20 June 2023 at 08:47 VG: Tonje Brenna gave board position to good friend Education Minister Tonje Brenna (Ap) gave board position to Frode Elgesem, in a center that gives money to Utøya AS, writes VG. Brenna got the job as minister of knowledge in October 2021, as part of Støre’s Labor Party/Sp government. When she was in the cabinet – as all new ministers do, she put forward possible difficult cases and friendships. – I said that we had to keep an eye on Frode Elgesem. And I said that I survived the 22 July terror, says Brenna on Tuesday. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap) confirms this to the newspaper: – Tonje has made several mistakes related to integrity. It is serious, and she has regretted it. Støre says he still has confidence in his minister. – I have had a thorough conversation with Tonje about this matter. I believe in what she says, and have confidence in her as a minister and deputy leader of the Labor Party.
