Budget comments from the opposition

- The Government has not made use of the possibilities, says Progress Party leader Siv Jensen. - The red/green coalition is just taking a break, says Tore Sanner deputy head of the Conservative Party.

Jensen says the Government ought to have used the unique opportunity Norway now has. - We are the only European nation with a surplus. Norway ought to invest in the future, through increased growth and infrastructure, she says.

Sanner is of the same opinion: - This is a budget which does not form a basis for future growth. The red/green coalition does not give priority to knowledge, research and infrastructure, he says.
