Alex Vanopslagh described Abud Mustafa as an example of what he called Denmark's failed immigration policy. He referred to Mustafa's participation in the TV 2 program Højskolen, where Mustafa, according to Vanopslagh, left the dinner table because alcohol was being consumed, and said that it was not a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark thought that homosexuality was acceptable. Vanopslagh wrote that Mustafa later visited Joachim B. Olsen in Borgerlig Tabloid. According to Vanopslagh, Mustafa confirmed there that his ideal society was based on the full implementation of Islam. When Olsen deduced that this would involve the death penalty for homosexuals, Mustafa agreed with that conclusion. Vanopslagh also wrote that Mustafa had stated that he agreed that religious laws should be followed, even when it was uncomfortable, in a conversation about the death penalty for leaving Islam. Vanopslagh believed that such attitudes did not share Denmark's fundamental values. He wrote that Liberal Alliance therefore demanded a halt to asylum and a thorough, individual screening of applicants for Danish citizenship. According to Vanopslagh, the party would not again grant citizenship to persons whose ideal society deprived others of their fundamental rights. #Indvandringspolitik #Danmark #Menneskerettigheder (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Vladimir Putin could hardly wish for a better American president. He referred to Donald Trump having said the day before that Russia had behaved properly towards Ukraine and had not done much. Vanopslagh called the statement grotesque and recounted a Ukrainian remark that Russia had been unable to occupy Donbas but had gained influence in the White House instead. Vanopslagh wrote that he was dismayed by Trump's decisions and the developments in the White House. He believed that Americans and the rest of the world would have to live with the consequences, including rising prices, global insecurity, and Russian missiles over Ukraine. He predicted that the Republicans would suffer a voter backlash in the upcoming midterm elections, stating that it would be deserved due to what he described as a terrible presidency. He highlighted Ronald Reagan as one of his heroes and referred to a speech from 1987 where Reagan, according to Vanopslagh, promised support for people fighting for freedom from Soviet dominance. Vanopslagh wrote that he hoped this would again become America's guiding star. Until then, he urged support for Ukraine and strengthening Europe's ability to defend freedom and homeland. #Ukraine #USPolitics #Putin (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that leftist demonstrators could burn the Dannebrog without breaking the law, while burning the Quran would be illegal under the Quran law. He did not believe that flag burning should be prohibited, but described the difference as a peculiar legal situation and an expression of religious special considerations. Vanopslagh claimed that the previous government had allowed the burning of the Dannebrog without consequences, while individuals who did something that the law deemed inappropriate regarding the Quran could face up to two years in prison. According to him, that was twice as long as Nkumba Tshiembe received for killing a 31-year-old Swede at a football event in Islands Brygge. He wrote that Denmark should be a free, liberal country and argued for harsher penalties for murder and severe violence, as well as more deportations of criminal foreigners. In his opinion, the police and judicial resources should not be used to criminalize criticism of Islam through Quran burnings. #Dannebrog #Ytringsfrihed #Danmark (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Mette Frederiksen had promised year after year to tackle bureaucracy, but that 20,000 bureaucrats had been hired since she became prime minister. He criticized her statements on the subject and wrote that she had the opportunity to act but did not do so. According to Vanopslagh, Frederiksen had referred the criticism to the finance minister, whom he believed did not seem concerned about the growth of the state bureaucracy. He called the government's approach arrogant towards Danish taxpayers, whom he described as payers of the world's highest taxes. Vanopslagh also wrote that the government had said in an interview that the treasury was empty, while, according to him, it had spent money on bureaucrats and would allocate 17.4 billion for VAT bureaucracy. He argued that a blue government was needed to change the trend. #Bureaukrati #MetteFrederiksen #Politik (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that a new survey mentioned in Berlingske showed that 53% of Danes preferred lower taxes over differentiated VAT. He called it common sense and said that other conservative