Norwegian Foreign Minister Sacked Amid Cabinet Reshuffle

Norwegian Prime Minister Store has announced significant cabinet reshuffling this morning in the face of international crises, the primary concern for Oslo being the ongoing war in Ukraine. He told press "The country needs a foreign minister who can spend all (his or her) time on the job." He was most likely referring to the scandal erupting with now former Foreign Minister Huitfeldt who admitted to trading public stocks while in a powerful government role. This revelation has been considered a key aspect of the nation-wide elections five weeks ago in which the Conservatives, for the first time in 70 years, ended up with more votes..Huitfeldt was replaced by Espen Barth Eide, the Climate Minister who had previously served as foreign minister in 2012-2013. In addition to this change the Ministers of Fisheries, Local Government and Labour policy left the government, while two moved to new posts. A new position for Digitalisation and Public Administration was also created, expanding the cabinet from 18 to 20 members. The announcement also said that the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy will be called the Ministry of Energy beginning in 2024..The following table reflects the new Store Cabinet (wiki):.PositionMinisterTook officeLeft officePartyPrime MinisterJonas Gahr Støre14 October 2021IncumbentLabMinister of FinanceTrygve Slagsvold Vedum14 October 2021IncumbentCenMinister of Labour and Social InclusionHadia Tajik14 October 20214 March 2022LabMarte Mjøs Persen7 March 202216 October 2023LabTonje Brenna16 October 2023IncumbentLabMinister of Research and Higher EducationOla Borten Moe14 October 20214 August 2023CenSandra Borch4 August 2023IncumbentCenMinister of Fisheries and Ocean PolicyBjørnar Skjæran14 October 202116 October 2023LabCecilie Myrseth16 October 2023IncumbentLabMinister of International DevelopmentAnne Beathe Tvinnereim14 October 2021IncumbentCenMinister of Foreign AffairsAnniken Huitfeldt14 October 202116 October 2023LabEspen Barth Eide16 October 2023IncumbentLabMinister of DefenceOdd Roger Enoksen14 October 202112 April 2022CenBjørn Arild Gram12 April 2022IncumbentCenMinister of Climate and the EnvironmentEspen Barth Eide14 October 202116 October 2023LabAndreas Bjelland Eriksen16 October 2023IncumbentLabMinister of Children and FamiliesKjersti Toppe14 October 2021IncumbentCenMinister of Local Government and Regional DevelopmentBjørn Arild Gram14 October 202112 April 2022CenSigbjørn Gjelsvik12 April 202216 October 2023CenErling Sande16 October 2023IncumbentCenMinister of TransportJon-Ivar Nygård14 October 2021IncumbentLabMinister of Petroleum and EnergyMarte Mjøs Persen14 October 20217 March 2022LabTerje Aasland7 March 2022IncumbentLabMinister of Health and Care ServicesIngvild Kjerkol14 October 2021IncumbentLabMinister of Culture and EqualityAnette Trettebergstuen14 October 202128 June 2023LabLubna Jaffery28 June 2023IncumbentLabMinister of Trade and IndustryJan Christian Vestre14 October 2021IncumbentLabMinister of EducationTonje Brenna14 October 202116 October 2023LabKari Nessa Nordtun16 October 2023IncumbentLabMinister of Agriculture and FoodSandra Borch14 October 20214 August 2023CenGeir Pollestad4 August 2023IncumbentCenMinister of Justice and Public SecurityEmilie Enger Mehl14 October 2021IncumbentCenMinister of DigitalisationLinda Hofstad Helleland14 October 2021IncumbentCen
