Blue Block has now announced that they want 750 million kroner a year for an agreement.
– It is important to move forward in these negotiations, which are just running in circles. So now we are putting the cards on the table so that we do not risk agriculture losing 14,000 jobs, which will be the consequence of what is on the table now.
– Then the government can also lower the parades. For now, we have shown our map. So they can calmly call us in so we can close an agreement, says Søren Pape Poulsen.
The government’s proposal is that the conversion of agriculture must take place within the framework of the double-digit billion amount that the industry already receives in support from Denmark and the EU.
Minister of Food and Agriculture Rasmus Prehn (S) has said he has no mandate for more. Therefore, several have said that the negotiations must be moved to the Ministry of Finance under Nicolai Wammen (S) if progress is to be made.
– For me, it’s not about where the negotiations are. For me, it is about the government now either having to decide to give Rasmus Prehn some money. Or we must meet at Wammen.
– The most important thing is that we make a lasting agreement on the center of Danish politics, which ensures that the many workplaces do not disappear or go abroad.
The Unity List has already called on the government to make a narrow deal with the red bloc after blue bloc proposals. But Søren Pape Poulsen does not fear that the move and the demand is the last word the blue bloc has in the negotiations.
– I think we’re laying out the cards. Then the government knows what we want. And that we are not going to screw up the requirements.
– Now I hope that the government will make an agreement across the middle, he says.
