LEVANGER: (Dagbladet): Jonas Gahr Støre starts, like Erna Solberg, the election campaign in Trøndelag.
The Labor Party leader meets here with accusations from Sylvi Listhaug (Frp) about a Labor-led campaign against Frp.
Local politician Roar Steinslien (Labor Party) accused Frp’s parliamentary representative Tor André Johnsen of coming up with «another input in favor of Breivik’s thoughts». The outcome came after Johnsen shared a case where Norwegian Muslims reacted to the way burgers are fried.
– Your SIAN friends will probably continue to vote for you this autumn, Steinslien wrote on the FRP’s Facebook profile.

– Campaign against ours
Listhaug is furious, and believes the Labor Party is trying to scare voters away from her party.
She thinks it all seems coordinated.
– I think it is completely insane that a Labor politician can get rid of something so mean and apparently get away with it. Had it been a FRP member who had said something like that, a total media elite would have demanded an answer from me immediately, Listhaug says to Dagbladet.

She now asks Støre to “clean up and apologize” for the outcome against Johnsen.
– This seems to be closely linked to the Labor Party’s campaign to stamp and brown our politicians, rather than discuss immigration policy. We know that with the Labor Party, there will be increased immigration to Norway, which goes beyond the Norwegian welfare model and puts our values under pressure, Listhaug continues.

Outside the Magneten shopping center at Levanger, the Labor Party leader kindly hands out roses and selfies to passers-by.
Jonas Gahr Støre emphasizes that only one man, Anders Behring Breivik, is responsible for the terror on 22 July.
– And no one, not even FRP members, should fight hard with him, Støre says to Dagbladet.
He also points out that PST warns against increasing right-wing extremist rhetoric, and concerns that this poses a threat to social security.

FRP strategy
Politicians must take this seriously when they take part in the debate, Støre explains.
– And the Labor Party’s concern has been that attitudes in part of the Norwegian public debate feed on conspiracy theories and hate rhetoric. We believe that one should distance oneself from it, Støre adds.
– Do you have a strategy, as Listhaug claims, to brown stain Frp?
– No, I’m completely unfamiliar with that. This is a recognizable FRP strategy of seeing oneself as a victim. I see the FRP as a democratic party that both in municipalities and in the Storting takes the democratic responsibility the voters give them. But their politicians must endure being met with counter-arguments, says Støre.
