Norway's Progress Party decided to withdraw from the government following a controversial decision to repatriate a woman with ties to Islamic State. The woman, who had traveled to Syria in previous years to join the terrorist group, was to be brought back to Norway with her two children. The Progress Party strongly opposed this move, citing security concerns and the potential risks posed by allowing individuals with extremist backgrounds to return to the country.
The decision to repatriate the woman sparked outrage among the Norwegian population, with many expressing fear and apprehension about the potential threat she and her children could pose to national security. The government faced criticism for prioritizing the repatriation of a citizen with terrorist connections over the safety and security of the country.
The withdrawal of the Progress Party from the government coalition led to a reshuffling of the political landscape in Norway. The move significantly weakened the ruling coalition, forcing the remaining parties to reassess their positions and strategies moving forward.
