the Waves went high, as the president of the Indsamlingsnævnet, Christian Lundblad, took the leaf from the mouth and in the newspaper Politiken announced the police targeting the New Civic to launch an illegal collection for the benefit of Inger Støjberg.
Now shows aktindsigter, as the Extra Leaf is in the possession of the New Borgerliges Støjberg-the collection is completely by the book.
– When I have read about it in the newspapers, and the way it has been tackled on, so I think, it is violently, that a public authority can allow itself it here – it feels like harassment, says New Borgerliges president, Pernille Vermund, to Ekstra Bladet.
the Collection has never been and is not subject to Indsamlingsnævnet, because the collections for the support of political parties are exempt indsamlingsloven.
In the final decision, writes Christian Lundblad, ’that the collection is effectively carried out with the aim to support the party New Civil, that the funds are not transferred to Inger Støjbergs disposition, and that the funds are included in the New Borgerliges partiregnskab’.
‘On the background has Indsamlingsnævnet at a meeting of the 12. June 2020 estimated that the collection is subject to indsamlingslovens § 2, para. 1, no. 4, after which the collections for the support of political parties are exempt from the permit requirement,’ it sounds the further in the board’s decision.

In aktindsigterne it appears that the New Civic is completely baffled by that Indsamlingsnævnet is of the opinion that the collection should be covered by the indsamlingsloven’ – a prejudice to the party now have been unsuccessful in.
Pernille Vermund call it ‘violently inkriminerende’ when a public authority via the press heralds politianmeldelser for a collection, as the board itself now has declared legitimate.
– I think it’s quite tremendously. It is, of course, a load of our reputation and credibility. But also a load for the collection, which was legal, and everything else will be limited by doubts about whether it is legal. It is a very strong intervention in a legitimate democratic gathering, says Pernille Vermund.
the Extra Leaf has repeatedly in the course of the day tried to get Indsamlingsnævnet to relate to, how an authority can notify the police for a legitimate collection.
President Christian Lundblad has not yet returned at our request.
