– Now the Labor Party, the Center Party and the Socialist People’s Party must come together. Not just from case to case in the Storting, but in the government, said Følsvik, who on Monday gave the opening speech at the LO congress. Følsvik referred to Russia’s war against Ukraine, the energy crisis and the food crisis as justifications. In the polls at Hurdalsjøen Hotell after the election, SV finally withdrew from the process. Thus, the Labor Party and the Socialist People’s Party formed a minority government instead, with SV as their preferred partner in the Storting. “More than ever, Norway needs a majority government that can take responsibility,” she said. – Not imminent The reception is still lukewarm with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Labor Party), who sat in the hall during the LO leader’s speech. But he points out that he has always wanted SV in government. – This is not closely understood. I am concerned that we should work well together on the basis we have, and we do. Then we get to take it as it comes, says Støre to NTB. Blanke ark SV’s acting leader Kirsti Bergstø is for her part more open to conversations. But not at any cost. – If it is to be relevant, we must be able to sit down at the same table with blank sheets. When we met after the election on Hurdalsjøen, we experienced that we were met with a number of conditions that would have pulled the country in the wrong direction, says Bergstø to NTB.
