At the request of the parties in working life, the government has set up a committee to look at challenges to the traditional Norwegian wage structure. – The goal is to maintain the good cooperation we have in Norway today, explained Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum (Sp). Behind the appointment are the after-effects of the corona pandemic and geopolitical tensions that may weaken support for the front-line model. But before the work has started, there is a dispute about who is represented in the selection. The background is that 15 out of 16 committee members are from the Oslo region and “have their daily work there”. The last member is from Trondheim. “A more superb documentation of Oslo-centrism is difficult to come up with”, write Nordlys in the lead. With reference to the Center Party’s slogan to “use the whole country”, they characterize the composition as “embarrassing” for the finance minister. “It may seem that Vedum, after ten and a half years in the ministry, has landed on the fact that the vast majority of intelligent life in Norway is concentrated in a few postal addresses in Oslo West and in B\u00e6rum”, ironizes the newspaper. – Vedum must get out of the Oslo bubble! says the parliamentary representative from Sogn og Fjordane, Alfred Bj\u00f8rlo (V). Photo: Annika Byrde \/ NTB \u2013 Vedum must get out of the Oslo bubble! – Oslo-centrism is a real phenomenon. You almost have to live and work in Oslo not to see that, says Harald Birkevold, who is political editor at Stavanger Aftenblad. He says it “seems weak and unmusical” to put together such a selection without ensuring a better geographical spread. – The industry in Western Norway includes most of the Norwegian oil and gas industry, most of the aquaculture and a large part of the power-intensive industry. I would like to believe that there is expertise here that such a selection would benefit from, he says. In a written question to Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum (Sp), parliamentary representative from Sogn og Fjordane, Alfred Bj\u00f8rlo (V), asks what the composition of the selection comes from. He outlines three possible explanations, and makes it clear that none of them are good: Is it because the minister has not looked for expertise in wage formation outside of Oslo? That he has searched but not found it? Or that the geographical composition of the selection is considered unimportant? – Vedum must get out of the Oslo bubble! says Bj\u00f8rlo to news. He points out that wage formation is “too important to be decided by a small clique of people who hang out in the same environment in the capital”. – Here it is more important to bring in perspective and knowledge from the whole country. news has been in contact with the Ministry of Finance, which will not comment on the matter before question time in the Storting on Wednesday. – We have to answer the Storting before we can answer the press in this case, says Cecilie Skjennald, who is a senior adviser in the communications unit. Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum (Sp) will not comment on the matter before question time in the Storting on Wednesday. Photo: Henning R\u00f8nhovde \/ news \u2013 Center-periphery is important for understanding Norwegian politics Territorial tensions and the question of representation are as old as the Norwegian constitution, and have been identified as the most central line of conflict in Norwegian politics. – Center-periphery is a constant axis in the history of modern Norway, and important for understanding Norwegian politics, says Snorre Valen, who is editor of Tr\u00f8nderdebatt. He adds: – Then it becomes all the more understandable that the finance minister himself does not pick the lowest hanging fruit, and ensures representation from more than Oslo and B\u00e6rum when something as central as wage formation has to be sorted out. In 2019, Erna Solberg sent out a “Christmas letter” in which she, as prime minister, advocated better district representation in various committees. – What kind of residence and what kind of environment one travels in affects the perspective and the amount of knowledge, also for subject experts, she wrote. Photo: H\u00e5vard Nyhus In the article Landskapet under isbreen, Samtiden writer Edvard Lysne describes the political culture on the west Norwegian coast as characterized by “a self-preservation-based business spirit and a strong skepticism towards central power and civil service”. Last Saturday, former H\u00f8gre cabinet minister Torbj\u00f8rn R\u00f8e Isaksen played on the contradictions between the different parts of the country, and introduced the Greenlandic term pair “innaforr” and “nerrafor” to a larger audience. – “Inside” is not only about a concrete, political system that lies some distance away, but about a more fluid elite that has both political, economic and – perhaps most importantly – cultural power. This elite sets the conditions for the big, national conversation, he writes. “A more superb documentation of Oslo-centrism is difficult to come up with”, write Nordlys in the lead. Photo: H\u00e5kon Mosvold Larsen \/ NTB scanpix \u2013 Vedum has been blindfolded Political editor in Nordlys, Skjalg Fjellheim, calls the salary committee a “recipe for Oslo-centrism in concentrated form”. – This joins the series of public elections with heavier and heavier Oslo dominance. – The special thing about this selection is that it is the Center Party’s own finance minister who has been blindfolded. – The industry in Western Norway includes most of the Norwegian oil and gas industry. I would like to believe that there is expertise here that such a selection would benefit from, says Harald Birkevold, who is political editor at Stavanger Aftenblad. Photo: Eni Norway
