Kristin Halvorsen is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on September 2, 1960 in Horten, Norway. Kristin Halvorsen (born 2 September 1960) is a Norwegian politician of the Socialist Left Party. She served as Minister of Finance from 2005 to 2009 and as Minister of Education from 2009 to 2013.
On 5 January 2006, Halvorsen caused a controversy by calling for boycott of Israeli products as a sign of solidarity with the Palestinians The government and the other parties in the coalition distanced themselves from these remarks, and Halvorsen later apologized as foreign matters were outside her government position.
In the same electoral campaign she claimed that poverty in Norway could be eliminated “with the stroke of a pen”. After being elected to government and becoming Minister of Finance, by the end of the four-year term she had not accomplished this, as homelessness was actually increasing. When attending a television program during the 2009 electoral campaign, she also refused to apologise to the poor in Norway for her failure.
She resigned as leader of the Socialist Left Party in 2012.
The Socialist Left, in coalition with the Labour Party and the Centre Party, won Norway’s September 2005 parliamentary elections. The resulting Red-Green coalition government marked the first time that the Socialist Left Party was included in the cabinet. Kristin Halvorsen took office as the 125th Minister of Finance in Norwegian history and the first woman ever to serve in that post.

While she stood firmly by her announcement even two months after the election, she in October 2006 simply withdrew her promise, stating that “what I have said is that we’ll have full coverage in 2007. But nobody will get rid of me if full coverage is missing in one or two municipalities”. By the end of 2007, 90 percent of municipalities will be able to offer kindergarten for all applicants, with the not fully covered constituting approximately 43 municipalities in Norway.
