Scandal in Norway. Foreigners should Twitter #NAVSkandalen

5 years ago
There is a huge scandal in Norway at the moment where people have been wrongly convicted of (and imprisoned for) "benefit fraud"

This is due to Norway's consistent failure, since at least 1994, to adhere to the EEA Agreement which governs the rights EEA nationals can expect to be upheld as they move and work freely around the EEA

It's probably the best illustration of the culmination of fears raised in comments made here over the years.

Also google "Norway""ECtHR" and "Stig Arne Jonsson""EFTA"

The laws that safeguard your interests as a foreigner in Norway cannot be enforced there.
