# King appoints Støre’s Labour–Centre government; exploration to continue Date: 2021 ## The fact On 14 October 2021 King Harald V appointed Jonas Gahr Støre prime minister of Norway of a Labour–Centre minority government. Reuters recorded that the new government said Norway would continue to explore for oil and gas over the next four years. ## Context He was Labour leader. [Erna Solberg](/people/erna-solberg)’s government had resigned on 12 October. Vedum became finance minister. Both are unresolved. 14 October 2021 appointment. Stored as one 14 October 2021 Fact. Keep King appoints Støre’s Labour–Centre government; exploration to continue on 2021-10-14 separate from neighbouring 13 September 2021 election, 14 October 2021 appointment, 30 January 2025 Centre quit, and 8 September 2025 re-election. The Norwegian prime minister can accept a royal appointment, keep a minority, and lose a coalition partner. He does not sit as the King, as Equinor, or as the wealth-fund board. A 14 October 2021 appointment is not authorship of every later barrel. Sharing a cabinet with Centre is not a reason to drop 30 January 2025. ## Evidence and sources Government of Norway carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is the owned Labour-oil driver: a completed appointment that kept oil-and-gas exploration. ## What is established and what is not Established: The King appointed him prime minister on 14 October 2021. Reuters recorded continued exploration. Not established: A unique later barrel integer as size, or that he sat as Equinor. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Sharing the cabinet with Centre is not a reason to drop 14 October 2021.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies King appoints Støre’s Labour–Centre government; exploration to continue, not a later speech about King appoints Støre’s Labour–Centre government; exploration to continue. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. King appoints Støre’s Labour–Centre government; exploration to continue on 2021-10-14 is not a licence to treat every later Government of Norway communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average King appoints Støre’s Labour–Centre government; exploration to continue into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the premiership and fronted continued exploration. Sharing the cabinet with Centre is not a reason to drop 14 October 2021. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Jonas Gahr Støre: https://factrail.ai/people/jonas-gahr-store ## Drivers - Støre Labour oil: https://factrail.ai/drivers/store-labour-oil ## Sources - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/norways-labour-led-cabinet-takes-office-day-overshadowed-by-attack-2021-10-14/ - https://www.regjeringen.no/en/historical-archive/solbergs-government/Ministries/smk/Press-releases/2021/fields-of-responsibility-in-jonas-gahr-stores-government/id2877192/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/no-store-appointed-2021
