Erna Solberg supports more interventions in kind to ensure more wind energy (Aftenposten)
As prime minister, Erna Solberg (H) turned around when protests against wind turbines in the Norwegian wild got too big. You now believe that shareholders have been given too much power.
Now the leader of the Conservative Party has no doubts: Norway must accept large interventions in kind to obtain more wind energy.
– We must realize that green change will require a little more intervention in nature. This is especially true for energy-intensive projects, Solberg tells Aftenposten.
It refers, among other things, to a case in Salten, Nordland, where the dream of a green steel mill disappeared in a local dispute over the wind turbines on the mountain needed to provide electricity for the steel mill. Wind turbines have met with great opposition and local politicians have finally put their feet up.
– Here I think local politicians have been under extremely pressure from activists. This makes him somewhat paralyzed in action in Norway right now. Solberg believes shareholders have a form of debate that makes people impatient. The seas (+)
Vedum doesn’t have time to be a farmer this year – he had to ask his neighbor for help (NTB)
Historically, Norwegian farmers deliver a lot of grain to the mills, but for the first time, nothing comes from Trygve Slagsvold Vedum. The finance minister’s job has become too demanding.
– It is the first time in my life that I have not been and I have delivered the grain to the recipient. I’ve been doing this since I was four, Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum (Sp) tells NTB.
For several years, Vedum combined his work as a politician with that of a farmer, even when he was Minister of Agriculture in 2012-2013.
It is true that the leader of SP has rented out most of his land in recent years, but he has always been the one to take care of some productions. This year it hasn’t worked anymore.
– I realized in mid-February that the time for sowing wheat this year was over. With the prelude to the war in Ukraine, it just didn’t work out, Vedum says. The seas

Australia’s prime minister rejects questions about becoming a republic (NTB)
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says it is not the time to hold a referendum on whether to become a republic and break with the British royal house.

Instead, says Albanese, he is focused on a referendum planned to give the indigenous people of the country the right to be consulted on matters that concern them, a so-called “voice in parliament” agreement (voice in parliament, ed).
– I want Australians to focus on “voice in parliament,” he replied to ABC when asked why the country will not consider the future of the monarchy during his tenure as prime minister. The seas
