The National Board of the Green Party (ODM) will decide this weekend whether to choose a side in national politics.
If the unanimous central board succeeds, MDG will try to get a collaboration with the Labor Party and SV.
In the 2021 elections, it is not relevant to go to the Conservative Party, the party leadership has made it clear.
Now they have the opposition of Rasmus Hansson, ready for the return.
– Neither Støre, Vedum nor Solberg should believe that they have the MDGs in their pockets before we negotiate the policy, he says in reference to the leaders of the Labor Party, the Socialist People’s Party and the Conservative Party.
– Climate is not the most important thing for the MDGs
– Must use force
He tells Dagbladet that he wants to defend the independence of the MDG bloc and believes that this does not go well enough in the statement of the central board that has headed the party leadership.
– The best position the MDGs can get into is a tipping position where we can give in and take power away from the government. It is absolutely crucial to be able to use the power it will give us to carry out the policy we stand for, says Hansson, pointing to a more ambitious policy for climate, nature and a sustainable working life policy.
– The other parties will only dry this if they are forced to. So we must not give up that power before sitting down at the negotiating table, says Hansson.
He believes that this is of vital importance to the party.
– The rationale behind the MDGs is that we are willing to empower climate and natural policy. We must not make the mistake that SV and Venstre routinely make by promising to leave before the election, says Hansson.
Electoral promise: Will reject school reform
Little debate
This week, Rasmus Hansson won the vote for second place on the Storting list for the Oslo MDGs against Hulda Holtvedt. Unlike Hansson, Holtvedt has been an advocate of collaboration with the left. It is more doubtful that he will succeed in the matter of strategy.
With the exception of the leader of the Hansson and Viken list, Kristoffer Robin Haug, there have been few protests against the party’s change in strategy.
Amendments
Now Oslo delegate Sigrid Z. Heiberg also announces that her county council has tabled an amendment to the national board.
– The Oslo MDGs support the choice of leadership and will overthrow the current government, which continues with a climate-hostile FRP policy. But we want to make it even clearer that neither party can take our support for granted. Not even the Labor Party and the Socialist People’s Party, which must prioritize the environment more than it has done so far, tells Dagbladet, continuing:
– We believe that it is natural that the MDGs first start talks with the Labor Party and the Socialist People’s Party, but it is the impact for people and the environment, for our politics, that is our priority. If the MDGs are to consider cooperating with other parties, they must step up. All other parties have so far failed in the face of the climate and nature crisis, he believes.
– Happy for the discussion
Hansson won’t reject the whole strategy either.
– When you read the decision and the reasoning of the whole central board, it is quite good. They emphasize that it is a matter of going to Støre first and not selling the soul half a year in advance. But I hope they clarify my point even more clearly and don’t let anyone believe for a moment that they have the MDGs in their pocket, he says.
MDG Deputy Leader Arild Hermstad makes it clear that he is happy with the discussion in the party.
– The Oslo amendment proposal clarifies our position as a rival for all other parties, and I think that is good, he says.
