The right-wing government in Norway, which was threatening to collapse during the week because of disagreements on the budget for 2017, was rescued at the last moment today after the agreement which was negotiated by politicians, broadcast local media.
The public broadcaster NRK network, the Aftenposten newspaper and tabloid VG cite sources close to the government saying that the crisis ended.
Minority in parliament, the government of Prime Minister 'Erna Solberg had a deadline of December 5 to reach an agreement with its allies, the centrists, the Christian Democrats and / or liberals, in order to secure a majority ready to adopt the budget of the 2017. Although not concluded an agreement by Monday, the government should resign.
Negotiations had hardly begun. The Liberal Party and the Christian Democrats considered unacceptable the government's proposals (conservative and populist right) for taxation and insufficient for environmental policy. After weeks of hard consultations eventually the two parties will support the ruling coalition, said today the chief negotiator Hans-Olaf Siversen Christian Democratic Party.
The consensus reached today, according to Norwegian media reports, after the addition of six billion crowns (€ 670 million) for measures on climate and the environment, family policy, education and research, and rail transport. The government and the parties that support it will present the details of these measures at a press conference in Oslo later today.
