 HARRISONtalk: No Nobel for Halverson
The Left Wing Coalition government’s Finance Minister Kristin Halvorsen’s recent assertions of support for her own party’s policy of adopting a trade embargo with Israel were no exception then, but they do raise questions as to the recently elected Norwegian government’s sophistication when it comes to international political affairs.
Halvorsen, as leader of the largest party on the far left, the Sosialistisk Venstreparti (SV), cut a deal with the leader of the slightly more centre of left Arbeiderpartiet (Worker’s Party) as finance minister by forming a crucial part of the coalition to bag last year’s top spot for government.
Halvorsen also seriously misses the point in thinking an embargo will achieve any political outcome other than even more tension on the Gaza strip, for a quick consultation at any grade-school history book will tell her that embargos almost never achieve peace in themselves.
