Committee rejects proposal to tighten citizenship requirements
MPs Erlend Wiborg, Sylvi Listhaug, Helge André Njåstad, Bjørn Larsen, and Rune Midtun introduced a proposal to tighten Norway's citizenship rules. The proposers asked the government to submit legislation requiring, among other things, ten years of residence, Norwegian language proficiency at B2 level, a test on Norwegian values, a loyalty oath, and self-sufficiency for citizenship applicants. The Standing Committee on Local Government and Public Administration recommends that the Storting reject the proposal.
