Støre Cabinet

[1][2] On 30 January 2025, the Centre Party withdrew from government over disagreements over the implementation of three directives in the European Union's fourth energy package.

[14] In an 18 February 2022 post on her Facebook page, Tajik accused Aftenposten for wanting to make a scandal out of her usage of a parliamentary apartment in 2019.

[17] Both media analysts and legal experts concluded that the avoidance would count as both cheating and tax fraud, with calls for her to resign quickly following.

[20][21][22] In early April, Hilde Lengali [no] a former deputy leader of the Nordland Centre Party, delivered a formal complaint against Enoksen, alleging that he had inappropriately touched her and commented on her look about 20 years prior.

[23] Despite his apology to Lengali, another woman, who remained anonymous, came forward with a similar story about a relationship with Enoksen when he was petroleum and energy minister.

[27] Unlike other cabinet members who faced scandals, Brenna was kept in place until being appointed minister of labour and social inclusion in the October 2023 reshuffle.

[12] In February 2024, Brenna was criticised by the Standing Committee on Scrutiny and Constitutional Affairs for her mishandling of partiality in the distribution of monetary support to the Rafto foundation, Wergeland - centre and Utøya AS.

[30] Two days later, Aftenposten revealed that Trettebergstuen had earlier in June nominated close friend Renate Larsen to the board of the Oslo Opera House.

[32] A month following the Brenna and Trettebergstuen cases, NRK revealed that Borten Moe had appointed "an old acquaintance", Karl Eirik Haug, to the board of the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs in December 2021 and that the Ministry of Education had considered him impartial in the issue.

[37] In late August 2023, Huitfeldt informed Verdens Gang that she had breached several impartiality rules with her husband Ola Flem having bought stocks in several weapons and fisheries companies.

Both Huitfeldt and her husband apologised for the situation, while prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre expressed that he still had trust in her based on her apology.

The case led to multiple calls for her resignation by both academic and legal experts, and she ultimately announced her intention to do so on 19 January.

[44] In March of the same year, the University of Tromsø announced that her thesis would be annulled and Borch confirmed that she wouldn't object to the decision.

[48] The thesis bears similarities to a case report in the same field that was not cited in the sources by Kjerkol and her undisclosed writing partner.

[52] Kjerkol has since the revelations vehemently denied any wrongdoing and insisted that what may appear as plagiarism is instead a result of having used similar methods to other researchers in the field.

[56] The lawyer hired by Kjerkol, Marianne Klausen was herself formerly a part of the Joint Complaints Board, which is the highest body ruling on cases pertaining to plagiarism and cheating by Norwegian students in higher education.
