Norwegian news server Aftenposten reports that Erik Lunde, a city councilor in Oslo who is a member of the Christian People's Party (KrF), recently gave a speech about the idea of creating a memorial to Romani victims of the Holocaust in Norway.
His fellow councilors, including Mayor Marianne Borgen, unanimously agreed to submit a proposal to the Government for the creation of such a memorial.
Lunde has been a member of the council since 2011. His speech was considered very important and was well-received.
The mayor told him: "I want to thank you for emphasizing human dignity, in many cases." His fellow city councilors also called him a very good politician who defends the interests of the people and emphasizes making politics more accessible to them in support of the right interests.
The speech on 5 September was about the idea of building a memorial to the Romani victims of the Holocaust. More than 100 Norwegian Roma were murdered during the Second World War.
