Prime Minister of Norway - Erna Solberg

Norway takes its commitment to international diplomacy and humanitarianism very seriously.

But the government is receiving criticism for its own stance on migration and asylum issues. Erna Solberg is Norway’s prime minister. Is she putting populism above principle?