parties, which had previously supported differentiated VAT, had now changed their position. Vanopslagh criticized the government's model for allegedly requiring 400 more civil servants, creating more hassle for businesses, and assuming a new IT system developed in the Tax Agency. He wrote that the model would not be ready before 2028 and might not work at all. In comparison, he claimed that the Liberal Alliance's model would work immediately, not put extra burden on businesses, and send the money directly to citizens' bank accounts without the need for more bureaucrats. Vanopslagh urged the government to choose lower taxes over differentiated VAT. #Skat #Moms #Politik (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that the government would soon grant 2,055 citizenships without screening the applicants for anti-democratic behavior. He highlighted a woman mentioned in the proposal who, according to him, had repeatedly shared and praised Hamas and deceased Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar. Vanopslagh described Sinwar as the mastermind behind the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He wrote that the Liberal Alliance wanted to summon the woman for a citizenship interview and referred to an article in Politiken. At the same time, he emphasized that he did not know if the woman was an Islamist or anti-democrat, but believed her posts pointed in that direction. He used the case as an argument for a screening model before more citizenships were distributed. Vanopslagh criticized the Social Democrats for having delayed the decision for more than two years, according to him. He wrote that the Minister for Immigration and Integration, Rasmus Stoklund, had said that the public should alert the authorities about individuals who might not deserve citizenship. Vanopslagh believed that the responsibility lay with the government, not the public or Liberal Alliance staff, and wrote that the government put citizens who deserved citizenship in the same category as individuals like the woman in the article. #statsborgerskab #demokrati #politik (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that he was happy to see Rasmus, a 20-year-old from Holstebro, who according to Vanopslagh had built a window-cleaning business with 17 employees, four departments, and 4,000 customers. Rasmus worked up to 70 hours a week, but Vanopslagh emphasized that he enjoyed building his own business and setting goals and determining on his own. Vanopslagh described him as hardworking and responsible and wrote that Rasmus was so invested in his employees' well-being that he paid them better than himself. He hoped that more people would start businesses and create jobs, and said that he would continue to work for less bureaucracy and lower corporate taxes in Denmark. #iværksætteri #entreprenør #arbejdspladser (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Liberal Alliance's Mads Strange had asked a person who described himself as a conservative Muslim in the TV 2 program Højskolen on Wednesday if it was a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark believed that homosexuality was acceptable. According to Vanopslagh, the person rejected that it was a problem and would not answer what he personally thought about homosexuality. Vanopslagh wrote that he disagreed and considered homophobia to be among the least Danish things. He believed that Muslims could be Danish if they supported the fundamental values of democracy and had embraced Denmark. As a member of parliament, he claimed to have both the right and the duty to establish the requirements for Danish citizenship. He wrote that applicants should at a minimum acknowledge the precedence of Danish law over religious laws, an individual's right to make choices about his life, and equal rights for homosexuals. They should also not support Islamist regimes or terrorist movements. Therefore, Liberal Alliance would screen applicants and say no to individuals who had praised terrorism, supported Hamas or similar organizations, threatened people who left Islam, or acted hostile towards homosexuals, he wrote. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for 2,055 individuals. He referred to the government's own statement that applicants' values should be screened, but that the screening should not apply to the 2,055 individuals. According to him, this risked allowing Islamists, rabid anti-Semites, or anti-democrats to gain citizenship. Liberal Alliance would not vote for more citizenships until the screening was in place, Vanopslagh wrote. He described Danish citizenship as a gift rather than a right. