Norway's Progress Party criticised for misleading road project claims

A debate piece defended Norway's Progress Party (FrP) against accusations that the party supports Russian propaganda, noting its long‑standing opposition to authoritarian regimes, backing of NATO, and advocacy for increased defence spending since 2014.

Another commentary rejected statements by a Progress Party member claiming the Møreaksen highway project has siphoned planning funds from regional transport development in Møre og Romsdal. It clarified that planning budgets are allocated to specific projects, not counties, and that the party itself has historically promoted the Møreaksen and related infrastructure such as the Stad ship tunnel. The article highlighted that the allegation ignores the party's own role in the project's funding and planning.
