On Thursday, the Fosen campaigners expanded their campaign and sat in front of the entrance to the Ministry of Culture and Equality. Just before 7 o’clock several activists had sat down in front of the entrance. For a week, campaigners have demonstrated in front of several ministries. They have said they will campaign until the windmills at Fosen are removed. The Supreme Court has ruled that the windmills at Fosen violate the Sami’s indigenous rights. It was in October 2021 that it delivered its verdict, after the Southern Sami had sued Fosen Vind and Statnett. The police stated on Wednesday that the ministries fulfill a socially critical function. The activists were thus carried away from the entrance. Among those who were moved on by the police was the world-famous Greta Thunberg.
