Jan Olsen was elected mayor of Nordkapp municipality in 2019.
The period does not expire until the autumn of 2023, but already now he has applied to resign as mayor and be relieved of his elected office.
– Over time, I have had a harmful work situation, the mayor writes in a public post on Facebook.
It was the Sami newspaper Ságat who first reported the news on Wednesday. Olsen explains to the newspaper that there has been a political conflict.
Towards the holiday tranquility: – Terribly old-fashioned
– Difficult in the long run
Dagbladet has been in contact with Olsen, who has approved that Dagbladet quotes the Facebook post.
In the post, the SV politician shares the entire application for the exemption, which he asks to be considered at the next municipal board meeting on 28 June.

He writes that the application is sent with feelings of loss, grief and despair.
For a long time it was okay to pretend like nothing, persevere and think that it must calm down soon. In the long run, it is difficult to defend oneself against repeated inaccuracies, untruths and suspicions, as well as to handle provocations, Olsen writes.

– Can not be combined
He believes that the election result of him as mayor has not been accepted, and that it has made it a challenge to chair meetings.
– I would more than like to complete the period as mayor of the North Cape, but I can not ruin the health of it. For my own part, but also for the family and the others who love me and care about me, it is important that I get well again. The road there can not be combined with the position of mayor or other elected positions in the North Cape, Olsen writes in conclusion.
