The Norwegian Opera & Ballet is wholly owned by the state and subordinate to the Ministry of Culture. In June, her friend Renate Larsen was appointed to the board of the Opera, reports Aftenposten. Trettebergstuen is now holding a press conference to comment on its competence. – I accept the consequences of my mistakes and leave, says Trettebergstuen. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre postpones his press conference today. – I’m very sorry – This concerns matters related to Renate Larsen, Bård Nylund and Tina Stigler. I have made several serious mistakes in the handling of my ability. I have not been aware of how incapacity should be handled, says Trettebergstuen. – I was not aware that when you are incompetent you cannot nominate people for a position either. – I am very sorry. I acknowledge that the mistake I have made is a serious breach of the civil service, says a sobbing minister. – I accept the consequences of my mistakes and resign, says Trettebergstuen. Thomas Breen was appointed board member of Norsk Tipping in April last year, and Sylvia Brustad was appointed chairman of Norsk Tipping in April 2023, according to the newspaper. The directorships must be worth NOK 278,000 and NOK 152,600 respectively. Earlier this week it became known that Minister of Education Tonje Brenna (Ap) gave a board position to a good friend Frode Elgesem. She later declared herself incompetent to Elgesem and apologized for the matter.
