– In a time with almost 200,000 unemployed, they prioritize this urgent proposal as well as one and a half kroner cheaper beer. It is nonsense and shows that the desire for power is strongest, Gharahkhani says to Dagbladet.
He refers to the FRP demand to increase the residence requirement from three to five years for permanent residence in Norway, which the Storting will rush through later today after the budget agreement on the bourgeois side last week.

Gharahkhani believes that Prime Minister Erna Solberg, KrF leader Kjell Ingolf Ropstad and Liberal Party leader Guri Melby should instead have prioritized holiday pay for unemployment benefit recipients and to extend the temporary redundancy scheme until July, measures the Labor Party claims will be of great help to anyone who has been or remains at risk of becoming unemployed during the corona crisis.
– Erna is weakened. No doubt
– Desire for power
Gharahkhani believes that the leaders of the three government parties through the budget agreement with the FRP have first and foremost shown that they are concerned with retaining their own power. He intends to say this from the Storting’s rostrum later today.
– Not even a worldwide pandemic trumps the desire for power of Erna Solberg and her government. For me, it is clearer than ever before that the Conservatives, the Christian Democrats and the Liberals are doing everything to stay in power, says Gharahkani.
– But the Labor Party will itself put forward proposals in the Storting today that tighten the requirements for permanent residence in Norway and family establishment. Then it is good that Frp quickly gets such changes in place?
– We promote our proposals when the case is first considered. It is common practice. But asylum arrivals are at a record low due to the pandemic. This is not what is most urgent, when so many Norwegians have lost their jobs and feel that life has been turned upside down, says Gharahkhani.
Urgent through new immigration rules
Urgent through
KrF and the Liberal Party in the Storting will today do what they actually promised in the Sundvollen declaration in 2013, but which they opposed in 2016 when the case was last up for voting.
This concerns Frp’s long-standing demand to increase the residence requirement for permanent residence in Norway from three to five years.
– We register and understand that the FRP celebrates its breakthroughs, which we of course vote for in line with the agreement, said the Liberal Party’s parliamentary leader Terje Breivik to NTB this weekend.
The policy change entails an extra two years of temporary residence. If it becomes safe in the home country, the residence permit can be withdrawn and the refugees sent home.

No committee proceedings
It was FRP leader Siv Jensen as one interview with Dagbladet on Thursday announced that the residence requirement would be tightened already four days later – without committee consideration.
– Now there is a majority that ensures that the framing takes place, and then it is just as easy to get it done right away, Jensen said.
– This has left all traces of formalities before and has been thoroughly treated, she continued.
Woke up, TVNorge!
The proposal means that all foreigners who by 1 December this year have resided in Norway for three years or more, will have the right to permanent residence.
But then you must apply by the end of January, otherwise you will lose this right.
Rejects having broken the party’s rules
And for anyone who did not reach the residency requirement of three years by December 1, it is too late anyway. The place must go somewhere, Jensen thinks.
According to Frp, the current deadline of three years tempts many to cheat, in that they keep information hidden from the immigration authorities until the deadline is reached. By extending this deadline, the threshold for cheating is raised, is the argument.
