The Council of the Sami Parliament has today decided to take legal action against the state over the decision to electrify Hammerfest LNG (Melkøya). This is what the Sami Parliament writes in a press release. – We believe that the Melkøya decision can be contested in court because it has neither been sufficiently investigated nor consulted, and then the ordinary rules for case management have been broken. This is about legal security in land management in Norway, says Sámi Parliament President Silje Karine Muotka. In the press release, they write that the Sámi parliamentary council has advocated that the Melkøya decision must be overturned. The council believes that this has not been respected and thus there have been no political processes about the consequences of the Melkøya decision. – When there is a conflict that cannot be resolved politically, it is only natural to go to the courts to resolve it, says the Sámi Parliament president.