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #LiberalAlliance (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that it had been three years since Hamas and other terrorists attacked Israel, describing the attack as the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He stated that families were killed in their homes, young people were attacked at a music festival, and children and grandparents were taken hostage. According to Vanopslagh, antisemitism surged significantly in the wake of the attack, even in Denmark. He wrote that Jews here at home were hiding their Stars of David and that Jewish children were met with Nazi salutes and threats. He described it as shameful that students at Carolineskolen had to attend school under armed police protection, and noted that Danish Jews were now facing even more harassment and threats. Vanopslagh wrote that Israel had the right to defend itself but also bore responsibility for its actions. He described the civilian suffering in Gaza as terrible and believed that Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank deserved serious criticism. He wrote that peace required a confrontation within Palestinian society regarding the notion that Israel could be wiped out. At the same time, he urged the far-left in Europe to stop supporting those who maintained that idea and criticized the alliance between the left and radical Islamists. Vanopslagh wrote that he would fight for Jews to live safely in Denmark, to wear kippahs and Stars of David, to go to synagogue, and to send their children to school without fear or armed guards. He wrote that Liberal Alliance would wholeheartedly stand by them and defend their freedom. #Antisemitisme #Danmark #Israel (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Denmark's most powerful man on paper recently received a portrait, and that the most powerful man in practice should also get one. He described the latter as the man with power over the government's economic policy and asked if Mette would hang the portrait in the Prime Minister's Office. #Danmark #Politik #Portræt (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh criticized the Moderates and the Radicals for what he perceived as a contrast between their election promises regarding electric cars and electricity taxes and the government's plans. He wrote that the Moderates had offered free charging for an hour and a half at selected charging stations during the election campaign, and that at an event in Køge, there had been more press and party staff than interested motorists. According to Vanopslagh, the Radicals had promised to abolish the registration tax so that electric cars would not become more expensive from 2027. He also wrote that both parties had supported making the low electricity tax permanent, and that a spokesman for the Moderates had called it an optimal tool for the green transition. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would raise the tax on electric cars starting from New Year's. According to him, a VW ID.4 Style would incur about 10,300 kroner more in registration tax. He furthermore claimed that the government would raise the electricity tax again in 2028, even though it had contributed to Danish households having some of the highest electricity prices in the EU. He wrote that the Liberal Alliance had advocated for a permanent reduction of the electricity tax and a significant reduction of the registration tax before and after the election. #elpolitikk #valgt2023 #grønneomstilling (translated)

I have got a new hero - he was stabbed by his own co-pilot, but still saved everyone on board. Smit Machchhar was the captain of a plane heading to Israel when he was attacked and stabbed by his co-pilot, who according to Israeli authorities tried to make the plane crash. The plane began to dive violently, but badly injured and bleeding, Machchhar managed to unlock the cockpit door. This allowed brave passengers and crew members to overpower the attacker and stabilize the plane. Everyone on board survived. What those people did, I have enormous respect for. In the midst of horror, they took responsibility for each other and for strangers in the rows behind them. And the captain, who himself desperately needed help, found the strength to give the others a chance. It's difficult to fully comprehend. Smit Machchhar's and the others' efforts mean that many families can now experience birthdays instead of funerals, that children can embrace their parents again, and that people who believed yesterday they would die are allowed to return to their very ordinary lives. These are the kinds of heroes we want to tell our children about in the future. Because they inspire us with hope and courage! #helte #mod #inspiration (translated)

