This is the first time Antonsen has appeared in public since he posted an apology on Facebook on 15 November last year when he was reported to the police for racism by Sumaya Jirde Ali. On the same day, it became clear that Antonsen asked for leave from “The Mission”, and a few days later he also resigned from the TV Norge program “The King Commands”. At 10 o’clock, Antonsen goes on air with partner Johan Golden in the radio program “The Mission” on P4. – This time we have chosen to have the Mission with both Antonsen and Golden as we have tried before. We don’t know how it will go, but we are betting that it will be successful and it starts now, said Golden when he introduced the first song. “The Mission” is broadcast from P4’s premises at Hasle in Oslo. Photo: Philippe Bédos Ulvin / news When Antonsen now returns to the limelight, there is tension as to whether and how he will address the controversy surrounding his person recently. news was in place outside P4’s premises at Hasle in Oslo in the morning hours to try to get a comment from Antonsen on his way to work. We have so far been unsuccessful in getting hold of him. Antonsen has also not responded to telephone inquiries from news. Case dismissed The racism case against Antonsen was dismissed on the basis of the evidence on 18 November, but was appealed to the Attorney General by the Antiracist Center and Ali. On 6 January, it became known that the Attorney General did not accept the complaint, and on the same day, P4 opened the door for the comedian to return to the channel. – An important clarification in this context is that the Attorney General concluded so clearly in his reasons for closing the case that the case “must be understood as a poorly successful attempt at satire on racism”, said Antonsen’s lawyer Marianne Klausen to news at the back of the Attorney General’s decision.
