“When you can see that in 2015 from the Liberal Party’s own assumptions can only find 290 million. out of the 2.5 billion. kr., they dispose with, it is indeed a bomb under the Liberal Party’s election promises.

But you simply can not cut so much of development assistance, without sacrificing some of the areas that they say they will not cut in, “said the Foreign Minister.
Boomerang for the government
Last week ruled V-chairman Lars Løkke Rasmussen that ‘right immediately “after the formation of any future right government will be implemented savings, so” you can use the second half of 2015 to slow down. ”
Of course we can find the money
Peter Christensen (V)

As part of the budget negotiations were spared 1.5 billion. kr. distributed widely over the aid budget.
