Siv Jensen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siv Jensen (born June 1, 1969 in Oslo) is the chairman of the Progress Party, the largest opposition party in Norway, and altso the largest party of Norway. She was appointed party chairman on May 6, 2006, after a long period of being next in leadership, after Carl I. Hagen, party's chairman for 28 years, resigned in 2006. In September 2006 a political biography on Siv Jensen was released written by chief editor of the magazine Ny Tid, Martine Aurdal. Siv Jensen is altso the most likely to run for Prime minister of Norway as well for the Norwegian Progress Party in the 2009 Norwegian Palimenary election. Siv Jensen is one of the more United states-friendly politicians in Norway, e.g.: she supported the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, instead of critizing it.


On a more lighthearted note, she usually sports a "Konemishandlerbart" (Norwegian slang).

Nina Jensen is her sister.
