Drammen decided on Tuesday evening that they will only accept Ukrainian refugees. They can’t, says Minister Tonje Brenna. – This is a fundamental value issue, says Nordanger. – How to treat people and be open to sorting people that way. When the legislation is already so clear, we believe that it must have some consequence, he says. Wants legal assessment Now he wants a legal assessment of the decision. He believes it violates both the Discrimination Act and the Constitution. – And the reason why it is in the Constitution is precisely to secure the basic values that people should have. You can see that from afar here, says the SP politician. – How do you expect the police to follow this up now? – I expect that the case will be taken seriously, that it will not be dismissed because of the state of evidence or the capacities of the police. Because it can continue to be that there is something that comes rolling on a rock relatively quickly. Horse trade The resolution passed the municipal council with 29 against 28 mandates. – There are 29 representatives who have horse-traded about one thing or another and renounced basic values that we know they stand by. I don’t believe that the 29 representatives basically believe that this is okay, says Nordanger. Høyre, the largest party in Drammen, knows that they pressured the state. – We are challenging the priorities set by the state of Norway, and we are honest about that, said group leader Kristin Surlien (H) to news on Monday. Jon Helgheim (Frp) has defended it with a desire for good integration, and that Ukrainians are “easier” to settle than some other refugees.
