FRP wants to privatize alcohol monopoly: - You can go to Remy 1000 and buy a good bottle of wine

The Progress Party (Frp) believes that the private sector should take over Vinmonopolet. The Socialist Left Party (SV) believes it will be unfortunate.

I think the offer will be better

On Thursday, the Storting will consider a report on government ownership and management of responsible institutions. One of the proposals from the MMF included in it is the privatization of Vinmonopolet. Currently, only this chain of stores sells high-proof alcohol, and only light beer is available in supermarkets. Bjørnstad points out that other countries in Europe have private companies that sell alcohol and that the state regulates how this can be done.

Will there be a better deal then for most people?

– We think so. Then the market will rule and you can go to Rema 1000, Kiwi or Coop, for example, and buy yourself a good bottle of wine,” says Bjørnstad.

Monopol alcohol in Norway is an economic system in which the production and distribution of alcoholic beverages is regulated by the government. It is based on a three-tier system in which the government sets prices and sales limits. Through this system, the government aims to restrict access to alcohol, curb excessive consumption and ensure that alcohol is not used to finance criminal activities. In addition to these goals, a monopoly offers a number of social benefits, such as tax revenues, employment opportunities, and price stability.

What do we know about the alcohol monopoly in Norway?

This policy was introduced in 1922 to allow the state to regulate the production, wholesale and retail sale of alcoholic beverages. It has been in effect ever since and is still used to protect public health by controlling alcohol consumption and availability. Can anything change at this time? Time will tell
