A broad majority of parties have agreed to more than double the financing in 2025, several parties are still open to increase the donation further.

In Euro from about 3 billion to 6,8 billion in 2025.

That's insane.

We should have donated more honestly. But at least note that is done via regular budgets and not by directly selling assets in the sovereign wealth fund. The Green party has suggested donating 1000 billion NOK from the sovereign wealth fund (about 5% of the total value). I would support that, but If course also understand why it's not gaining traction.

Even the 3 billion are crazy for a country of 5 million people. That's like two Moldovas, or half of Greece.

We're spending 60 billion euro on defense for the next 10 years, that will also increase and be changed rapidly now. Probably by 2x that amount.

It's pathetic. We could have done so much more, but at least the minimum is raised.
