Liberals maintain that they want to include the MDG in the blue-green Oslo city council – news Oslo og Viken – Local news, TV and radio

The voters’ verdict is clear. There will be a change of power in the capital. The bourgeois parties Høyre, Venstre, Fremskrittspartiet and Kristelig Folkeparti have a majority in Oslo city council. Leader of the Oslo Liberal Party, Grunde Almeland, tells news that he and the Liberal Party will meet Eirik Lae Solberg and the Conservative Party for the first talks on Tuesday. Wants the MDG on its side But the fact that the voters have spoken and ensured a bourgeois majority does not mean that the Liberal Party wants a city council made up of only bourgeois parties. – The Liberals want what we have wanted all along. It is a city council collaboration with the Conservative Party, and so we have wanted the MDG over to our side. – Can you sit on the city council with the Frp? Now we go into these conversations with one clear plan. It is to ensure that we get a change in Oslo, and that we get to sit on the city council together with the Conservative Party and preferably the FRP. Almeland says that his hope is that MDG also sees that there are many good solutions in the liberal centre. news has asked MDG to comment on Grunde Almeland’s new invitation, but has not received a reply. Eirik Lae Solberg flatly rejects a city council collaboration with MDG. – We are aware that it has been the Liberal Party’s wish, but for the Conservative Party it is out of the question. The distance between the Conservative Party and the MDGs is too great, says Solberg. Impact most important Also the Progress Party’s front man Magnus Birkelund confirms that he will speak to Eirik Lae Solberg on Tuesday afternoon. – Now the voters have given notice that they want a change in Oslo. NOT AN ULTIMATE: Oslo Progress Party’s Magnus Birkelund. Photo: Rolf Petter Olaisen – For the Progress Party, it is important to get approval for our political issues, be it cuts in property tax, rehabilitation of roads or strengthening care for the elderly, he says. that political impact is the most important thing. – How we are going to get it and in what form we are going to cooperate in the coming years, we almost have to come back to, says Birkelund. Regarding the Liberal Party’s flirtation with the Green Party, Birkelund says that the important thing for the Frp is to keep the MDG away from influence.
