CofCC.org News Team
Norwegian Progress Party poised to take largest share of Norwegian seats in June EU elections.
The Labor Party Prime Minister of Norway just reversed course and called for a crackdown on asylum seekers. Norway’s Labor party is a member of the EU Socialist group of parties.
The reason for this switch is do to the rise of the Norwegian Freedom party. Currently the Progress Party controls 22% of the Norwegian parliament. The second largest share after the Socialist party.
New polls show that support for the Progress Party is now at 32%.
The Socialist Labor party is also facing a backlash for championing radical Islam. The party unsuccessfully tried pushing through legislation to outlaw criticism of Islam and allow immigrant policewomen to wear Islamic dress while on duty.
