Carl I. Hagen (2009)

Carl Ivar Hagen (born May 6, 1944 in Oslo ) is a Norwegian politician of the Progressive Party (FrP).

Life

He was from 1974 to 1977 and again from 1981 to 2009 member of the Norwegian Parliament - the Storting . From 2005 to 2009 he was also its vice-president. In addition to his work as a member of the Norwegian Parliament, he was a member of Oslo City Council for a total of eleven years between 1979 and 1999.

From 1978 to 2006 he was chairman of the FrP. In this position he shaped his party for a long time and was one of the most influential politicians in Norway at the time. In 1986 he was instrumental in the overthrow of the bourgeois minority government of Kåre Willoch , although his party was only represented by two members in parliament at that time. After Willoch's resignation, a left-wing government was formed under Gro Harlem Brundtland .

After he did not run again in the parliamentary elections in 2009, he initially largely withdrew from politics. In 2010, however, he announced that he would run as a candidate for mayor in the 2011 elections in Oslo. Due to the poor poll results, however, he withdrew his candidacy three days before the election in order to prevent another loss of vote. Hagen finally moved in as a simple member of the city council.

Political positions

Carl I. Hagen's political views are generally classified as liberal and conservative to right-wing populist .

In the course of his career, Hagen was often critical of Muslims and Islam, for which he was often criticized. In 2004, for example, he claimed that, unlike Jesus, Mohammed was not interested in children and if he was, then only in order to be able to use them for the Islamization of the world.

In 2016, he declared his support for the controversial US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump .
