Lene Vågslid

Lene Vågslid (born 17 March 1986) is a Norwegian teacher and politician for the Labour Party.

She then joined the Standing Committee on Local Government and Public Administration in 2021, which she led until her ministerial appointment in February 2025.

[3] When she and Åsmund Grøver Aukrust were appointed to government, the party chose Ingvild Kjerkol and Tuva Moflag as their successors.

[5] A week after assuming office, criticism was levelled against NRK presenter Fredrik Solvang when he questioned how Vågslid in a recent Debatten episode, could manage her personal life due to having abstained from participating in the programme before becoming minister.

Former culture minister Anette Trettebergstuen and Christian Democratic Party deputy leader Ida Lindtveit Røse argued that the editorial team was enforcing stereotypes with the question and Solvang argued that the question wasn't intended to criticise Vågslid's capability to be minister.
