Drammen, Politics | Amrit Kaur apologizes again:

THE DRAMA: She did that on Politisk kvarter on NRK on Monday morning.

As Drammens Tidende has mentioned several times before, Rød Ungdom leader Amrit Kaur labeled Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and oil fund manager Nicolai Tangen as terrorists in a TikTok video. The statements were made in connection with the conflict in Palestine.

Kaur apologized for the statement at the weekend and made a clarification of her own on Facebook.

– The terrorist attack against AUF was completely reprehensible. Children were killed to wish for a better world, and of course I understand that this is painful for Astrid and AUF to talk about. It became a derailment to call someone a terrorist, and by doing so I trivialized the experiences of the survivors and their relatives. I apologize for that, know that was absolutely not the intention.

Kaur, who also sits on the main committee for upbringing in Drammen municipality, later deleted the video.

Now she has apologized again.

– What I regret now is primarily that I used the word terrorist in the description of Jonas Gahr Støre. It wasn’t just stupid, reckless and wrong — it’s not right, Kaur said.

Confronted with the fact that secretary general Syver Kleve Kolstad in Rød Ungdom followed up by saying that 22 July is used as a counter-argument against people who criticize Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, and called it “completely reprehensible”, Kaur said that the handling was “really bad”.

– There is no 22 July card to go, and it would be completely wrong to imply that there was, said Kaur.
