18 October 2023 at 19:13 Støre after Brussels terror: Must be safe to wear Norwegian football kits Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) emphasizes that it must be safe to be Norwegian both in Norway and abroad. Støre expressed his solidarity with the Swedish people during Question Time in the Storting on Wednesday, after two Swedish football supporters were shot and killed in Brussels ahead of the qualifying match between Belgium and Sweden on Monday. At least one of them wore a Swedish football kit, and Swedish supporters are now being encouraged not to wear national team clothes before matches. – What happened in Brussels is brutal and tragic. That football supporters, because they wear a yellow suit, are shot. In addition, Sweden has had the challenge of crime, which makes many insecure. So we are keen to be in solidarity with Sweden, to have close contact with them both politically and between our security authorities. And keep a close eye on the border. And then I will not analyze more why, says the prime minister to NTB. He adds that the security situation for Norway is closely monitored, but on follow-up questions he says that Norwegian football supporters should not need to go “in civilian clothes” to matches. – It must be safe to be a Norwegian both in Norway and abroad, and then everyone must follow along in a time that is more troubled. I think it is important to say that, that we have a responsibility to be aware. (NTB)
