Norway's prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, is facing a major challenge as his government has been reduced to a minority after a coalition partner withdrew due to disagreements over EU market rules. The outgoing partner claims these rules make it impossible to protect citizens from soaring electricity prices, sparking a crisis in the government. With energy prices remaining a key concern for Norwegians, the stability of the government hangs in the balance. The situation highlights the impact of EU energy policy on local economies and the need for effective energy management strategies. Key issues include energy market regulation and price control measures.
