– A good adult known politician, with your story, who allow themselves to be photographed with young girls late into the night at a club in this way. You can understand that it’s unfortunate?
I understand in each case that it has been used for all it is worth. It was certainly not a good idea to say yes to the pictures, or to maybe be there at all. It, I understand. But it can not be so that if someone requests to be taken picture of with you, and you say yes and nothing happens that is ugreit, so it should be a great national issue. It is not a story at all, ” says Giske to rikskringkasteren, adding that he did not see any connection with the video and earlier varslingssaker against him.
