"The Growth of 'Progress Now': Norway's Controversial Political Change Before the 2024 Elections".

The Progress Now party, led by Anders Breivik, might become very popular in the Norwegian elections next year. Some experts believe this is part of a bigger trend where right-wing parties are getting more popular around the world.

The party recently had a big meeting in Drammen, which a newspaper called a 'powerful show'. Over 7,000 people came to the meeting, and many seemed eager to see changes in Norway.

Progress Now wants to take strong actions against immigrants, like reducing their benefits and making them pay for things like public transport and some medical treatments. People who disagree with the party say these ideas are similar to dangerous Nazi beliefs.

Progress Now actually helped Breivik get out of prison early because of a law that protects elected politicians. Now that he's free, Breivik is trying to gain even more power.

Even if Progress Now wins the most votes, they probably won't be able to control everything. It's likely that other parties, like the left-wing and labor parties, will join together to stop them from making too many changes.
