It is an unacceptable threat to democracy that minorities (implicitly referring to the indigenous Sámi) have special protections and that international conventions (against crimes against humanity, etc) go before "equality under the law",
declared the party leader of the far-right "Progress Party" of Norway at a party conference this Saturday.
Ella Mari Hætta Isaksen today commented that "I think all of political Norway, and we see them doing this too, must strongly distance themselves from the claim that we must withdraw from international conventions. Like, it CAN NOT, heh, be thus that we collectively punish the people and remove our rights due to the State committing human rights violations. It is completely unacceptable and simply irrelevant to this debate".
