Conservative General Lars Arne Ryssdal says Hoegh meant a lot to the party in several areas, and that she was a central health politician 20 years in Parliament. Hoegh was parliamentary representative for the Conservatives from 1981 to 2001.
– But she was also one of our main feminists and an important voice for the party in a time of upheaval when abortion and gender issues were discussed, Ryssdal says to NTB.
Former Conservative politician Kaci Kullmann Five is built on the same.
