Mosfellsbær Majority Parties Condemn Progress Party's Violent Campaign Video

The local branches of Viðreisn, Framsókn, and Samfylkingin in Mosfellsbær have issued a joint statement condemning a deeply disturbing campaign video released by the local Progress Party. This video, which has since been removed from TikTok, depicted a man being assaulted after casting his vote for the Progress Party. The majority parties rightly point out that such content is unacceptable in a democratic society. Normalizing violence or presenting it as a reaction to differing political views is not only irresponsible but dangerous. Mosfellsbær prides itself on fostering respect, responsibility, and dialogue, and this video directly undermines those values. It is particularly disheartening to see a political party seeking public trust resort to tactics that promote division and violence. Politics should be a space for exchanging ideas and respectful debate, not for threats or humiliation. We stand with the condemnation and urge all political actors to uphold the principles of democratic discourse.

Such a presentation has no place in democratic discourse. Making light of violence or presenting it as a normal reaction towards people who think differently, have different political views or outlook on life is both irresponsible and dangerous.
