Busted! Norway’s Prime Ministe

Busted! Norway’s Prime Minister caught playing Pokémon Go in parliament

This isn’t the first time a member of the Norwegian Government has been caught playing the popular mobile game, then again… when you’re running one of the world’s most successful economies there’s plenty of spare time to go around.

Busted! Norway’s Prime Ministe

Caught in the act!

You heard that right. Even Prime Ministers are addicted to playing Pokémon Go like normal folks.

Norway’s Prime Minister, Erna Solberg was recently caught playing Pokémon Go during a debate in Storting – Norway’s Parliament.

During a visit to Slovakia, she also said that she’s keen to hatch a 10km egg. As it turns out, Solberg isn’t the only one from the Norwegian Government who likes to play this game when they shouldn’t.

Leader of Norway’s Liberal party, Trine Skei Grande was also seen playing Pokémon Go during a meeting on national security back in August. While Grande spoke in parliament, Solberg was catching ’em all. Grande seemed amused when she heard the news and Tweeted:

Translation: “She heard what I said, we ladies can do two things at the same time you know.”

Solberg reportedly also commented on the situation, saying: “I think that Trine will like that I opened the game while she was at the pulpit.”

Who would’ve thought!
