Norway’s government coalition broke apart as the two ruling partners seek to avoid losing the next parliamentary election due in seven months.
Labor Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store is still set to remain in power in western Europe’s largest energy exporter even after his main ally, the euro-skeptic Center Party, decided to quit the cabinet that’s ruled together for 3 1/2 years. The general election set for Sept. 8 won’t be brought forward.
