TRONDHEIM (AP) When KrF negotiated in Nydalen will open on Sundays shops hardly have been an issue. Eighteen months later it is one of the party’s most important struggles.
– This is not a negotiation issues for KrF. We must put a stop to government proposal Sunday opening stores and we have the vast majority of the Norwegian people with us! thundered 1st deputy chairman of the Christian Democratic Party, Dagrun Eriksen, in his speech to the party’s national convention Friday.
Faced VG Eriksen says that “the government has an extremely bad case” and that she is absolutely convinced that the three other cooperating parties going to drop a proposal to remove the general prohibition against Sunday shopping.
A symbol
She believes KrF have people on their side and the best arguments when the party now Toner fight against the proposal as one of the very important issues.
– This is because it is a symbol of an incredible number of things for KrF. Firstly, it is about the intangible. Not true, it is something other than shopping, wealth and standard of living that is important. Having a day together that provide resting heart .. It’s something the whole community our rhythm. Also, it’s about how you look at volunteering, how things happen outside the regular pattern. For us it is also a very misunderstood individualism when they say “you can just take the day off Wednesday instead.” When you do not get community tank. Then you just individual holiday, and we do not need, says Eriksen, and takes a deep breath before she adds:
– We need a place where we can meet across. Also we need to have a Sunday where one can have tournaments, where parents can set up voluntarily, flea markets on Saturday and Sunday. Thus, it is so extremely much that will be affected by this.
But despite that case according to Eriksen is “extremely bad” and so important for KrF to fight was not resistance like vehement when the party negotiated with Left, Right and FRP.

Hardly a topic
VG has spoken to several sources who have insight into what happened behind closed doors at the Radisson hotel in Nydalen.
The sources said that KrF by only one occasion raised the issue Sunday open shops . According to a source shall KrF leader Knut Arild Hareide as having said that the four parties had to discuss the matter if all four would go into government.
Beyond that it shall now very important matter not have been taken up again by Christian Democrat dealers.
– It is clear that this was a case we were prepared for that KrF wanted negotiations. It was surprising how easily the matter floated past, says one of the sources.
Taus negotiation pushed
KrF deputy Eriksen, who today was re-elected in the party leadership, confirms that the party took the matter up, but will not say anything about how hard the party fought ..
– But KrF took the matter up during negotiations?
– We knew that the three parties want to offer more sun trade. We raised the issue into the deals, but it was not possible to reach an agreement.
– You will not tell if you fought for the cause?
– As said we raised the matter in deals, but we did not the other parties involved in it.
– It may be hard for some to understand why KrF not fought this case in Nydalen?
– I mean, we have fought for this matter. I think no one can be in doubt.
– In Nydalen?
– I do not comment on what we did or did not do in the 11 days in Nydalen. So I am completely convinced that the other three parties understand how bad this thing is.
– Then it should not be that hard to get it through in the negotiations?
– It is up to the Conservatives, the Progress Party and the Liberals.
Does not exclude civil chaos
Ahead of this weekend’s national congress said Hareide told DN that he was prepared “to take all policy instruments in use” to stop the case.
Eriksen will not say one word about what the consequences will be if the majority Conservative Party, Progress Party and the Liberals adopt Sunday opening stores such party programs and government platform promises .
– I do not believe that all issues will be about threats about what happens in the end. Sometimes it’s about having a real political fight about the content.
– But you have an agreement, and thus will not you create a government crisis, right?
– I will not comment on it.
– But cooperation will apply anyway?
– So … It applies as long as nothing else is said . We will do what we can to get the government to realize that the matter is bad.
PS! Dagrun Eriksen is acting party leader because Knut Arild Hareide is expecting over the weekend with his wife Lisa Maria.
