The Economist has ruffled feathers in Norway after describing the country's finance minister as a "a sort of Norwegian Marine Le Pen", in reference to the leader of France's far-right National Front.
In an editorial in its latest edition, the British magazine drew comparisons between Jensen's Progress Party and other populist parties in Europe, including the Freedom Party of Austria, Vlaams Belang of Belgium and Britain's UKIP. It did, however, point out the huge difference between Progress and the Hungarian far-right party Jobbik.
"To the consternation of liberal Scandinavians, Norway's nationalist-right Progress Party, which secured 16 percent of the vote at recent elections, has been welcomed into a minority government," it wrote. It also quoted Jensen's reference to the "rampant Islamification" of Norway.
