The suggestion to forbid reproducing wolves in order to secure local businesses and communities is a suggestion for part of the Center Party's new party program.
"We want to keep Norway wolf-free. The wolf is vermin and should be taken out," said the leader of the Center Party program committee, Lars Peder Brekk.
The Socialist Left (SV) Party said the viewpoint will make it very difficult to find a compromise stance with the Sp. The possibility of a new 'red-green' alliance of the Labor Party, SV and Sp has been widely discussed as a new election approaches.
Labor in particular has modified its stance on several issues in order to court a potential new coalition government.
SV politician Hallgeir Langeland said the Sp proposal is also in violation of international agreements and responsible environmental policy.
