Draft

It was intended as a humorous element and an attempt to describe the reality we are in. It is a little bugger to the journalists who constantly ask that question, says Breivik to the NTB.

– We are not concerned of whether anyone must go, it is the journalists who are there. Our goal is to get a budget that contributes to the emissions to be cut, that the poor children be lifted and that stimulates innovation and research, argues Skei Grande.
