The Green Party in Oslo switches sides

This is confirmed by the party’s first candidate for Oslo city council, Sirin Stav, after a representative board meeting in Oslo MDG on Thursday evening. – There is support for us to start talks with the Liberal and Conservative parties where we examine the possibilities for a collaboration. I think we owe it to the voters to keep the FRP away from power in Oslo, says Stav. – Then it is up to the Conservative Party if they want a green policy for the city, says Stav. On the other hand, the Conservative Party’s city council leader candidate Eirik Lae Solberg is adamant that cooperation with MDG is out of the question. – We promised that a bourgeois majority would give a bourgeois city council. We therefore want to talk to the three parties about the formation of a new city council, writes Solberg in an SMS to news. He politely declines the offer of talks.

The Oslo election gave a bourgeois majority in the city council with the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, the Progressive Party and KrF. Nevertheless, Venstre maintains that they want a blue-green city council. They have wanted to lure MDG over to their side and keep the Progress Party out of power. – I have not given up the dream of a blue-green city council in Oslo, says Venstre’s Hallstein Bjercke.
