Trygve Bratteli
Trygve Bratteli was a prominent Norwegian politician who served as Prime Minister twice, first from 1971 to 1972 and again from 1973 to 1976. A member of the Labour Party, he was known for his progressive policies and efforts to modernize Norway’s economy and welfare system. Bratteli was also a strong advocate for social democracy and played a significant role in shaping Norway's post-war political landscape. His statement, 'Tiden for tog er over i Norge' ('The time for trains is over in Norway'), reflects his understanding of the challenges posed by Norway's geography and the inefficiencies of railway investments compared to road transport.
