Justice Minister Grete Faremo (AP) reacted strongly to the news that the four non-socialist parties considering introducing an amnesty for asylum children.
Faremo believes such amnesty will help to undermine the institution of asylum.
- They discuss ie discrimination of a group that has chosen not to abide by the Norwegian government's decision. I would warn against both short-term thinking and the conflicting signals from this network Faremo says to NRK.
2,000 people
670 children have stayed in Norwegian reception for over three years. If you include parents, siblings, and families outside reception constituted group up to 2000 people in the end of August.
Everyone has received a final rejection of their asylum applications.
- The group while remaining children with their families have been in Norway because they have refused to deal with the Norwegian authorities denied residence, said Faremo.
- Correct the amnesty before a more humane asylum policy

Right, the Progress Party, the Liberal Party and the Christian Democratic Party, which shall continue sounding government today might introduce an amnesty for asylum children who have been in Norway.
- The important thing for us going forward is that we avoid this kind of situations, but to address the situation of those who are in right now, we believe it is appropriate to introduce an amnesty before we go over to a new and more humane regime in asylum policy, says Kathy Melby, central board member of the Liberal Party.
While Faremo believes such amnesty can help to undermine the institution of asylum, believes Melby on the contrary, the coalition government policies that have made it.
- I think that it undermines the institution of asylum, is to pursue policies that are inhumane. Asylum policy should be fair, but it should also be humane, said Melby.
