Veum emphasizes that PST must receive an inquiry from local police. – I have been in contact with the security service at the Storting, who in turn have been in contact with PST, who have notified the local police. They will now go to the site to investigate and create a report on the relationship, says Wold to news. Morten Wold (56) is from Vikersund and represents the Buskerud FRP in the Storting, where he has sat since 2013. – Being a politician can have its price – People think that blowing up mailboxes is a bit of youthful mob behavior that can happen. But it probably happens in the evening and at night. It is the timing that makes one perhaps become a little concerned that it may have other connections, says Wold. He says that he has not been involved in any particularly polarized debates recently. According to the Frp politician, this footprint should have been found at the post box.

There are many difficult debates today, with both the war in Ukraine and the situation in Gaza, says Wold and adds: – One must be aware that being a politician on a national level can also have its price. – What does such an event do to you? – You get a little worried, but you just have to go on with your life as normal. But you might take your own precautions then. Locks the door and does not visit places with contaminated environments. But I think that when the day is over, this will go its own way, says Wold.