Her ser du den enkeltperson, som har støttet Ukraine mest. Det er Howard Buffett, Warren Buffets søn, som i alt har doneret 1,4 milliarder dollars - over 9 milliarder kroner! - til alverdens ting i Ukraine. Han har støttet Ukraine med landbrugsmaskiner, udstyr til at fjerne miner, doneret massive beløb til soldaterhospitalet Superhumans, betalt for genopbygning af hele bydele, broer, kraftværker, generatorer - og 642 millioner (!!!) måltider. Alt det, der foruden krudt og kugler også skal bruges for at vinde krigen og freden bagefter. Det er dybt beundringsværdigt. I min nye bog har jeg efterspurgt, at vores moderne elite lader sig inspirere mere af fortidens godgørende titaner i stedet for at putte sig bag flad og bureaukratisk CSR, ESG, og hvad de ellers kalder det. Det må man sige, at Howard Buffett er et beundringsværdigt eksempel på. Vi har nemlig brug for, at de store tager et ekstraordinært ansvar. Ikke ved, at vi brandbeskatter og gennemregulerer værdiskabelse, men gennem at fremelske stærke normer for godgørende arbejde og samfundsansvar. Vi kunne aldrig være blevet så gode og stærke samfund, hvis ikke de store følte sig kaldet til at gøre meget for fællesskabet. Og husk, at man ikke behøver at være millionær for at kunne støtte Ukraine. Man behøver såmænd bare at forstå, at frontlinjen i kampen for Vestens fremtid går direkte gennem Ukraine. Lad Howard Buffet inspirere os alle - politikere, rigmænd og alle andre. #Ukraine #HowardBuffett #Samfundsansvar

Jeg vil gerne fortælle dig en hemmelighed. I nat, mens du sov, brugte Danmark atomkraft. Igen. Vinden lagde sig over Nordsøen, solen var gået i seng, og så gjorde vi det, vi altid gør, når ingen kigger: Vi satte vores lid til et kabel dybt nede i Øresund og lånte strøm fra de svenske atomkraftværker. Vi har gjort det i årtier, og svenskerne ved det selvfølgelig godt. De sladrer ikke til nogen, de sender bare en regning. Lidt historie: Folketinget tog atomkraft ud af dansk energiplanlægning i 1985. Det er før, jeg blev født. Vi opfandt endda logoet med den lille smilende "Atomkraft? Nej tak"-sol. Den blev tegnet i Aarhus i 1975 og er formentlig noget af det mest udbredte danske design efter legoklodsen. Vi er simpelthen verdensmestre i at sige nej tak. Vi har bare aldrig rigtig fået sagt, hvad vi gerne vil have en aften, hvor solen ikke skinner og vinden ikke blæser. For at gøre det endnu mere skørt er danske ingeniører endda blandt de dygtigste i verden til at udvikle den næste generation af små reaktorer. Vi har Copenhagen Atomics, vi har Seaborg. Men de må bare ikke bygge dem i Danmark. Prøv at forestille dig, at Lego havde fået at vide, at de kun måtte lave klodserne i Tyskland. Så hvad vil Liberal Alliance egentlig? Vi vil først og fremmest have ophævet forbuddet. Og vi vil omprioritere de 55,2 mia. kr., der er afsat til havvind, til blandt andet to atomkraftværker med små, modulære reaktorer ved Studstrup og Kalundborg, som skal levere strøm senest i 2040. Så kan vi selv producere stabil strøm med lave CO₂-udledninger, også på en vindstille aften i februar. Det synes jeg faktisk fortjener en chance, selv om nogen i Aarhus engang har tegnet et logo. Indtil da: Tak for lån, Sverige. Sig det nu ikke til nogen. #Atomkraft #Danmark #Energipolitik

Mette Frederiksen spørger: Hvorfor skal man kunne tjene penge på udsatte mennesker? Mit svar er enkelt: Det skal man heller ikke. Man skal tjene sine penge på at løse en opgave ordentligt. Der er problemer med kriminelle svindlere på socialområdet. Men løsningen er hverken et profitloft eller at give kommunerne monopol. Mit spørgsmål til statsministeren og alle andre socialdemokrater er: Hvorfor må private virksomheder gerne tjene penge på at bygge skolen, hospitalet og plejehjemmet - men ikke på at levere selve omsorgen? Private entreprenører bygger for milliarder af offentlige kroner. Private virksomheder leverer medicinsk udstyr, rengøring, mad og it. Selvfølgelig må de have et overskud, hvis de leverer det, vi har betalt dem for. Hvorfor skulle det princip pludselig ophøre, når det gælder sociale tilbud? Profit og kriminalitet er ikke det samme. Et overskud kan komme af dygtig ledelse, effektiv drift, innovation og investeringer. Svindel er falske fakturaer, fiktive medarbejdere, oppustede huslejer og penge, der kanaliseres over i nærtstående selskaber. Det sidste skal vi slå benhårdt ned på. Det gør vi bare ikke med et profitloft. Et sådant loft gør det mindre attraktivt for dygtige mennesker at investere i og udvikle specialiserede tilbud, som kommunerne og borgerne har brug for. Så lad os bekæmpe kriminalitet i stedet for at føre ideologisk krig mod private virksomheder. Hvis man driver et privat velfærdstilbud godt og effektivt og drager omsorg for udsatte borgere, er det helt legitimt at tjene penge på det. Vi har brug for mere privat foretagsomhed og næstekærlighed i velfærden. Vi har ikke brug for, at socialdemokrater ender med at kvæle alt velfærdsiværksætteri i forsøget på at ramme nogle af de brodne kar. #velfærd #privatesektor #socialpolitik

