On Sunday night, Hadia Tajik made it clear that she is resigning as deputy leader of the Labor Party. Already on Wednesday, she resigned as Minister of Labor and Social Inclusion.
Now Dagbladet can experience who will be her successor in the ministerial chair:
It is Minister of Petroleum and Energy Marte Mjøs Persen who will be the new Minister of Labor and Inclusion after Hadia Tajik.
In recent weeks, a number of revelations have shown how Tajik received commuter housing, and that she has owned apartments at the same time as she has received free housing from the community.
–
This week, Dagbladet wrote that Tajik owned two apartments she rented out with good income while she enjoyed free commuter housing. When she sold one, she got a profit of almost 200,000 kroner
On Sunday night, Tajik made it known in a letter to the central board of the Labor Party that she is also resigning as deputy leader of the party.
Mjøs Persen was a new face for many when she was appointed Minister of Petroleum and Energy in the Støre government in October. The mother of three came from her job as mayor of her hometown of Bergen.
Persen has had a tough start as a new minister with galloping electricity prices and hard pressure to do more to prevent inflation. Power support and foreign cables became inflamed issues.
“Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre made a mistake in the appointment of Minister of Petroleum and Energy. Now it’s time to turn around “, wrote Stavanger Aftenblad in the lead.
– If the question is whether there have been any difficult days, then yes, says a candid Persen to Dagbladet.
Persen was also accused of not appearing in the Storting’s oral question time. In February, she presented Norway’s largest investment in offshore wind, when she and her colleagues announced that they were developing Utsira and the southern North Sea I.
