– I want a strong social democracy, says Giske on Monday’s political quarter. Ahead of the annual meeting of Trondheim Ap, Giske was accused of working behind the scenes and planning a coup. Giske was nominated by the election committee as a board member in the party team, but before the committee’s proposal went to a vote, the proposed deputy leader Marit Selfjord herself took the podium and suggested that she and Giske should switch places. – This is what democracy is. It is the opposite of a coup, said Giske after he was elected as deputy leader of the Trondheim Labor Party. Gunn Elin Høgli stepped down as leader of the Trondheim Labor Party with a comforting hand on the shoulder from a party colleague.

He also believes that Nidaros behaved orderly at the meeting. – We set our delegates free. A third of our delegates voted against the proposal. – I think we stayed completely away from personal characteristics, media debate and attacks on the partial case. – Was it someone else who did it? – You can say that. – Hasn’t said a bad word about the person who left Giske also repeats that the claim that came from the departed leader Gunn Elin Høgli is not true. – No, absolutely not. I flatly reject that. She said from the lectern that Giske had called her in May after an appointment in the election campaign. Giske is said not to have liked this, and said that Høgli was going to be felled because of this, which Giske says is not true. He doesn’t mean Nidaros either and he has said something special about Høgli. – Haven’t said a bad word about the person who left. He thinks the members are being devalued He also believes that the row at the weekend shows a devaluing of “ordinary” members in the party. – This is an understatement. Nidaros has 4,482 members, each and every one of them can and will think for themselves. Thus, he again believes that there are attitudes towards members that are worthy of criticism. – It cannot be the case that people who sit in the best positions at the top think that they are the only ones who can think. We must get that respect into politics and society. NEWLY ELECTED DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Trond Giske elected as deputy chairman of Trondheim Ap this weekend.
