Vice partiledare lämnar efter trakasserianklagelser
Norska Arbeiderpartiets vice partiledare Trond Giske lämnar sitt jobb efter att ha anklagats för sexuella trakasserier av flera kvinnor. Giske skriver på sin Facebooksida att han fattat beslutet i samråd med sin familj. Partiledaren Jonas Gahr Støre säger dock till VG att han har bett Giske att hoppa av.
Giske anklagas för ovälkomna sexuella närmanden mot unga kvinnor, däribland partikamrater. Han har bett om ursäkt för vissa saker som ”lett till obehag” men menar att vissa av vittnesmålen inte stämmer.
