Listhaug reacts to Thunberg coming back to Norway “time and time again”.

I mean that she should be deported, she says in Bergens Tidende's podcast.

Thunberg and about 200 activists from Extinction Rebellion are blocking roads to the oil refinery Mongstad near Bergen in a pre-announced demonstration, which is to continue throughout the night. Greta Thunberg has however left the site and is to return on Tuesday morning, writes NTB.

”We are here because there is no future in oil. Fossil fuels lead to death and destruction”, says Greta Thunberg according to a press release.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre says to Bergensavisen that Norway has freedom of speech and demonstration, but is critical of the activists hindering people from getting to work.

It breaks the rules of the game. It is people who go to work and they should not have to experience insecurity with that, he says to the newspaper.

Equinor Mongstad is the largest refinery in Norway with a production that largely consists of petrol, diesel and aviation fuel.
