Love of Iranian Girlfriend Costs Norwegian Minister from Anti-immigration Party His Job
Independent Aggregator of Iran-related News/Events, Kodoom.com: Norway’s rightwing fisheries minister from the conservative anti-immigration Progress party has resigned following a summer holiday travel to Iran with an Iranian-born former beauty queen Bahareh Letnes (formerly Heidari in Persian) without informing the prime minister’s office in advance. Sandberg admitted taking his work phone with him. Norway’s intelligence agency regularly lists Iran as one of the countries most likely to carry out espionage, alongside China and Russia.
Letnes’s asylum request was rejected three times in Norway and she was expelled, but she eventually obtained a residency permit on the grounds that she risked being subjected to a forced marriage in Iran. meanwhile, The Progress party favours a strict immigration policy, calling for asylum seekers whose applications are rejected to be expelled swiftly.
Frustrated with media frenzy which he calls "unethical," Sandberg, 58, has defended his 28-year-old girlfriend and even joked about working with her "Iranian spy" girlfriend now that he is unemployed!
Separately, Bahareh has denied any political affiliations with the Iranian government but confirmed her strong relationships with the former Minister and her ambitions in doing business and cultural work in Iran. She is also worried about her safety and the level of anti-Iranian hateful propaganda in Norwegian media.
