AUF delegates reaffirm opposition to Norwegian EU membership at national congress

The AUF national congress concluded with a clear majority maintaining the youth wing's traditional 'no' position on Norwegian EU accession. Prior to the meeting, five central board members put forward a motion to adopt a positive view of EU membership, provided Norway kept sovereignty over its monetary system, central banking, energy policy and fisheries resources. The motion was unable to persuade the broader delegate body and was dismissed without a formal tally.

Press liaison Oda Medhus told reporters that the dissenting members could not sway the congress, and the organization reaffirmed its existing stance. The decision aligns with AUF’s historical role in opposing EU membership in past referendums.
