Sosialdemokrater mot EU
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Sosialdemokrater mot EU (English: Social Democrats against the EU) was a Norwegian interest organization which opposed a future Norwegian membership in the European Union, coupled with a Social Democrat ideology. It was special in that the Social Democrat Norwegian Labour Party, spearheaded by Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, strongly supported such a membership. Sosialdemokrater mot EU was active in 1993 and 1994, around the 1994 Norwegian European Union membership referendum where a majority rejected the membership.
Its leader was Hallvard Bakke,[1] and its vice leader was Tove Strand Gerhardsen.[2] Its members of the board included Anneliese Dørum.[3]
While the Labour Party supported EU membership, their young wing Workers' Youth League was the most active organization within Sosialdemokrater mot EU.[4] Trond Giske chaired the Workers' Youth League at that time, and many young Labour Party politicians worked as secretaries, including Anne Marit Bjørnflaten,[5] Trond Jensrud,[6] Synnøve Konglevoll,[7] and Wegard Harsvik.[8]
