Magnus Barsøe wrote that Denmark should establish an investment fund inspired by Norway together with Mayor Michael Vindfeldt. They presented the proposal in Berlingske and called the fund "Denmark's Generational Fund." Barsøe compared Norway's sovereign fund, which he claimed had nearly 22 trillion Norwegian kroner, with Denmark's economy. He wrote that the treasury had an overall surplus of nearly 500 billion kroner from 2021 to 2025, and argued that the money should be invested instead of being used for political priorities. The proposal included a starting capital of between 100 and 150 billion kroner from the state's account in the National Bank, as well as annual state contributions of ten billion kroner for ten years. According to Barsøe, the investments should be widely spread across foreign stocks and managed independently of politicians. He also suggested a cap of two percent on the fund's annual payouts. If the fund started with 150 billion kroner, Barsøe claimed it could grow to about 500 billion kroner in 20 years and then send nearly ten billion kroner a year to welfare. He wrote that the fund should help pass on values to future generations and noted that Denmark's "oil" was labor. #Danmark #Økonomi #Investering (translated)

Today, the Parliament showed its ugliest side. Before the election, Pelle Dragsted promised that his first political proposal would be to reinstate Great Prayer Day. An hour ago, when we voted on the Danish People's Party's proposal to reinstate Great Prayer Day now and not in 2030, the Unity List voted against it. Before the election, Pia Olsen Dyhr promised the students that she would not cut their student grants. Now she and the Socialist Party are cutting the student grants to finance the government's budget. Before the election, Mette Frederiksen promised that the punishment should fit the crime. Nevertheless, the Social Democrats voted against it when we voted an hour ago on the Danish People's Party's proposal that murderers like Elias Shegow, who stoned a 13-year-old girl, should not receive a reduced sentence. And do you know what the worst part is? That these arrogant politicians probably don't even feel the slightest shame over their blatant lies and voter deception. Just think... They stand on nationwide TV and promise the Danish people one thing. And when the election is over, they go right down to the Parliament and vote the exact opposite, hoping that the Danes won't notice it. They should be ashamed. #politik #valg #fagforening (translated)

WHAT, dagens underligste: At SF og Radikale har sagt ja til at finansiere finansloven ved at skære i SU'en. Ved de partier, hvem der har stemt på dem? #dkpol #danskpolitik #SU #finanslov
