PARLIAMENT (VG) Tomorrow is the day: When anything can be made for the Oslo Olympics in 2022 – or plans can be broken once and for all.
Wednesday, at 15, the 48 Members of Parliament from the Conservative Party, 10 Conservative ministers and one Prime Minister in the door to the main meeting room of the Parliamentary 4th floor.
When they come back, it is probably far on the way decided whether we get the third Olympic Winter Games on Norwegian soil.
The reason for the meeting is that Erna Solberg has asked his parliamentary group for advice on what she and the government should do with the Olympic application: wreck it or go in for a new Norwegian Olympic Games at taxpayers’ expense.
“Conditional Yes”
After that VG is lit meeting will start with the head of Parliament’s culture committee, Svein Harberg (H), recommend their party colleagues to say a “conditional yes” to the Olympics.

– I want the group to say a conditional yes. There are some things I think we need to be clear about and put your foot down. It applies the cost and our desire to make things easier and more efficient says Harberg.
Exactly what such a “conditional yes” means work for the time being unclear.
– I would be skeptical that we, for example, will say yes to that rate halved or that we should give the government carte blanche one. However, we must be able to put some assumptions for our “yes”, all Harberg will deepen to VG.
He is in close cooperation with the Minister of Culture and expressed yes Laborite Thorhild Widwey (H) written a note to persuade parliamentary group on Wednesday.
In Harberget introductory word will go anywhere in the room, and those who want it will have the opportunity to express their views – for or the Olympics in Oslo.
No vote now
It is not up to any vote on the matter. It confirms the Conservative parliamentary leader Trond helland.
– Erna has prompted a council, and she will get. If the group is found to be split right down the middle, and it is impossible to interpret what is being said around the table that clearly afford, we must consider a vote, but basically I do not think it is appropriate, says helland.
After the parliament members have their say, it is expected that Prime Minister Erna Solberg will summarize the discussion and reveal how she envisions the Olympic road ahead.
What prime minister even think about the Oslo Olympics in 2022 is for now a well-kept secret.
The mood and the advice from the group believed matter to weigh heavily when Solberg during October will decide if the government goes in for the Olympics and the accompanying government guarantee of up to 35 billion.
It will be so, a divided government that does.
FRP is known as a congress decision to Oslo Olympics that binds the party’s ministers and members of parliament on the hands and feet. If the government goes for the Olympics, it happens with dissent from the Progress seven ministers.
This means that the Conservatives are dependent on Labour to secure Olympic parliamentary majority.

Jonas waiting Erna
Erna Solberg’s challenge is that the Labor Party refuses to make up an opinion about the Olympics before the government (read: Right) have concluded.
VG know that there has been contact between the Conservatives Labor and management will about the Olympics, but this has not led to any agreement or representation between the two parties.
Erna Solberg personally have not called Jonas Gahr Støre, hoping to sign a pro-alliance.
– There has been no contact between the Minister and Erna Solberg at the Olympics, says Støre advisor Astrid Huitfeld VG.
Labor sources VG speak with say they believe the party will land on a even to the Olympics if the Right First do the same.
As Labor’s parliamentary believed to be at least as divided as the Conservatives, however, Jonas Gahr Støre have to swing the party whip in the autumn.
– That is as far right mathematical assessment that labor must stand behind for it to be realized. But I respond to all proposals that would indicate that the government must notify the clear card first. If there is to be an application from Norway, the government must keep proper records of its own policies, then the Parliament – consider that the government is going to have Støre previously told VG.
– Absolutely fine with Conditions
City council leader Stian Berger Røsland (H) in Oslo says he eagerly await the outcome of the party cast the decisive meeting on Wednesday.
– This is a kind of final stage for our part, in a way. Now it goes much time answering parliamentary representatives who are wondering various things about the Olympics. They ask a lot different and then we can help by giving them the facts and answers. It is clear that it is approaching the point at which a decision shall be taken, says Røsland, who is also head of the search committee in Oslo.
He reveals to VG that he has no illusions that the parliamentary group or government will provide a unreservedly clear signal to the application as it stands as of now.
– We are aware that the parliamentary group will get to ask a number of requirements and conditions to be positive to government guarantees, and that’s okay, says Røsland .

Controversial Congress
If it ultimately proves to be a majority in Parliament to seek OL state guarantee adopted by the end of the year.
If it actually happens believed Norway to be the big favorite in the competition with China’s capital Beijing and the capital of Kazakstan Almaty.
Several politicians VG talking to think we know that the central leadership of the IOC more than anything else wants Olympics just to Norway.
IOC Congress gather to choose the organizing country next summer, however several of the delegates with voting rights come from nations that have never seen snow. The outcome is therefore far from a foregone conclusion.
