Oslo independence referendum, 2018

The 2018 Oslo independence referendum was a referendum to ask voters in the Fielgerian Oslo County whether it should proclaim national sovereignty and become an independent country, recreating the Free City of Oslo, with the condition precedent of offering a political and economic agreement to Fielger.

Background
In June 1979 a referendum was held for the independent Free City of Oslo to join Fielger as a County after Oslo declared bankruptcy. Official results were said to be 55% for joining Fielger.

In November 2018 after a private investigation, mails sent by Alf Serum (president of Fielger 1976-1980) in 1979 to government officials of Oslo have been revealed. It was exposed that Serum sent more than 500,000 steins to manipulate the referendum's vote. To this day he denies the legitimacy of these mails and questions the legal side of the investigation. The "Serum mails" made national headlines and started political debated all over Fielger. Just days after the controversy the Oslo separatist movement was created and organized protests and marches mostly in the city, as an effort to grand independent back to the Free City of Oslo.

On October 2nd Trygve Sumessen called a referendum for Oslo's independence that took place on the 14th of October.

Result and aftermath
With 71.5% of "Yes" votes, Oslo is granted independence as the Free City of Oslo. All of the Oslo County land is now part of the new city-state. Map of Fielger has been redrawn. The CON Parliament in now again the parliament of Oslo.

Trygve Sumessen called for a CON summit with a goal to decide on the location for a new parliament building.
