NRK experiences that the government parties and the FrP agreed to keep the quota of 3,000 refugees next year.

On Tuesday, the Progress Party called its organs to a digital meeting to take a position on what is on the table. TV 2 also announced the deal to cut rates earlier on Tuesday.

Measures to limit cross-border trade

Above all, the FRP receives a large tax reduction on goods that are particularly exposed to cross-border trade, such as tobacco, soft drinks and chocolate.

KrF leader Kjell Ingolf Ropstad is said to have agreed to a “significant reduction” of the alcohol tax on beer and wine.

KrF called a special group meeting to consider the proposed budget deal tonight. Also in the Liberal Party, there was a group meeting on Tuesday afternoon.

FRP leader Siv Jensen has also demanded 1 billion from retirees in negotiations, to ensure greater purchasing power for this group next year.

Before the negotiations, the FRP demanded cuts in the development assistance budget and in the number of refugees Norway will receive next year. During the talks, Jensen has repeatedly emphasized that the party wants restrictions on asylum and immigration policy.

Negotiations are overtime

On November 9, negotiations on Norway’s budget began next year. They were stomping around for a long time. FRP leader Siv Jensen announced progress in negotiations on Sunday.

The recommendation in the Storting finance committee was submitted without a majority on Friday, so the negotiations are overtime. The financial debate at the Storting will take place next Thursday.

Crisis packages agreed in advance

Despite the agreement on a crisis package for the business community in mid-November, negotiations between the government parties KrF, Høyre og Venstre and the parliamentary party Frp have been slow.

The FRP and the government parties Høyre, Venstre and KrF have already agreed on a crisis package of NOK 22.1 billion for coronary companies and municipalities.

Additionally, Frp is now poised to make a solid impact on its demand for more money for asphalt and landslide protection. Norwegian construction companies note that the amount of new asphalt has decreased dramatically in 2020 and request the Storting to insure 1 billion asphalt in 2021 to prevent the negative trend from continuing.
