Norway's Centre Party plans to exit the government over EU energy policy disputes with Labour, potentially leading to a minority government.
OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's eurosceptic Centre Party will resign from the government on Thursday due to a disagreement with coalition partner Labour over the adoption of EU energy policies, public broadcaster NRK and daily VG reported, citing anonymous sources.
The Centre Party, in government since 2021, holds eight seats in Norway's 20-person cabinet, including the finance minister, the defence minister and the minister of justice and public security, while Labour has the remaining 12 posts.
If Centre's exit is confirmed, Labour could now rule alone in a minority government until elections in September. Labour has said Norway must maintain good relations with the EU given the threat of a trade war between Europe and the United States.
