Sosialdemokrater mot EU information

Sosialdemokrater mot EU (English: Social Democrats against the EU) was a Norwegian interest organization which opposed a future Norwegian membership in the European Union, coupled with a Social Democrat ideology. It was special in that the Social Democrat Norwegian Labour Party, spearheaded by Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, strongly supported such a membership. Sosialdemokrater mot EU was active in 1993 and 1994, around the 1994 Norwegian European Union membership referendum where a majority rejected the membership.

Its leader was Hallvard Bakke,^[1] and its vice leader was Tove Strand Gerhardsen.^[2] Its members of the board included Anneliese Dørum.^[3]

While the Labour Party supported EU membership, their young wing Workers' Youth League was the most active organization within Sosialdemokrater mot EU.^[4] Trond Giske chaired the Workers' Youth League at that time, and many young Labour Party politicians worked as secretaries, including Anne Marit Bjørnflaten,^[5] Trond Jensrud,^[6] Synnøve Konglevoll,^[7] and Wegard Harsvik.^[8]
