Left -wing clints in Norway win when the populist right stands second

The Labor Party of Norway at Jonas Gach Stere won a second term in the general election before the populist right party, which doubled its voice.

In a country used for minority governments, Labor has a chance to form a narrow majority with two seats in the 169-seat sum if it provides the support of four smaller parties at the center to the left.

Four million voters in Norway came out in large numbers, and an turnout of 78.9% was the biggest in years.

The Sylvi Lishaug anti-immigration party has achieved the greatest profits, providing almost 24% of the vote and 48 seats.

Jonas Gar, 65, told Jubilant’s supporters that, although the right-wing forces are increasing in Europe, Social Democrats parties can still win elections.

With most votes counted, Laburi won 28.2% of the votes and 53 seats, improving their election in 2021.

Initially, the campaign was dominated by foreign policy, including the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, but the occurrence of the vote focuses on increasing costs of life, the oil industry and the reform of a wealth tax that saw that hundreds of Norwegians were leaving the country for Switzerland.

Despite its small population of 5.6 million, Norway hits its weight on the international scene. A member of NATO founder, he shares an Arctic border with Russia and is part of the EU Single Market, but not a Member State.

Laburi’s support was buried earlier this year, when former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, a popular figure Norway, joined the government as a finance minister.

The 47 -year -old Sylvie Liszhaug congratulated the Labor leader for his party’s victory, but told the supporters that Norway had “four difficult years ahead” on the left.

Her progress party has no hope of forming a coalition, as parties on the right fell into three places that are less than the 85s needed for the majority.

The Conservatives lost a position by 14.6% and their leader, former Prime Minister Erna Solberg, said he was unlikely to stand up again.

The coalition construction will probably take several weeks, and if the work manages to form a majority, it will have to overcome the disagreement of policy with less parties for the future of the oil industry and investments from the huge sovereign wealth of Norway.
