news has been in contact with a number of grassroots representatives in KrF after the row culminated in allegations of an attempted coup. The willingness to speak out publicly varies, but several describe the situation as intolerable and “not to be tolerated”. – I have many comments, but none of them are suitable for print, says one of the party members with whom news has been in contact. According to the newspaper Vårt Land, raising suspicions, backbiting and freezing out are among the charges in the notice against KrF head Olaug Bollestad. See a bunch of the reactions below. Sondre Dalaker Trude Brosvik, group leader in Vestland KrFD It is difficult to give advice when you do not know the situation. The situation is not good for the party. It is important to quickly clarify where the party’s best interests are prioritized. Private Frode Bøthun, group leader in Sogndal KrFEg expects that everyone involved understands that this damages the party and that there will be a clarification as soon as possible. Speech Hauso Morten Helland, KrF mayor in BømloFolk is questioning and sad. One gets upset on behalf of the lease and those who stand up in it. I hope they get good working order internally in the party to solve this. I think a lot about the people involved. Of course, no one wins from this. news Jon Olav Økland, deputy head of Vestland KrFEg wishes Olaug a speedy recovery. When it comes to the notification, of course I do not know the contents of it apart from what is referred to in the media, but I have confidence that it will be handled in an orderly and good manner, in line with the routines of the party. news Gustav Johan Nydal, head of Kinn KrFEg, hopes they will be able to find a good solution to move forward. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of details in the case other than what news has published Privat Svein-Ottar Sandal, Gloppen KrFM The notice to central management has been that it has not been communicated what is the reason for the sick leave. Then there will quickly be speculation. The observation from the ground level is that the central political leadership has been too little visible in the political debate on important issues for KrF. Leif Rune Løland Jarle Jacobsen, deputy mayor of Sveio and member of the Vestland county board I have confidence that the central board will deal with this case in a good way tomorrow, Thursday. – Hurts extra in KrF In a comment in Vårt Land, Emil André Erstad writes that personal conflicts hurt extra in a party that operates with a higher sky than its competitors in the Storting: – Politics is not just politics in KrF. Where other parties fight for power, win and lose, it cuts much deeper in KrF. It’s about trust and conscience, writes Erstad, who was an adviser to Knut Arild Hareide during the much-discussed road election process in 2018. He adds that no party has a higher flow in management and that “tenant consumption” testifies to a crisis that breaks deep water. – Not since Valgerd Svarstad Haugland took over as party leader in the 90s has a KrF leader had a good start or end. There is a storm in KrF after party leader Olaug Bollestad was confronted with complaints and reactions to his leadership style earlier this summer. Here’s a picture from 2023, the time when the tenants agreed better. Photo: NTB On Tuesday, deputy leaders Dag-Inge Ulstein and Ida Lindtveit Røse made a joint statement. The letter was also signed by secretary general Ingunn Ulfsten and parliamentary representative Kjell Ingolf Ropstad. – This is a very demanding situation for everyone in KrF, they write. Bollestad has been on sick leave since the beginning of June. She is on sick leave until 31 August. news commentator Lars Nehru Sand believes that the situation is so acute that it is only a question of when Bollestad bows out: – At the same time, one must understand that she wants to fight for her honor and her reputation. But as the situation has become, it is becoming more visible that it is impossible to rent KrF, he says. – Well Ida and move on If Bollestad resigns, a new leader will be appointed at an extraordinary national meeting. During the 2023 school elections, KrFU went up in all the counties, and as a “tilt party” in the middle, KrF can play a decisive role at the next election. If the party ends up above the barrier, the bourgeois coalition has a good chance. If they don’t manage the barrier limit, it will immediately get worse. – Well Ida and move on, writes Minerva editor Nils August Andresen, who wants a conservative government. – The hope was that (Bollestad) would be a unifying leader, that the party could have peace of mind to build itself up – and perhaps that she could inspire some of her countless Instagram followers to tip KrF over the barring limit, he writes. – Now that hope is close to disappearing. news / Copyright news 2011 Nils August Andresen, Minerva editor – The last time KrF was in crisis, the leader forced them to choose a path that the members had not actually asked for. Once again, it is the leader who causes the problem, no one had ordered it. William Jobling / n647304 Dag-Inge UlsteinDeputy leader Dag-Inge Ulstein’s behavior during the party leader debate in Arendal makes more people want him as the new KrF leader. Stian Lysberg Solum Ida Lindtveit Røse Ida Lindtveit Røse has put forward a more pragmatic attitude to the abortion law than is usually associated with KrF. In an SMS to news, she writes: “I cannot give any comments or quotes on this until the management has met the Central Board. The quote that was sent together from the parliamentary group, the leadership and the secretary general still stands.” Published 21.08.2024, at 14.19
