Arbeider-Politikken


Arbeider-Politikken was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Oslo.
Arbeider-Politikken was started in 1920 as an organ for the right-wing group within the Norwegian [Labour Party]. Since 1918 this had been an oppositional group, mainly to the party's Comintern association. Its first editor was Oscar Pedersen. In 1921, when the Social [Democratic Labour Party of Norway] broke away from the Labour Party, Arbeider-Politikken became the party's main organ.
In 1924 Hans Amundsen took over as editor. When the Labour Party's main organ Social-Demokraten changed its name to Arbeiderbladet, Arbeider-Politikken changed its name to Den nye Social-Demokraten as a demonstration. The newspaper went defunct in 1927, when Social Democratic Labour reunited with Labour.
