Prime Minister Erna Solberg (H) will sum up the political autumn, in the “different year 2020”.
It does so from the representative government residence in Parkveien in Oslo.
The year has been about the corona pandemic, as has the press conference. Topical is the question of when the corona vaccine can arrive in Norway.
– The approved vaccine may be useful before the turn of the year. The team is leaving the country. It is not unlikely that the first vaccinations could take place over the Christmas or New Year weekend in Norway, says Erna Solberg at the press conference.
– Reliefs of January
Also, remember that it will take time before everyone who needs it can access the vaccine and the corona crisis is over.
When asked what the summer will be like and if the festival-Norway can plan the festival, Solberg responds:
– I still think there will be many infection control measures until Easter. How time passes will be about our access to the vaccine. But if we manage not to make Christmas a new wave of contagion, which we fear, we may be able to ease some measures in January and beyond.
Well prepared for Brexit
– The crisis is not the first we have been in, but it is much more extensive than any other crisis we have had in recent times, says Solberg.
She says it has naturally taken a long time, but she also boasts of a better response time in the police force and having reached the goal of two police officers for every 1,000 residents.
In addition, he says that greenhouse gas emissions have also decreased this year.
– Emissions in Norway are now the lowest in 27 years.
Erna Solberg also spends time talking about the UK’s imminent departure from the EU. There is still no agreement with the EU.
– We are well prepared, also for an alternative where there will be Brexit without an agreement. But we cannot protect Norwegian companies from what is happening on the British side. We are concerned if it will be more difficult with customs clearance. There can be bottlenecks and long lines at the UK border during the New Year, he says.
– Must answer
Erna Solberg and the Conservatives have seen a spike in opinion polls and popularity polls during the pandemic, which may indicate that people generally support the government’s handling of the crisis.
However, Aftenposten’s revelations about the gambling behind the decision to grant quarantine exemptions to foreign workers have received much criticism.
– The government must answer for this. The question that arises is whether companies have perished as a result of tougher measures this fall, following the import infection that hit Norway this summer, Labor leader Jonas Gahr Støre tells Dagbladet.
In its assessment of the government, Dagbladet’s management department, with the associated roll of the dice, finished with a slightly higher average than usual in recent years: a blank four.
