(Local) A senior politician for Norway’s far-right Progress Party has called for a total moratorium on new refugees in Oslo, as her party mulls what price it will demand for staying part of Norway’s coalition government.
Tone Ims Larssen told [the] Norwegian state broadcaster that party leader Siv Jensen should not satisfy herself with minor concessions when she holds a crisis meeting with Prime Minister Erna Solberg on Monday.
“This case is much [too] serious to be discussing other issues like lowering taxes or road tolls,” she said. “Zero settlement of refugees in Oslo.”
The Progress Party has been threatening to bring down Norway’s government since it on Tuesday announced that it would bring home a Norwegian woman who had joined Islamic State group in Syria, together with her two young children.
