In its alternative budget presented Monday, Sp will spend NOK 935 million to reduce the diesel tax by 35 øre and on gasoline by 15 øre per. liters compared to the government budget. Thus, Sp spends the car part Frp, which has programmed lower fuel taxes.
The Solberg government, where Frp, is proposing unchanged fuel taxes next October.
– Are you a diesel populist, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum?
– No, it's a line we've had for several years. The reason Sp has the fee profile we have is that the current fees are socially wrong. The reduction of 35 ounces of diesel tax and 15 ounces of gasoline has a marginal impact on the climate, but it's the distribution effect that matters, he says.
– Real real policy for many Norwegians
"But the reduction of diesel and gasoline loads is an important political symbol.You now place with Frp to reduce the cost of using the car?
"It's not just a symbol, but a real important policy for many Norwegians – I mean the left and the government have forgotten that Norway is more than big cities. It is not possible to change bus, tram or metro.We argue that the Norwegian car park should be free of fossils by 2030. We believe that our climate plan has many attractive resources as a CO₂ fund for businesses. The CO₂ bond in the forest is another measure.
Break a principle?
"But reducing taxes on diesel and gasoline does not contravene the principle that polluters must pay?
"We need a tax policy adapted to our country.
– This is not what I asked.
"But we have a high fuel level in Norway, and what we're doing here is keeping the level of costs under the red-green government.
– Is not it a culprit?
– No, there were big discussions when we were in government on the level of taxes. In the government, we have ensured that there are no big tax increases, but only price adjustments, "said Slagsvold Vedum.
AP: an incorrect political hold
Sp's desire to reduce diesel and gasoline loads was not found at KrF. Such a proposal does not appear in their alternative budget. The former teammate, Left, called populism the reduction of fuel taxes by Sps.
Ap spokesman on energy and the environment, Espen Barth Eide, said that Ap did not support a reduction in fuel taxes and felt that it was the wrong way to proceed.
"It's a political hold that is false and violates the polluter-pays principle.We share Sp's ambition to live on all of Norway, but it's also important to use the resources to enable the transition to zero-emission cars, which means building infrastructure with charging stations and power supply, "said Barth Eide.
