In the Middle of an Avalanche Area, the Prime Minister Must Answer Questions About Deceased Artist Prime Minister Erna Solbeg visited Longyearbyen earlier this week, and the PM herself had requested a visit to the housing area where an avalanche had killed two people in December 2015. Standing at the scene, she had to answer questions about recently deceased Norwegian artist Jahn Teigen and Fisheries Minister Geir Inge Sivertsen. I am ashamed on behalf of journalism.
