– The people of Trønder now agree that Giske is on his way back again. That’s what VG commentator and debate manager Hans Petter Sjøli says after yesterday’s meeting. Giske was chosen as the top candidate on the nomination list for the Trondheim Labor Party before next year’s parliamentary election. – He is a skilled, skilled player. And he knows what he’s doing. Sjøli believes the comeback is a result of skillful and systematic work on Giske’s part. – Now the nemesis is coming back After he was elected top candidate on Thursday evening by a good margin, Giske answered optimistically when asked if he would now return to the Storting. – What happened here was very decisive, replies Trond Giske. But with a potential comeback in the Storting, it could breathe life into old conflicts. – Støre has talked a lot about renewal and about building a new crew. But now the nemesis is coming back again and with that will also come a lot of old conflicts, says Sjøli to news. – Old personal antagonisms are stirred up again, and it becomes difficult and demanding, adds the commentator. Giske himself believes he can contribute to the renewal he believes the Labor Party and Norwegian society need. – I think Norwegian society needs a revitalization of politics in general. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) tells news that he has respect for the outcome of the meeting. – I have great confidence in the county party doing its job. This is a party team in Trøndelag, so the process can go there. They make the decision and take responsibility for it, said Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) to news after the party leader debate on Thursday evening. Cold atmosphere in the party When Giske was elected as the top candidate in Trondheim Ap on Wednesday evening, he received a total of 104 votes. He thus won over Digitization and Administration Minister Karianne Tung, who received 68 votes. news has been in contact with Karianne Tung, but has not received a reply. At the meeting, Trondheim Ap showed how split the municipal party is internally. The processes leading up to the election received particular criticism. – I have a comment about what I believe to be missing case papers. They arrived very late, which meant that we didn’t get a proper advance notice, said Anne Sophie Hunstad from the podium. The same criticism and internal rift also emerged during the annual meeting of Trondheim Ap in February when Giske was elected deputy leader. Several of the members in Trondheim Ap have expressed their criticism of internal communication from leader Pål Sture Nilsen and towards Trond Giske.

This is what the editor of Nidaros, Lorns Bjerkan, says about the Trondheim Labor Party. The manager, Pål Sture Nilsen, says he will now start the work to gather the team in Trondheim Ap. – The main reason for bringing the team together is that everyone feels the same enthusiasm and commitment to standing up for the Labor Party and politics. – The election campaign, which starts now in the run-up to next year’s parliamentary elections, is a good arena for team building, adds Nilsen. Not back at the Storting yet It is not the first time that Trond Giske has made a comeback in politics. After he resigned as deputy leader of the Labor Party in 2018 in the wake of reports of sexual harassment, Giske has tried to make several comebacks in politics. – It is not the first time he has tried to come back. I started counting a bit yesterday and this is probably the fourth or fifth attempt, says Sjøli. And when he tried to be elected as a leader in Trøndelag Ap in 2020, representatives from AUF left the annual meeting in protest when Giske was to give a speech. AUF’s delegation at Trøndelag Ap’s county annual meeting chose to leave the hall when Trond Giske took the podium. And this time, Giske’s place in the Storting is not completely confirmed yet either, which can happen at the nomination meeting in the Labor Party in Sør-Trøndelag on 30 November. And then all the municipal parties’ lists must be assessed. But in contrast to the previous comeback attempts, Giske now has the country’s largest local team, Nidaros Sosialdemokratisk forum, at its back. Leader of AUF, Astrid Hoem, has no comment at the present time. Published 16.08.2024, at 19.32 Updated 16.08.2024, at 19.34
