The leader of Norway's Conservative party has announced she is forming a rightwing minority government, the first to include the anti-immigration Progress party.

Erna Solberg, whose Conservatives finished second in this month's parliamentary election, will team up with the Progress party, which came third.

The two-party coalition is expected to introduce stricter immigration policies. Many Norwegians have called for a reduction in immigration, and the Progress party has capitalised on that feeling.

Solberg praised her party's co-operation with Progress but left the door open for the two smaller centre-right parties – the Christian Democrats and Liberals – to join the coalition, saying she was eager to work with them, too.

can see how well things are working here when you put conservatives in charge of something.

3. As a Norwegian... AND a multuculturalist...

I am ashamed of some of my countrymen...

They think that their bigotry is something to be proud of.

They think that parroting American RW policies is the right way to go...

And yet they still blame immigrants for both economical collapses as well as extremism. They also like to blame us leftwingers for their own racism...

Right now I'm recovering from an attack by some Golden Dawn members in Greece.

Like said, I'm a multiculturalist whom thrives more in foreign cultures than my own.


And here in Greece where I live at the moment, is the result of RW politics and cheap rhetoric with a bundle of corruption...

Europe is becoming increasingly a strange place to live.

4. Exactly.

Immigrants have added so much to the Norwegian society.

5. "I'm a multiculturalist ..." Nice post, Bohemianwriter. The RW loves to blame immigrants -

apparently the ultimate "THEM" when you live in an "us vs them" world. Good luck on your recovery.

6. And some people call Norway THE RAPE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD...... Hogwash.

Oslo: A Rape Capital? Myths, Facts and Fictions

Assault rape cases have dominated the Norwegian news to an extent we have never seen before. According to the news, Oslo has turned into a capital of fear, and politicians demanded action from the police and judicial authorities. Is this massive media discussion creating biased and unnecessary fear and shadowing the reality of sexual assault?


Assault rape and murder cases have characterized the Norwegian news in the fall, to an extent we never seen before. Oslo even has had a new designation: Rape capital. The statistics, however, show that the number of rapes per capita was lower in Oslo than in Stockholm and Copenhagen.


Marianne Saetre and Veslemøy Grytdal from the strategic analysis group in the Oslo Police Department emphasized that the numbers and factual analysis reveal a different picture, and they ask reporters and editors not to sensationalize the news.

“The media's close interest in assault rape cases has adverse consequences. I understand that sensationalized journalism is appealing. Whenever we present a report, there comes a wave of rape reports in the media. This does not necessarily mean that the number of rapes committed increases, says Saetre to Journalisten.”
