Towards one’s own party mate: − Approaching human rights violations (VG)
The leader of Oslo Unge Høyre, Elisabeth Tangen, comes down hard on Ola Svenneby’s plan to stop immigration. – Ironic that Svenneby wants to defend liberal values precisely by doing the opposite. You remove people’s right and opportunity to come to a democratic country for protection, and I think that is a liberal right in itself, says Tangen and adds: – What Svenneby wants is close to a violation of human rights. Svenneby disagrees with Tangen’s statement that the immigration freeze is a violation of human rights. – No, human rights say you must be entitled to protection and I have never objected to that. It’s a bit easy to say it breaks it, most likely it doesn’t. The proposal only changes how one chooses to provide protection. The seas

– Stoltenberg, be brave like a Ukrainian (VG)
NATO’s failure to invite Ukraine is an open invitation to Russia to continue the war, says Ukraine’s ambassador to Norway. Her message to Jens Stoltenberg is: – Be as brave as a Ukrainian. Don’t let the hesitance of certain NATO members kill even more civilians and soldiers. Our soldiers are not indecisive like the NATO countries are. If our soldiers had been, we would have lost the war long ago. The seas

Norwegians for Norway (Frithjof Jacobsen, DN)
The voters are escaping. Raise the flag. Most Norwegians are of course happy in Norway, but Sp’s attempt to appear more Norwegian than everyone else seems panicked. It is somehow not the time for symbols and easily inflated national romanticism when the problems are concrete and real. Is it because SP lacks real solutions that the party is turning its gaze inward and its spikes outward? The seas
The Labor Party’s swan song (Finansavisen)

Green victory – so far (Kjetil Wiedswang, DN)
The EU has a plan for the restoration of damaged nature, an important element of the Union’s “green contribution”. The vote in the European Parliament gave a narrow victory for the climate friends, 336 to 300 votes. A “bittersweet victory”, said activist Greta Thunberg, who demonstrated outside the parliament building, after the original proposal from the European Commission was watered down. If the Nature Act had been voted down, the EU’s “green grant” could have been set back significantly. Now the legislative marathon is still on track. It is hoped that the major decisions will be reached before the elections to the European Parliament in the spring of 2024. The seas
