2 April 2023 at 15:40 Minister at the landslide area in Troms: – Absolutely terrible The violent forces that have been at work during the landslide in Troms make a strong impression on the three government members who are visiting the area on Sunday. – There are great powers. It is very special to see. There are wreckage here, says Minister of Justice Emilie Enger Mehl (Sp) to NTB. Together with Fisheries and Oceans Minister Bjørnar Skjæran (Ap) and Agriculture and Food Minister Sandra Borch (Sp), the Justice Minister was taken on a boat on Sunday to take a closer look at the landslide areas in Troms. They came close to Reinøya, where two people in their 60s died on Friday when a farm was washed out to sea by the masses of snow. From the boat, the ministers could find wreckage and equipment, including a car, lying on the shore. – People stand no chance against these forces. People become very small in the encounter with nature, says Mehl. The Minister of Fisheries describes it as absolutely terrible to see what has happened. – You can see here on the shore that in addition to people and cattle, there is a whole life’s work that has been spent on the sea, says Skjæran.
