Once again i am reminded of something that a swedish minister once said; " Norway is the last Soviet state". I lost my father to cancer about 2 weeks ago, but before he passed away we applied for a turist visa for a family member from Peru, so she could say her last goodbye. Today, after his passing she was told that "Norway did not want her" and as such she can not even come to pay her respect at my fathers grave.
The reason? "
Where our and the local Schengen Cooperation's experience with
specific groups and nationalities indicates that many fail to leave
NonA/ay or the Schengen área upon expiration of their visas, it has
become our practice to issue a visa oniy in exceptional cases.
Probability of return is assessed individually, and importance is
attached to both the emigration potential in the applicant's country of
origin and to the individual factors regarding the applicant."
I feel ashamed that my passport says i am norwegian, This is only the last of many cases were norwegian authorities overlook the human aspect and just treats people with racial motives. It is time for you Mr Stoltenberg to take your coat and live politics behind. Stop treating people like dirt, and make us proud of our country again.
