Kjell Bondevik

Kjell Bondevik (11 March 1901 – 21 December 1983) was a Norwegian politician for the Christian Democratic Party.

[1] During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, he was arrested in March 1942 for boycotting the Nazi creation, the Teachers Union, together with a large number of other teachers, including Gustav Natvig-Pedersen.

From August to September 1963 he served as the Minister of Social Affairs during the short-lived centre-right cabinet Lyng.

[1] When the cabinet Borten fell over a controversy related to the forthcoming EEC referendum, Bondevik was put in charge of tailoring a renewed centre-right coalition.

In this context Bondevik described himself as djupt såra og vonbråten, "deeply hurt with broken hopes".
