– No interest in continuing a fight to remain a member – news Norway – Overview of news from different parts of the country

– A party that is not democratic also on the inside is unsuitable for defending democracy in the Storting. This is what Tybring-Gjedde says the day after it became known that he has been excluded from the FRP. He also says that he has no interest in appealing the decision. – I want an Frp that is controlled from the bottom up, not through directives from the top, he says further. The organizational committee has concluded that the statements he made in connection with the nomination process in Oslo Frp do not correspond to being a member of the party. Tybring-Gjedde told TV 2 late in June that “the recommendation from the nomination committee is a commission and party political corruption”. Tor Mikkel Wara and Simen Velle topped the list in Oslo for this nomination. – He has repeatedly, even after a formal warning from the organizing committee in 2021, not respected democratic processes and party decisions. It has therefore been established that we do not trust him to represent the Progress Party. This is what organizational committee leader Anni Skogman says in a statement on the party’s own pages. – Now it’s enough, enough It was the accusations of political corruption that must have been the “last straw” for the exclusion. – After an overall assessment, we have therefore chosen to say that now is enough, enough is enough, Skogman states in the message. Tybring-Gjedde received a warning from the party in 2021 when he offered a young woman with a hijab a thousand pounds if she took it off. Tybring-Gjedde will sit as an independent representative in the Storting for the rest of the parliamentary term leading up to the election in 2025. He has the opportunity to appeal the expulsion for 14 days. Published 15.07.2024, at 11.37 Updated 15.07.2024, at 11.48
