Update on communalism in Oslo

Sveinung Legard (1978–) lives in Oslo, Norway. He was one of the founders of Democratic Alternative (Demalt), and has been editor of its Norwegian journal, Direkte Demokrati. He is now involved in an electoral campaign for the municipal elections in september.



Legard:

Because of certain "disagreements" with city-hall, Demokratisk Alternativ for Oslo had to collect more signature than necessary to participate in the elections. In March-May we collected close to 1000 signatures, and spread our message face-to-face to more than double that amount of people.

The people of Demalt in Oslo organize open meetings, participate in some debates and hand out leaflets/programs at events on squares and in the streets of Oslo. This is the first electoral campaign of Demokratisk Alternativ in Scandinavia.
