Alternativets youth group leader, 30-year-old Fanny Broholm, gave itself the kiss of death for a proposal of its own to klimakompensere for the city of Copenhagen’s air travel by donating money to a foreign klimaorganisation.
For a mistake she came to vote for the Conservative amendment, to plant trees for the same amount of 55.000. kroner in Copenhagen. Alternativets six votes gave a Conservative proposal, a majority of 26 votes to 22 with S, SF and LA.
Subsequently, it went up for the 30-year-old group chairman of the Alternative, Fanny Broholm, that she had voted for a proposal, which she very much wanted to make about today’.
– I could have buried myself alive. Subsequently, I have done everything I can to get the very unambitious plan, says Fanny Broholm.
the Decision instead to plant trees in Copenhagen was criticized in the DR Detector, because the approximately 215 trees, money rows to delete will not be able to compensate for local flights in 2017 ended up in 2492 ones.
According to the municipality’s own inventory it will require that the plants 153.000 trees, which will cost 40 million dollars in the plant and is equivalent to two-thirds of the Park, in order to answer flyrejsernes 442 tonnes of CO2 emissions. It will cost a million dollars a year.
Fanny Broholm explain pinagtigt, that she thought that the Conservative proposal to plant trees would apply in the rearward direction as a compensation for the last nine years of air travel.
Fejlslutningen happened according to her, because the group chairman for the Conservatives, James Næsager, first told on their amendments shortly before the meeting, and that she therefore had not the opportunity to put themselves into it.
– We have at city hall is an unwritten rule that we do not make amendments just before a meeting, because it is very difficult to prepare during the meeting, says Fanny Broholm.
Although she is new as the group chairman and the party is new at the town hall, does she not, that the lack of experience is the explanation for her erroneous vote.
– There is a fault from our side, because there is a lot at the meetings. It was the procedure itself up to the vote, which meant that we got there. If I had been more experienced, I might be able to smell the fuse, she explains.
Alternativets political rapporteur, Carolina Magdalena Maier did not wish to comment on the matter.
That there up to the vote should be talking about unclean trot, several politicians from the town hall did not back up.
Conservative Jacob Næsager has earlier made the proposal about the possibility to plant trees in Copenhagen at a meeting of the finance Committee. In addition, there is a political consideration at the meeting, and she could have put the question to the amendment’s importance.
– I believe that Fanny Broholm need to get up on the horse instead of blame my way of dealing with the case on, says Jakob Næsager.
Socialist people’s party group chairman, Klaus Mygind, do not believe either that it is preposterous, to put the oral amendment, as it is a democratic right.
– I do not think that Fanny Broholm is excused because she is the main character, says Klaus Mygind.
At Liberal Alliance considers group chairman Alex Vanopslagh not that there is any unwritten rule.
At the Radical Left tells the group chairman Mette Annelie Rasmussen, that she could understand Jacob Næsagers proposal, but that it was not illuminated well enough up to the vote, and therefore opted for the Radical Left that vote blank.

Alternativets proposal went out on that one compensated flyrejsernes CO2 emissions, by sending the money to the German non-profit organisation Atmosfair, which invests in renewable energy and fail projects in the field of forest recovery, as several climate experts have raised criticism.
Jacob Næsager pleased now that the Alternative selected to move away from ‘a very elitist project’ and that instead, planted trees in Copenhagen. He has a hard time to understand why Copenhagen must send money to the other side of the earth to klimakompensere.
– It is a little, when we sent the money to the catholic church before the reformation, says Jakob Næsager, who points out that he will work for the city of Copenhagen lives up to its goal of becoming CO2 neutral in 2025.
Alex Vanopslag add to the with catholic references.
– I do not believe that one must flog themselves with its klimasyndere, but if we are finally going to klimakompensere, so we should do it properly, he says.
