Criticism of Stephanie Lose in Venstre's heartland

Several people in Venstre's heartland say that deputy leader Stephanie Lose cannot be known for her behaviour and recent statements, and that she disappoints them. Lose is cited as the reason when some in the heartland consider leaving the party. According to TV SYD, the chairman of the voters' association in southern Jutland, Arrild, says that this is the last time he has put up a poster for Stephanie Lose. According to TV SYD, Troels Lund Poulsen has nothing against the people and will not put up with it.

Proposal for a fee for foreign weddings

Southern Jutland is a popular destination for foreign couples who want a civil wedding, but the municipalities do not earn a single krone from it, writes TV SYD. Member of Parliament Karina Adsbøl (DD), elected in the Sydjyllands Storkreds constituency, has introduced a legislative proposal to give municipalities the option of charging a fee when couples without residence in Denmark get married. Aabenraa Municipality has three appointed marriage registrars and is fully booked all year round; Mayor Jan Riber Jakobsen (K) has described weddings as an expense for the municipality in themselves.
