On Sunday at 11 o’clock, the Conservative Party (H) and the Liberal Party (V) will meet for negotiations on a new city council in Oslo. – Today we will talk about how we can ensure that Oslo is a safe city in the future as well. How are we to deal with increasing violence among children and young people, says Høyre’s Eirik Lae Solberg. The plan is for the parties to agree on a political platform. But they won’t finish on Sunday. The talks will continue on Monday, and then the topic will be school, warns Lae Solberg. Rejects new car policy If the Conservatives and Liberals join the city council together, they will not have a majority. They will therefore need support from the Progressive Party (Frp) and the Christian People’s Party (KrF). A challenge for Solberg is that V and Frp are far apart. Especially in matters of climate, environment and what place the car should have in Oslo. The FRP has been particularly concerned that many of the measures introduced by the previous city council must be repealed, and that the car must be given more space again in Oslo. On Sunday, it does not appear that the Conservative Party is particularly interested in facilitating more car use in the capital: – We are keen to facilitate pedestrians and cyclists in the future as well. This is not a big topic of contention between us, says Lae Solberg. But he rejects that they should pursue MDG policy. – No, we will carry out the Conservative and Liberal policy for cyclists and pedestrians. I am sure that we will find good solutions. Høyre’s Eirik Lae Solberg hopes to get Frp and KrF to cooperate. Photo: Rolf Petter Olaisen Needs Frp and KrF Høyre has invited Frp and KrF to enter into a cooperation agreement. Solberg’s hope is to negotiate such an agreement at the same time that the Conservatives and Liberals agree. – The voters have voted for a change in Oslo by giving the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, the Progressive Party and the Christian People’s Party a majority in the city council. It is the majority that makes it possible to give Oslo a new political direction, Solberg said on Friday. Ever since before the election, the Liberals have been fighting to get a city council with the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party and the Green Party (MDG). Without Frp. While the Conservative Party has rejected that they will cooperate with the MDGs. Will not be a support party Last week the FRP said that they do not want to be a pure support party. – Basically, we will not be a support party for the city council. This means that you get a minority city council that does not have support from the FRP, county leader Andreas Meeg-Bentzen told news. The party’s county board has previously decided that they will not support a city council they do not sit on. It is unclear when the Conservatives and Liberals will talk to the parties about a cooperation agreement.
