Received advice to cancel meeting with Hoksrud: Suspects that they wanted to hide the train-smash

The article discusses concerns raised by Bård Hoksrud, leader of the FrP's transport and communications committee, regarding delays in train services on the Vestfold Line. He attempted to arrange a meeting with Norske Tog but was advised by the Ministry of Transport to delay it until after the revised national budget was published. Hoksrud criticizes the ministry's response as misleading, suggesting they knew about the issues beforehand but withheld information until the news broke. The ministry defends its actions, stating that meetings with parties must be coordinated with them and that the delay was due to the timing of the budget process.

Bias read (Left): The article frames the issue as a failure of coordination between the ministry and the opposition, implying that the ministry intentionally delayed transparency. It emphasizes Hoksrud’s frustration and suggests the ministry acted to suppress information, which aligns with a left-leaning perspective.
