Korona, Erna Solberg | Strong warning to Erna: – If you do this, there will be war

Red leader Bjørnar Moxnes comes with a clear message to the Prime Minister the day before the revised national budget is presented.

On Tuesday, the government will present a revised national budget. So far, the overview has shown that the government has spent NOK 229 billion on crisis measures in connection with the corona pandemic.

But before the presentation on Tuesday, Rødt comes with a clear warning:

– If the government, in its proposal for a revised budget, tries to abolish the schemes for the unemployed one second before 2021 is over, then it is a declaration of war against workers who are affected by the crisis. Then there will be war, says Moxnes to Nettavisen.

The Corona Commission recently presented the report for the investigation of the government’s corona handling.

They concluded that everyone in society has been affected by the pandemic, but that it has affected skewed. Children and young people, the elderly and the sick and living alone have been particularly affected.

Approximately 200,000 Norwegians have become completely or partially unemployed. One of the major conflicts between the government and the opposition has been the tug-of-war over unemployment benefits when employees are laid off.

The government has argued that it is not good to have unemployed people walking for a long time as laid-off workers, and wanted to set limits on how long people can be laid off with unemployment benefits.

– At the same time, many billionaires have become richer through the crisis. The community’s money flows out to shipowners who do not pay taxes, real estate sharks who leave apartments empty and hotel barons who in good times give the hotel employees zero and nothing and local wage settlements, says Moxnes.

The Red leader has low expectations of the government, but promises a fierce battle if it does not turn out the way they want. Previously, the party has been thrown into the hallway by the other parties, meant to end up forcing the government to join a number of measures for the unemployed, laid off and others.

– The corona crisis has also shown us that the schemes for the unemployed were too bad from before. Therefore, we fought for an increased unemployment benefit level and that the income requirement was lowered, so that many with low wages, small positions or part-time work could receive unemployment benefits. The government has so far been pressured to extend until September, he says and adds:

– Now is the time to fight unemployment, not the unemployed.
