Mehl has accused the county mayor of “prostituting herself for power” and has said that the school closures are contrary to what the Center Party and the Labor Party are working for in government. – Not good Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre commented on Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl’s statement where she said that the county mayor prostituted herself to gain more power. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre believes that Mehl has the “right, opportunity and duty” to get involved in local matters as an elected official, but has spoken to the minister about her use of words: – Characterizing other politicians’ choices as prostitution is not right, Støre points out. , and adds that upper secondary schools are a responsibility the county politicians must take. Several criticize Mehl for untimely intervention in the school dispute in his home county. The school dispute in Inlandet A majority of the Inland County Council, i.e. the Labor Party, MDG and the Conservative Party, had agreed on a new school structure where several schools must be closed: Skarnes upper secondary school Dokka upper secondary school Dombås secondary school, Nord-Gudbrandsdal secondary school Lom secondary school, Nord-Gudbrandsdal secondary school school Flisa secondary school, Solør upper secondary school Sønsterud secondary school, Solør upper secondary school The entire offer at the Sønsterud school site will be moved to the Våler school site at Solør upper secondary school. In addition, a number of educational offers will be moved or discontinued. The decision has caused strong reactions among pupils and teachers.

Raymond Johansen, former Oslo city council leader for Ap, thinks Mehl is rather adding fuel to the fire.

At the same time, she does not distance herself from a mayor who calls for war, writes Johansen. – We hear that PST has been contacted because the situation is considered dangerous. The country’s justice minister prefers to pour fuel on the fire, he writes on his Facebook wall. Emilie Enger Mehl is criticized for her use of language and mixing of roles in the case of the closure of schools in the hinterland. Mehl does not regret saying that the county mayor from the Labor Party “will prostitute herself” in order to gain power together with the Conservative Party. Mehl stood by her statements when she visited Politisk kvarter this morning. Nor did she distance herself from the mayor of Lom, Kristian Frisvold from Bygdelista, who on Monday declared “war”: That they did not need to be factual anymore in the school case, that “everything is legal”. He encouraged the audience to “go after the person” and find “crap” about the county politicians. On Tuesday, Frisvold denied that he had encouraged anything illegal. Kristian Frisvold believes that it is no longer necessary to be factual in the school debate and has encouraged digging up “crap” about the county politicians who want to close schools.

When asked about role mixing, the Minister of Justice in the Political Quarter said that she, as a parliamentary representative from the Hedmark Center Party, must speak out. – I have a voice and I believe I would have failed if I didn’t use it in such an important matter, she says. – Should step down Group leader for the Conservative Party in the Interior Joakim Ekseth is critical of Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl (Sp) getting involved in the discussion about school closures in the Interior. – She is the Minister of Justice and she cannot detach herself from that. What she is doing here is an untimely mix of roles, he said on news’s Politisk kvarter this morning. Joakim Ekseth in Høre i Innlandet calls the Minister of Justice’s intervention untimely. Photo: Ida Lillebo / news Ekseth believes the wording is not appropriate for a minister, and in any case not a minister of justice. – She legitimizes a word change we do not want in Norway, which we know from the USA. When she leads the way like that, the road is short for others to follow. Hanne Alstrup Velure believes Mehl must resign as minister.

Today’s appearance by Norway’s Minister of Justice in Politisk Kvarter is a clear declaration of bankruptcy for herself – and for democracy if this is allowed to pass. The Conservative Party and the Labor Party jointly govern the Labor Party, the Conservative Party and the Green Party entered into an electoral cooperation after the county council election last autumn. The Labor Party has the county mayor and the Conservative Party has the deputy mayor. The Center Party received as many candidates as the Conservative Party but did not join the collaboration.
