The wreck DFer receive remuneration in the two years: Will not work for free

It was a farewell to Parliament for the DF’eren Ib Poulsen by-election in June. Like the 60 other folketingspolitikere he lost his seat and had to get back to civilian work.

But according to the DR have the Ib Poulsen chosen to take a leave of absence until July 2021 up to resume his job as havnebetjent in the Port of Hanstholm.

It is exactly as long as he has the right to his eftervederlag on 56.494 kroner from the Danish Parliament on the month, and it is no coincidence, writes DR.

- Work is out of the question. With the current rules it will be counted against the eftervederlaget, so it means that I will have to work for free. I have never heard of any that will, says Ib Poulsen to DR.

instead of turning back to his work, he uses the time to prioritize some of the things he has not had time to, while he has been fuldtidspolitiker.

- I have big house and big garden, which I have neglected while I have been in Parliament, and it needs a loving hand. I will try to fill the time out with, and as a fisherman I in his spare time, he says to DR.

the DR has made a survey among the 61 politicians, who left the parliament after the elections.

it has 40 the answer, and 23 indicate that they get the full eftervederlag on 56.494 crowns without being offset against any other income. They can do this for up to two years.

Ib Poulsen do not understand that politicians have the right to as much eftervederlag, but when the opportunity is there, he will exploit it.

- I wish that the rules were made so that they looked like private business, where you get three or six months ' salary, if you get fired.

- I think That's fair, and it should also do in the Parliament. Two years eftervederlag is not in order, says Ib Poulsen to DR.

In the previous term did the politicians also use of eftervederlaget.

Here was that according to DR paid button 51 million dollars in the eftervederlag in the course of the two years after the election, which is equivalent to 82 percent of the money, the politicians had the opportunity to get paid.
