Norway, 10 April: Norwegian police on Friday fined Prime Minister Erna Solberg for breaking COVID-19 social distancing rules when she gathered with family members to celebrate her own birthday.
She was fined 20,000 Norwegian crowns ($2,352), “Though the law is the same for all, all are not equal in front of the law,” said Police Chief, justifying the fine.
“It is therefore correct to issue a fine in order to uphold the general public’s trust in the rules on social restrictions,” he further said. Earlier, Erna Solberg, a two-term prime minister apologised last month for organising an event for her 60th birthday with 13 family members at a mountain resort in late February, despite a government ban on gatherings of more than 10 people.
