after Mette Frederiksen announces government agreement The new development yesterday, Monday, is that the Unity Party is the first party to reveal to the press some aspects of the formation of the government, and according to the party's political spokesman, Billy Dragsted, the Unity Party negotiated the following:
- Dental care is free for all Danes for up to ten years. Starting next year, this program will include early retirees, those with chronic illnesses, and the most vulnerable groups. Afterward, the program will be expanded to include other categories until it is free for everyone.
- خدمة الحافلات والقطارات مجانية للأطفال والشباب حتى سن 22 عامًا. وصرح بيلي دراغستيد بالقول بأن هذا سيحدث “قريبًا”. إضافةً إلى ذلك، ستكون أسعار التذاكر أرخص لجميع الدنماركيين. وسيتم تمويل ذلك من خلال الضرائب.
- There will be a full exemption from VAT on fruits and vegetables, and VAT on food items will be reduced by half.
- انخفاض الإيجارات: يقول بيلي دراغستيد إنه سيتم البدء في بناء “آلاف” الوحدات السكنية العامة غير الربحية، لكن الجديد في الأمر هو أن الإطار الحكومي سيمنح شركات الإسكان العامة حق الأولوية في شراء جميع الوحدات السكنية الخاصة المعروضة للإيجار في السوق. ويضيف دراغستيد أن هذا الإجراء يهدف إلى “تحويل المساكن التي تُعتبر مضاربة إلى مساكن غير ربحية وخالية من المضاربة، وبأسعار في متناول عامة الناس”.
- The government will promote equality. It is unclear what specific measures Billy Dragsted is referring to, but a key demand of the United List party is that the next government commit to reducing inequality.
It is not yet clear how the four new parties in the government will pay for these benefits, which will cost billions of kroner and will have to be funded through taxes or through reforms.
It is also unclear what concessions the Enhedslisten party made to achieve this package of gains, which raises questions about the party's promises regarding the issue of immigrants and refugees, which the party leader has not addressed up to the time of writing this article.
The picture may be completed or the answer to some questions may become clear when the foundation of the government is presented by the new SSFMR government at 4 pm in Copenhagen.
The name of the new government is derived from the four parties: the Social Democrats, the SF, the Moderates, and the Radical Wenstre, with the Unity List (Enhedslisten) being a supporting party. On some issues, the new government can rely on the support of the Alternative party (Alternativet).
