Alex Vanopslagh wrote that the government, during the tax negotiations, would not lower taxes for individuals earning under 58,000 DKK per month. He stated that the public fiscal space was over 100 billion DKK, and that there would be about 60 billion DKK left after expenses to meet NATO's defense requirements had been paid. According to Vanopslagh, the Liberal Alliance demanded that taxes also be reduced for individuals with average incomes. He believed that taxes could be lowered for everyone in work without cutting back on hospitals, nursing homes, or transfers. He wrote that the fiscal space was due to businesses and employees, and that the government would only use a small part of it for lower income tax and better conditions for businesses: one crown for every 50 crowns. Vanopslagh asked why the government did not also want to give, among others, nurses, truck drivers, and craftsmen a lower tax bill. #Skat #Løn #Politik (translated)

Michael van der Galien wrote that in Hengelo drugs, hydrochloric acid, scales, and a large stabbing weapon were found in the room of two Ukrainian brothers in a shelter. According to him, the municipality expelled the brothers, after which a judge ruled that they had to return and imposed a penalty of 1,000 euros per day, up to a maximum of 60,000 euros. Van der Galien also wrote that Minister Van den Brink (CDA) called the behavior unacceptable, but did not want a legislative change because it would take too much time. He stated that the brothers therefore faced no consequences, while the municipality had to pay for their expulsion. https://t.co/ME8auRbFnY #Hengelo #Oekraïne #justitie (translated)

Malte Larsen criticized what he described as double standards among politicians in the climate field. He wrote that ordinary Danes should pay more to fly on vacation, while climate minister Samira Nawa, according to his information, traveled by private jet to a climate summit in Turkey. Also, the climate spokesperson for the Alternative party and other members of parliament were reportedly flown there, according to Larsen. Larsen believed that politicians simultaneously moralized over Danes' vacation habits and wanted more expensive plane tickets and lower CO₂ emissions. He questioned the benefits of the climate summit but emphasized that he was not against politicians flying. His criticism was directed at what he saw as a difference between the demands placed on ordinary citizens and the travel of politicians. #klimafornægtelse #dobbeltmoral #klimaforandringer (translated)
