This has been confirmed by news from several sources, including central Høyre. It was Nettavisen that reported the news first. The fact that he is now a mayoral candidate in Hadsel in Vesterålen for the Conservative Party is welcomed. – He has a heavy political weight, and will have great impact on the government and the Conservative Party central, says a source in the Conservative Party to news. In any case, Freiberg’s political experience is nothing to say about. The 51-year-old was mayor in the aforementioned Hadsel from 2007 to 2015, for the Liberal Party. He was State Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy from 2015 to 2017. In 2017, he was elected to the Storting. From 2018 to 2019, he was oil and energy minister in Erna Solberg’s government. In the spring of 2021, Freiberg was defeated as the first candidate on the Storting list for Nordland Frp. It was Dagfinn Olsen who won the nomination battle. Will be presented on Tuesday evening news has not yet made contact with the protagonist himself. Leader of Hadsel Høyre, Andreas Riibe-Øien, will not confirm that Freiberg is running as a mayoral candidate. – We do not comment on anything that is in the media. We have made a timetable and we are following it, he says to news. The schedule is for the nomination committee to present its recommendation late on Tuesday evening in the municipal center Stokmarknes. Was thrown out of the Frp That Freiberg chooses to change parties is perhaps not so surprising. In November 2021, Freiberg was excluded from the Frp. The reason was allegations of leaks of an internal document. Freiberg confirmed this himself in a post on a closed Facebook page for shop stewards in the FRP in Nordland with over 160 members. “The county board in Nordland Frp has excluded me forever. Allegedly, I must have leaked an internal document to Dagens Næringsliv”. Freiberg himself denied having leaked anything, and news was eventually contacted by a source who thought he could prove that Freiberg was innocent. Freiberg chose not to appeal the exclusion anyway. – I have a meaningful everyday life outside of politics, so why should I spend time trying to get back a membership in Nordland Frp, which in my opinion is acting frivolously, he told news at the time. Today, Freiberg is public relations at the trawler company Holmøy Marine. The current mayor of Hadsel is 27-year-old Aina Nilsen from the Center Party. She is expecting twins this summer, but is still running for re-election.
