Local team leader in Raudt supports emergency meeting – thinks Moxnes should step down – news Norway – Overview of news from different parts of the country

– I think that Moxnes should step down immediately, says local team manager in Raudt Nordland Viktor Stein to news. He believes the party is breaking its own statutes by retaining support for party leader Bjørnar Moxnes. County leader Kjell Oldeide in Raudt Sogn og Fjordane said on Sunday that the party must now engage further in the matter. – I think it is natural that the national board, as the party’s highest body, discusses and concludes in this matter, Oldeide told news yesterday. But in a comment to news on Sunday, Raudt’s party secretary Reidar Strisland said that there is no basis for taking the initiative for such a meeting. Stein reacts to that. – I have sent a message to the party secretary, Reidar Strisland. I believe that the matter must be discussed in the national board first, before the party expresses that they still have confidence in Moxnes. Moxnes has been in trouble after he was caught taking a pair of Hugo Boss sunglasses at Gardermoen two weeks ago. On Saturday, he met the press to apologize for what happened both to party members and others. Several of his party colleagues have said that they still have confidence in the party leader, but in the last 24 hours several voices from the party have expressed themselves critically.
