The Solberg government has formed the government of the Kingdom of Norway since October 16, 2013 and is led by Prime Minister Erna Solberg ( Høyre , Conservative). It emerged from the general election in Norway in 2013 . At first it was a minority government of the conservative Høyre and the right-wing Fremskrittspartiet (FrP), later the socially liberal Venstre and the Christian-democratic Kristelig Folkeparti (KrF) also joined. On January 20, 2020, the leader of the FrP, Siv Jensen , announced that her party would leave the government. On January 24, 2020, the new government was presented without FrP ministers.
history
The Solberg government emerged from the 2013 general election in Norway . The bourgeois-conservative bloc gained a majority in parliament, the Storting . Erna Solberg formed a minority government with her party, the conservative Høyre, and the FrP. The Conservatives initially occupied eleven ministerial posts, the FrP seven. Half of the government team was female. The coalition relied on the support of either the KrF or the Venstre party until the 2017 election .
On December 16, 2015, the cabinet was reorganized. Four new ministers were admitted to the government and three were dismissed from office; the FrP thus gained a ministerial post. At the same time, some responsibilities were reallocated. Immigration and integration were upgraded to a separate department. On October 20, 2017, Børge Brende left the cabinet table and became President of the World Economic Forum in Geneva. Solberg made a minor castling.
Entry of the Venstre party
In the parliamentary elections in September 2017, the bourgeois parties lost seats in parliament. They continued to receive the majority of the mandates, but now both Venstre and the KrF must approve in order to be able to pass a law. The Venstre party began under the chairman Trine Skei Grande to conduct coalition negotiations with the previous government. Your party joined the new minority government on January 17, 2018, with three parties now involved and received three ministerial posts.
Entry of the Kristelig Folkeparti
Since the members of the KrF did not agree on whether they should continue to support the bourgeois minority government, their then party chairman Knut Arild Hareide called an internal party vote in which the future course should be clarified. He himself spoke out in favor of a government under the social democrat Jonas Gahr Støre . In November 2018, however, the members of the party congress voted against this change of course and instead for joining the Solberg government. Accordingly, the KrF joined the government in January 2019 after coalition negotiations under the leadership of its new chairman Kjell Ingolf Ropstad . This government now had the majority in Storting and was no longer dependent on the support of other parties.
Exit of the Fremskrittspartiet
After an internal dispute about government work in the FrP in January 2020, Siv Jensen , the chairwoman of the FrP, announced on January 20, 2020 that she would leave the government. Jensen said her party would continue to support Erna Solberg as prime minister. The cause of the internal party dispute between the FrP was that the government decided to bring a Norwegian- Pakistani woman close to the so-called Islamic State (IS) and her two children, one of whom was sick, from Syria to Norway. This step was particularly criticized by the FrP base. The remaining governing parties agreed to form a new government team by the end of the month. For the period up to the formation of the new government, the responsibility of the FP ministers was limited to administrative tasks.
The new cabinet was finally presented on January 24, 2020. The conservative Høyre received twelve ministers, KrF and Venstre four each. In addition to the FrP ministers, Climate and Environment Minister Ola Elvestuen (Venstre) and Labor and Social Affairs Minister Anniken Hauglie (Høyre), who was criticized for the NAV scandal, were replaced.
Two ministerial posts were filled on March 13, 2020. The office of Minister of Fisheries became vacant after Geir Inge Sivertsen announced his resignation. He was previously criticized for having received double wages through transitional payments. The Venstre politician Trine Skei Grande had also resigned from her ministerial post. At the same time, she announced that she would not run again for party chairmanship after there had been long internal disputes.
In a vote on May 26, 2020, a coalition of the former ruling party FrP with the left-wing opposition parties Arbeiderpartiet (Ap) and Sosialistisk Venstreparti (SV) as well as some other MPs voted for the liberalization of the Biotechnology Act, which among other things legalized egg donation for single women includes. The government was thus outvoted on one point, which was seen as a defeat, especially for the Christian Democratic force.
