- The bottom point in the debate around AUF in the autumn of 2011 must be the leader of Dagens Næringsliv on 25 November 2011. «As long as the victims speak in public spaces, they also have a responsibility. We will live with the aftermath of July 22 for many years. We must find a way that does not ruin the public conversation about immigration and integration ", the newspaper wrote.
In other words, some had a responsibility to express themselves: AUF itself.
The message in Dagens Næringsliv's leader was so brutally insensitive that it becomes involuntarily comic. At the same time, it sums up so well what the underlying mood this autumn really was: Those who were shot by the far-right terrorist must be careful how they behave, so that the immigration debate does not get upset.
As if the debate on immigration was a fragile, beautiful flower that could not stand that Norway's largest youth party, after being hit by right-wing extremist terror, warned against the consequences of conspiracy theories.
Lessons that one would think were absolutely basic for anyone who has the slightest insight into how political violence has previously arisen, should obviously not apply in Norwegian political debate. Because it could mean discomfort.
