  "account": "Norgesgruppen, a major Norwegian grocery chain, has hired Henrik Pettersen Sunde from the conservative party Høyre as their new communications director. Sunde, who has been Høyre's deputy leader Ola Svenneby's closest adviser over the past year, will join Kiwi-owner Norgesgruppen in February. He stated that he feels positive about the move, as Norgesgruppen is currently ranked at the top of the market. Sunde, a former Høyre spokesman on retail policy, said that he is accustomed to working closely with colleagues in Høyre and that leaving the party would be sad. He also noted that Høyre has been increasingly aggressive in its political positioning in recent years. Sunde expressed his enthusiasm for joining Norgesgruppen and contributing to their important work, which he believes is often underappreciated. He highlighted that the company employs 53,000 people and provides food supply throughout the country.",
