The Labor Party, the Center Party and SV have called their parliamentary groups to a meeting at 4.30pm this afternoon. A possible agreement will be discussed in the three parties’ parliamentary groups, before there is scheduled to be a press conference in Vandrehallen at the Storting at 6 p.m. The three parties have been in intense negotiations for the past few days, hoping to reach an agreement on next year’s national budget before Thursday’s budget debate . The three parties have agreed on a package to help people with increased living costs, according to what news understands. Even before the budget negotiations, SV agreed with the governing parties to increase the housing allowance sharply in the first months of 2023 by over NOK 800 million. But money for the measure was supposed to come into place in the negotiations. The headlines for SV during the negotiations have been fair distribution and climate and environment. In addition, more money for aid is said to have been a difficult topic in the talks. Last year, SV was able to move NOK six billion. Then the Støre government had presented its own priorities as a so-called additional number, after the Solberg government had presented its budget.
