More about Norway

Politics

According to the constitution of May 17, 1814 (since then several times and in some cases fundamentally changed) Norway is a constitutional monarchy, hereditary in the primogeneity system (since 1990 also in female succession). The head of state, commander-in-chief of the armed forces and formally owner of the executive is the king, but since 1991 Harald V. the executive power has been exercised de facto by the council of state (government) chaired by the prime minister. The cabinet is appointed by the monarch and is dependent on the confidence of parliament.

Solberg of the Conservative Party (Høyre) has been Prime Minister since 2013. She was confirmed in office in the 2017 elections and governs with a coalition that includes the right-wing populist Progress Party and the Liberal Party as well as the right-wing populist Progress Party and the Christian Democrats since the beginning of 2019.

The legislature lies with the unicameral parliament (Storting), whose 169 members are elected for four years by proportional representation. The active and passive voting age is 18 years. An early dissolution of parliament is not possible. In 1963, based on the Swedish model, the institution of an ombudsman (appointed by Storting for four years) was created, whose task it is to represent the rights of citizens against public authority.

National symbols

The national flag originated from the Danebrog and was established by law of December 10, 1898. In the red cloth lies a blue Nordic cross fringed with white. The color scheme is intended to be reminiscent of the colors of the French Revolution and symbolizes freedom.

The coat of arms was created in 1280 from the standard of King Håkon V. Magnusson. In the red shield it shows a golden, crowned lion striding upright heraldically to the right. In his paws he holds the golden-handled silver ax of St. Olaf. The Norwegian royal crown rests on the shield.

National holiday is May 17th. It commemorates the constitution of 1814 and the election of Christian Friedrich as King of Norway.

Parties

The most influential parties include the Det norske Arbeiderparti (DnA, German Workers’ Party; founded 1887), the Høyre (H, German Conservative Party; founded 1884), the right-wing populist Fremskrittspartiet (FP, German Progressive Party; founded 1973), the Sosialistisk Venstreparti (SV, German Socialist Left Party; created in 1975 from a merger of various left-wing parties), the Kristelig Folkeparti (KrF, German Christian People’s Party; founded in 1933), the Senterpartiet (SP, German Center Party; founded in 1920 as the Farmer’s Party, renamed in 1959) and the Venstre (German Liberal Party).

Unions

Trade unions are very important in Norway; over half of the workers are unionized. The national trade union federation (LO; founded in 1899), which is traditionally oriented towards social democracy, brings together more than 20 trade unions (around 880,000 members in total). In addition, the politically independent associations of the employee unions (YS; founded 1977) and the academics and skilled workers (»Unio«; founded 2001) play a role.

Military

The total strength of the conscription army (service period 12 months) is around 24,000 men. In the event of a defense, in addition to the mandatory reserves, the approximately 45,000 Home Guard volunteers can be used. The army (8,000 soldiers) has an independent mechanized infantry brigade, a “ranger battalion”, a battalion-strength border guard and cadre personnel for a motorized division to be deployed in the event of a defense; in the command area »Southern Norway« over two infantry battalions (one of them the Royal Guard) as well as cadre personnel for the formation of a tank and mechanized infantry brigade. The Air Force and the Navy, like the Army, are divided into the command areas “North” and “South” – have 3,500 and 2,500 soldiers respectively.

Law

The court system is structured in three stages. The district courts (Tingsretter) are the first instance. The first instance of appeal is the 6 appellate courts (Lagmannsretter), the last instance is the Supreme Court (Høyesterett). For civil disputes (with the exception of family matters) it may be mandatory to first call the local arbitration board (Forliksråd) before going to court. Settlements concluded before the arbitration board and their decisions can be enforced, as can court decisions. There are also special dishes such as B. the labor court (Arbeidsrett) for collective labor disputes and the court for land and land issues (Jordskifterett). There is no constitutional court and no separate administrative jurisdiction.

The Norwegian legal system, which belongs to the western Nordic legal system, is characterized by a large number of individual laws. T., like the purchase or contract law, go back to internordic initiatives. Equality between men and women has been achieved in all areas of law; The “registered partnership” has been open to same-sex couples as a marriage equivalent since 1993.
