    FOR (translated to Peace and Justice) Report Vandalism on the Subway to Police

    A controversial advertising campaign by the political party Fred og Rettferdighet (FOR) which calls for an end to Norway’s financial support for Ukraine’s defense efforts. The campaign, launched on May 18, 2025, includes 8,600 posters displayed across all subway lines in Oslo and is set to run for a week.

    On the evening of the campaign’s launch, several posters were removed from one of the subway lines. A video obtained by VG shows an unidentified man calmly walking through a train on Line 3 (Mortensrud) and taking down the posters. FOR’s leader, Marielle Leraand, stated that the party does not have the resources to monitor the subways but considers the incident a significant act of vandalism that should be investigated by the police.

    The financing of the campaign has also come under scrutiny. While the standard price for such an advertising package is approximately 1.45 million NOK, JCDecaux, the advertising company, confirmed that FOR received a discount. However, only 50,000 NOK in support has been registered for the party on the official party financing website. The Party Law Committee is now investigating whether FOR has reported all contributions related to the campaign, including any discounts received.

    The campaign has faced criticism from political figures. Oslo’s City Council Leader, Eirik Lae Solberg (H), described the campaign as “ugly” and particularly regrettable for being visible on the subway during Norway’s National Day. Finance Councilor Hallstein Bjercke (Venstre) condemned the party and its message as “garbage,” stating that the message is dangerous and reminiscent of similar narratives propagated by Russian-funded nationalists and extremists across Europe in recent years.
