Biography
Norwegian politician who served as party secretary of the Labour Party from 1945 to 1969.
After actively working for the resistance movement and the exiled government during World War II, he was elected to the second-highest position in the party after the war, and his years in office were the most successful in the party's history.
Lie is widely considered, along with Einar Gerhardsen (chairman and prime minister), to be the architect of the post-war success of the Labour Party, and of the Norwegian welfare state.
Haakon Lie died on 25 May 2009, aged 103, after a long illness.
