Dear reader; the fish farming industry is protesting the ground rent tax and Arne O. Holm does not want to be counted as part of the uproar. Armies are training in the North, while the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs talks about low tension. And several municipalities are advocating for the preservation of the friendship with the Russian people.

While the fish farming industry is loudly protesting the ground rent tax, High North News’ Editor-in-Chief Arne O. Holm does not want said industry to tamper with his coastal identity:

“The salmon farming industry should, by all means, fight to keep most of its gigantic profits. But a line is crossed, when they tamper with my identity. I am part of the people from the coast, but I neither rebel nor walk in torchlight processions against increased taxes for parts of the industry”, writes Holm.
