The Labor Party wins the second period in the Norway elections, while the populist right achieves gains

The government of the Labor Party in Norway won power on Monday, while Al -Shaabawi’s right has ever achieved its result, in elections dominated by concerns about the high costs of living and wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

The work of the current Prime Minister, Jonas Jahr Storer, and four smaller parties from the left, won 87 seats, above 85 seats required for the majority, with 99 percent of the polling cards were calculated.

Stäre, 65, will remain highly dependent on his young allies, however, to issue major legislation such as financial budgets. To obtain their support, it is possible that it will face difficult discussions on issues such as tax increases in exploring wealthy oil and exploration in the future, and abstract Israeli companies through the American wealth fund in Norway of $ 2 trillion.

“Store will continue as prime minister, but with a more difficult parliamentary situation, he depends on five parties in government,” said Jonas Stein, associate professor of political science at the University of Tromsu.

Despite the victory of the left, on Monday a shift showed a shift between conservative voters, with the Popular Progressive Anti -Immigration Party in Selfie Leso, 47 years old, making it the best appearing in the elections.

The progress has received 48 seats in the 169 -seat parliament, that is, more than twice its allocation for four years, as it seemed that the party’s promise to major tax discounts had resonated with many voters.

Listhaug, which Ronald Reagan and Margaret Tischer, as role models, cited a campaign that said public spending wasted on areas such as international aid and green energy subsidies.

Youth vote “more right”?

“Young people today are much more more than they were before. I think the progress party has won a large part of the youth’s vote, especially among young people.

None of the right -wing parties that won seats, including the governor of former Prime Minister Erna Solburg, sought to support US President Donald Trump, unlike some of their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.

ST bot welcomed the results, and plays any transformation to the right. “This is a sign that outside Norway, which social democracy can win despite the right -wing wave,” he told the newspaper, another four years.

Voters’ concerns about the conflict in Ukraine and Russia, the aggressive, which shares the border with Norway in the Arctic, have given the left in recent months after the former Secretary -General of NATO Jeans Stoltenberg, 66, Join Store.

Many Norwegians saw that the decision is a protection in the event of a new armed conflict, given the ten-year-long-year-old-October-president-head of the Western Military Alliance.

About 59 percent of Norwegians believe that a new war in Europe is likely to be over the next decade, an increase of 55 percent last year, according to a survey conducted by the Oslo Peace Research Institute.

The war in Gaza also affected the elections

It was also waving on the horizon in the last weeks of the elections, the war was in Gaza, where the younger Allies called for the sovereignty fund in Norway, the largest and main source of the country’s wealth, to strip it from Israeli companies.

Since June 30, the Fund has disposed of more than twenty Israeli companies, following the media reports that designed a stake in the Jet engine that provides maintenance of Israeli fighting aircraft.

Some parties questioned the left whether the country is secret in violations of international law by investing in active companies in the occupied Palestinian territories. Israel denies violating international rules.

As at risk in the elections is the future path of the oil industry in Norway, which replaced Gazprom as the best gas supplier in Europe after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

The role of Norway is scheduled to grow more, as the European Union plans to gradually get rid of the use of Russian gas by 2027, but some of the beginners’ Stäre allies want to gradually get rid of oil exploration, which may limit the new gas fields.