Jeg blev oprigtigt glad, da jeg læste, at Mads Pedersen har sikret, at to unge cykelryttere får deres drøm om at køre VM opfyldt. Mads Pedersen er en verdensstjerne og har sit på det tørre. Men han tænker ikke kun på sig selv. Han tager også ansvar for at hjælpe den næste generation af cykelryttere på vej. Historien er denne: Om lidt er der VM i cykling i Montreal i Canada. Det er dyrt for Danmarks Cykle Union at sende ryttere afsted. Ud over Mads Pedersen og det danske seniorlandshold er der også mulighed for at sende ungdomsryttere med. I første omgang var der dog kun ressourcer til at sende fire ud af seks mulige U23-ryttere afsted. Nu er det så blevet meldt ud, at Kevin Biehl og Emil Nymand får de sidste to pladser, så U23-truppen bliver fuldtallig. Og det sker blandt andet, fordi Mads Pedersen har hjulpet til. Han har sat sin såkaldte speedsuit i den ikoniske grønne pointfarve fra Tour de France på auktion. Det indbragte 13.000 kroner, og sammen med hjælp fra cykelunionen betyder det, at der nu er råd til at få de sidste to ryttere med. Det kan måske synes som en lille ting. Men det gør en verden til forskel for de to unge cykelryttere, som nu får lov til at repræsentere Danmark ved et verdensmesterskab. Og det var ikke sket, hvis ikke Mads Pedersen havde gjort den ekstra indsats og hjulpet til. Jeg synes generelt, at vi skal blive bedre til at hylde vores dygtige sportsfolk i Danmark, når de vinder medaljer og skaber store resultater for Danmark. Men vi skal også lette anerkendende på hatten, når de gør en ekstra indsats for at hjælpe den næste generation på vej og give dem de bedste muligheder for selv at præstere. Det havde Mads Pedersen ikke behøvet at gøre. Men han gjorde det alligevel. #Cykling #VM2023 #MadsPedersen

Lad os nu bare komme i gang med atomkraft! De eneste, der tilsyneladende aldrig løber tør for energi her i landet, er modstanderne af atomkraft. Men elpriserne stiger igen i Danmark, og det gør de, fordi der mangler strøm. Men selvfølgelig skal vi have atomkraft i Danmark. Danskerne skal have stabil strøm, lave CO₂-udledninger og en energiforsyning, hvor ingen behøver krydse fingre, fordi vejrudsigten varsler vindstille. Og nej, atomkraft sænker ikke din elregning i morgen. Men hvis vi bliver ved med at bruge tiden som undskyldning, kommer vi heller aldrig i gang. Og vi kan allerede nu gøre en forskel. Vi kan beslutte at afskaffe elafgiften permanent, så danskerne også kan tænde lyset i 2028 uden at blive flået med en af Europas højeste afgifter på strøm oven i en af verdens højeste skattesatser. Pengene? Dem er der rigeligt af, hvis regeringen dropper sin stadig mere tragikomiske momsfidus. For selvfølgelig skal vi gøre strømmen billigere i stedet for at ansætte flere bureaukrater til at diskutere, om gulerodskager er grøntsager eller fødevarer. #Atomkraft #Energipolitik #Danmark

Danske elever læser og regner dårligere end nogensinde i moderne tid. Den nyeste PISA-undersøgelse viser ny bundrekord for danske skoleelever over hele linjen. Og hvis vi skal være ærlige: Det har været på vej længe. Folk vil gerne (bort)forklare det med skærme, øget indvandring, efterslæb fra corona-nedlukninger - og det er da uden tvivl en betydelig del af forklaringen. Men der er også noget dybere på spil, nemlig årti efter årti af skolepolitik, der har udvandet og ødelagt dannelsen og fagligheden til fordel for en reformpædagogik, der skal - og jeg citerer - “skabe harmoniske og lykkelige mennesker.” Henning Fonsmark skrev allerede om problemerne i “Kampen mod kundskaber” i 1996 - året før jeg overhovedet startede i skole (og 12 år før at iPhonen overhovedet blev opfundet). Kulminationen var den socialdemokratiske folkeskolereform i 2013, der blev trukket ned over hovedet på både lærere og forældre. Skoledagene blev længere, børnene lærte mindre. Samtidig er der kommet mere kaos og decideret vold i klasseværelserne. Jeg skal love for, at børnene er blevet harmoniske og lykkelige mennesker. Folkeskolen er en politisk totalskade. Jeg er stolt af, at Liberal Alliance med Merete Riisager og Henrik Dahl i front konsekvent har forstået, at vi var på vej i den gale retning. Nu er det på tide, at erkendelsen breder sig blandt alle systempartierne. Vi skal genskabe skolen som et sted, hvor fokus er på klassiske kundskaber, dannelse og karakter. Vi skal have et nationalt pensum med stor metodefrihed i stedet for alverdens metodebureaukrati. Lærerfaget skal løftes, og læreren skal være en myndighed og ikke en coach. Jeg kunne aldrig drømme om at påstå, at vi kan løse det her fra den ene dag til den anden. Det bliver et generationsprojekt at genrejse folkeskolen. Men til gengæld bliver skaden større for hver dag, vi venter. Så lad os komme i gang! Andet kan vi ikke være bekendt over for børnene, forældrene, lærerne - og de skatteydere, der hvert år betaler over 50 milliarder til folkeskolen. #Folkeskole #Uddannelse #Skolepolitik
