Progress Party pushes for emergency parliamentary session to slash fuel taxes

Following the burial of King Harald, the Progress Party sent a letter to the heads of Høyre, the Centre Party and the Christian Democratic Party seeking backing for a special Storting session. The aim is to approve a temporary cut to fuel taxes that would remain in force through the new year. The request comes after the parties agreed to a political truce during the king's funeral, and after Høyre leader Ine Eriksen Søreide declined further tax reductions.
