Norwegian politician caught playing 'Pokemon Go' during Parliament hearing

 

OSLO, Norway, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- The leader of Norway's Liberal Party is facing criticism from colleagues after she was seen playing Pokemon Go during a Parliamentary hearing.

 

Trine Skei Grande, a member of Parliament and the leader of Venstre, the Liberal Party, was seen Wednesday openly playing the augmented reality game during a defense and foreign affairs committee hearing about proposed military base shut-downs in the country.

 

"It is pure and simple disrespectful to sit and play Pokemon during such a serious hearing," Halvar Ronneberg, group leader for the Progress Party in Andoy, told state broadcaster NRK.

 

They must have been discussing building a fence along the border with Russia.

Well, what else has he got to do ...
