## Controversy

After the 2011 Norway attacks, he tweeted "The Norwegian victims are entirely on the conscience of multiculturalists - their islamization policy led to someone simply going crazy". The same day Iesalnieks issued a statement where he denied justifying the actions of Anders Breivik, but later announced he would be stepping down as the party's board member and not running for the 2011 Latvian parliamentary election.
