in the election campaign, and thinks it’s a shame if this overshadows what he believes are more important issues to highlight.

There is no good way to do it. He says, however, that he experienced the meeting with Stensberg as constructive and good. Now he hopes that the letter of assignment to the state administrator emphasizes the kind of service the municipality is able to provide. He hopes the letter is also clear on what the costs will be, not least for the smaller municipalities that this will have a greater impact on.

She says that this brings five years of uncertainty about the jobs and where employees will be located, uncertainty about service offerings and a lot of time for reorganization. Conservative leader Erna Solberg ruled when Kristiansand became a large municipality. She is surprised by this week’s development. Photo: Siv Kristin Sællmann / news – This goes beyond the focus on school and elderly care and having more activities. When you shift the focus to continue working on the reorganization and spend five years possibly returning to the previous municipality, it really means five lost years. She thinks it is strange that the Labor Party is helping to create uncertainty about the development of service offerings. – Uncertainty for as long as this adds up is critical in relation to being an attractive workplace and offering good services. You shift the focus away from what is most important now. Hi! Welcome to dialogue at news.
