The country's government accused the city council of exceeding its powers.
The authorities of the Norwegian city of Drammen decided that in the future it will only accept refugees from Ukraine. In turn, the government of the country accused the city council of exceeding its powers.
This was reported by the publication DW.< /p>
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has already stated that this decision exceeds the powers of local authorities.
“It's not something cities can decide,” he said.
In addition, the prime minister stated that such a decision is “illegal.”
“It is a fundamental value to ensure that people who become refugees are treated equally,” Gar explained to Stere.
Also, the decision of the Drammen city authorities was criticized by the leader of the Conservative Party, member of parliament Erna Solberg. She stated that no municipality can decide to “accept refugees only from the country.”
In turn, the city police registered a statement in which the city authorities are accused of “institutional racism.”
Recall that it was previously reported that another country will extend temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees.
In addition, we previously informed that Germany predicted how many refugees would leave Ukraine in the event of a Russian victory.
