Norway's Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum has announced his resignation, along with his eurosceptic Centre Party, due to a dispute with the Labour party over adopting European Union energy policies. This move marks a significant shift in Norway's government, as the Centre Party has been a key coalition partner. The decision is likely to have implications for Norway's energy sector and its relationship with the EU, with potential effects on renewable energy and sustainable development. Key issues such as energy policy and EU cooperation will likely be re-evaluated. The eurosceptic stance of the Centre Party has been a point of contention, leading to this sudden resignation.
