– There is no drama associated with this. It feels right now. Although AUF has been my home for half my life, and of course it will be sad and wistful to say thank you for now in October. But once an AUFer, always an AUFer as we say, she tells VG.

The Labor Party fell by 9.5 percentage points at the last school election, from 26.5 in 2021 to 17.5 per cent in 2023. Both the Conservative Party and the FRP became bigger.

Only seven percent of young men stated after last year’s election that they vote Ap.

– It is far too bad, and we must do something about it. But I would like to mention that until last year we have won the school election since 2015, she continues.

Hoem makes a powerful generational settlement on the same day that she announces her departure.

– We are the first generation after the war to have fewer opportunities than the parents’ generation, she believes.

– Children are being bombed in Gaza, the climate crisis is urgent, we young people are losing faith in the future. Solidarity, community and justice are needed. And in order to achieve that, we must have a clear AUF that is ready to do what it takes to change the world, she says in a statement to NTB.

Hoem says that she is looking forward to working hard with the whole team every single day until the national meeting.
