Dagbladet experiences that Labor leader Jonas Gahr Støre will go against a decriminalization of the purchase, possession, and use of small amounts of drugs.
Støre goes to the podium at the Labor Party’s national meeting just before 11 o’clock today, and this is where Støre comes with this verdict, according to what Dagbladet understands.
There is a heated debate about the drug reform in the party and the editorial committee has not yet concluded on whether a compromise is possible, according to Dagbladet’s information.
Støre reverse: Can start again
Split party
Dagbladet can also experience that the editorial committee of the party, led by Anniken Huitfeldt, has not found an agreement.
There is dissent in the question of decriminalization, according to what Dagbladet’s sources say.
The editorial committee is still sitting and working, shortly before Støre’s speech. As Dagbladet revealed already on Monday, the editorial committee will not reach a compromise that includes general decriminalization.
No drug agreement in the Labor Party
Prestige reform is falling
Decriminalization is the core of the government’s prestigious reform of the drug reform, without this the reform will be dead, both Minister of Health Bent Høie (H) and Liberal Party leader Guri Melby have been clear.
According to what Dagbladet understands, Støre wants to start work on the drug reform “again” after the election. It will try to get impunity for the heavy drug addicts, but not for young people and recreational users.
