  • Norway’s Green Party is considering resolving its contested Oslo nomination process behind closed doors.
  • The dispute comes during a temporary political truce agreed by parliamentary parties after King Harald’s death, lasting until his funeral on Sept. 9.
  • The truce suspends political statements, opinion pieces, debates and other communications deemed nonessential.

The Green Party’s nomination process in Oslo has become so turbulent that the contest for the top positions could be settled behind closed doors, with the party seeking as little public attention as possible.

The dispute is unfolding during a temporary political truce agreed by the parties represented in Norway’s parliament after the death of King Harald. The arrangement is due to remain in place until his funeral on Sept. 9.

Under the truce, political statements, newspaper opinion pieces, participation in debates and other political communication deemed “strictly necessary” have been put on hold. The restrictions add a sensitive public backdrop to the Green Party’s internal nomination fight.
