August1991 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) This video is remarkable: France Antenne 2 It is the news report of a French TV crew who spent time with several Norwegian cabinet ministers, and a French representative to a Norwegian government organization. The Norwegian MFA flies commercial and boards the plane like ordinary people. He is allowed 120 euros for a hotel room. The Minister of Justice has a simple office and leaves work early to pick up his kids at day care. As the French woman explains, this (Lutheran) simplicity is a guard rail against abuse and means that politicians keep their credibility with the public.
