Greta Thunberg stirs emotions in Norway.

Now the Progressive Party wants to port her out of the country.

– Would be serious and illegal, say Thunberg’s lawyers.

The right-wing populist Progressive Party wants to deport Greta Thunberg from Norway and stop her from visiting the country again.

The reason?

The climate activist’s protest against illegal wind farms, which threaten Sami rights, in central Oslo earlier this week.

– We do not benefit from foreign professional protesters being allowed to return to Norway, if they have previously committed illegal acts, says FRP’s immigration policy spokesperson Erlend Wiborg in connection with the actions according to TT.

Thunberg’s lawyers protest the outcome.

“Deporting Fosen protesters on the grounds of civil disobedience would be serious and illegal,” Thunberg’s lawyers Olaf Halvorsen Rønning and Maria Hessen Jacobsen say in a press release.

“On the contrary, the Norwegian values ​​of democracy and freedom of speech are something that the majority value highly.”
