Prices are skyrocketing: Here's what politicians want to do to spare the Danes' wallets | Politics | DR The biggest price shock in 35 years has hit the Danes. The politicians are ready with suggestions on how the Danes should be helped. Of More money for those who are particularly hard hit by the rising prices, and lower on electricity. The offers are many when you ask the parties what they think should be done to help the Danes who are currently affected by In March The total consumer prices increased by 5.4 per cent compared with the same month last year. 4,600 kroner before and to increase the special green check for families with children so that it can reach 1,500 tax-free kroner. In addition, they will give an extra payment to students of 2,000 kroner before, and then they will set aside a pool of 900 mio. DKK to cover other vulnerable groups.- In SF, we propose to spend some money on helping those who have the least. This is because right now everything is rising from rye bread to electricity. And those who have the least, of course, feel it the most, says finance spokeswoman in SF Lisbeth Bech-Nielsen. to August or September, because the data needed to send the payment to the right places must be gathered in a new IT system.- Here we can take advantage of the fact that we already have some systems in place in relation to and pension, so there we can get the money out immediately. The agreement on the heat check is set to cost two billion kroner, and SF estimates that the party's proposal will cost three billion kroner. In the Left, there are some slightly different bids that come out one asks how they think the Danes should be helped.- We want peace about the Danes' finances and also want to give a helping hand; We want to lower the electricity tax, raise the employment deduction and provide a heating aid that hits even wider, so that it can come out before August, says Marie Bjerre, who is climate rapporteur. "that you constantly make it more expensive to be a Dane" .Refiled SF's proposal, she says: - I just have to say that then I do not think you understand how serious a situation we are in right now.- It is important , that people can get butter on the bread and pay their bills, says finance spokesman for the Danish People's Party René Christensen. , because it is too expensive to get to work, says René Christensen. In addition, they want a major tax reform, because we in Denmark have so many "crooked", which according to DF just rolled over to the Danes, because reflected in the price. The party sees also no problem in that in b without - thus increasing the employment deduction.- We have no challenges with that. does not hurt us, says Christensen. However, he points out that when it has to be for everyone, it can be difficult to find the financing so that it can be something that really hurts the private economy. When you ask The Unity List, what they think is needed to spare the Danes' wallets from the steadily rising prices, then labor market spokeswoman Jette Gottlieb divides it into two tracks: The long-term and the short-term. The short-term first. Here, the Unity List believes that SF's proposal makes good sense. But it requires some political negotiations, Gottlieb emphasizes. - So I can not say: "Yes, we are in favor". But I can say, yes, it is a short-term solution, but it makes no sense if you do not also take the long-term out of the drawer, she says. And then to the long-term. The Unity List would like to see all prices adjusted in general, so that it matches the prices you meet. At the Conservatives, they believe that the answer is to lower the Danes in general. Therefore, they can also see themselves in the proposal to raise the employment deduction - they have "proposed it for many years", as finance and tax spokesman Rasmus Jarlov says. - We think it is important to be reduced, so the Danes are given more leeway, and so it is not only the public sector that is kept indemnified at a time when things are becoming more and more expensive. There, we want the Danes to also have more money, he says. He believes that if you lower, while cutting spending in the public sector, then it does not have a shit on. In addition, will put the salary a little at a time of otherwise rising prices, he believes. The Liberal Alliance completely agrees with that, says finance spokesman Ole Birk Olesen. - We want to lower labor income, and thus there is more available for private companies that demand it. Then wages do not rise so much, and that dampens in Denmark, says Birk Olesen. Conservatives do not think that the one-time checks that they bring from SF and the Unity List are a good idea. - It is generally a mess to send checks out to . First you demand a lot of money, and then you send out a check. You can just refrain from charging so much money in the first place, says Jarlov. Liberal Alliance's Ole Birk Olesen agrees with Jarlov and calls the proposal for one-time checks "galimatias". You will not say much about what concrete solutions are needed. . But political spokesman for the Social Democrats Christian Rabjerg Madsen can say so much that more is on the way. - We have already taken steps to give a financially supportive hand to those who have the least and are hardest hit by rising heat prices, and we has further on the way, says Rabjerg. When we can expect to see the new ones, and what extent it is, he can not say anything about. In addition, he would like to acknowledge that there are proposals from the other parties on, and that the parties bid. He also says that they will not reject anything in advance. - I would like to acknowledge that there are proposals out there and the parties are bidding. We are not going to reject anything in advance. But it is that we think really thoroughly about and find the right balances here. is really difficult to purely political because one risks making the problem one wants to remedy worse.Updated at 11.27 with Conservatives and with Liberal Alliance at 13.00.
