– There has never been a greater need to help ordinary people in Norway who are unable to pay their bills. Then it is, to put it mildly, shocking that aid became the biggest battle issue and the biggest winner of the negotiations, Listhaug says. Listhaug believes that the government and SV totally lack contact with what ordinary people are concerned about now. – What people need now are reduced prices by reduced taxes, no more for aid, salmon and bogs. Frp therefore proposes to remove the fuel taxes and the electricity tax, as well as halve the food VAT. The Labor Party, the Socialist People’s Party and the Socialist People’s Party have reached an agreement on the national budget.

It is simply incomprehensible, Listhaug said to news’s Politisk kvarter. – Lack of crisis understanding Rødt’s deputy leader Marie Sneve Martinussen believes the revised national budget indicates that SV has not got what they wanted. – There is a complete lack of crisis understanding. We have the biggest price crisis since I was born, and yet there are only crumbs and maybe just dust for measures that can help people with high bills. – But social assistance is price-adjusted and more people receive housing assistance. Is not that good enough? It’s very nice, but this is for very, very few people. Because at the same time as social assistance is adjusted, so does the child benefit. So all families with children get worse advice when the child benefit becomes less valuable each month. The same with the students, the pensioners and the disabled, who get nothing. Rødt would like to see the entire development assistance budget returned, and believes that the oil money could cover it without it leading to inflation in Norway. – The government’s argument that the use of money in other countries increases the pressure on the Norwegian economy, we do not buy it, says Martinussen. The opposition is not entirely happy with the budget the government and SV presented.

Therefore, our main priority is to reduce the use of oil money by 5.4 billion. We must alleviate the pressure in the economy and do what we can to reduce the pressure on prices and interest rates that people, families and companies experience, says Bru. Kjell Ingolf Ropstad (KrF) says he is happy SV received priority assistance. – But at the same time, it is a brutal cut of 1.1 billion kroner to the world’s poorest, and it upsets me.
