Stine Isaksen joined the meeting, and then she said sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

New council in Viborg rejects more solar and wind projects, disappointing Alternative

Stine Isaksen apologized four times when the constitution agreement was presented. 17 minutes ago

The council members of Viborg are neatly lined up and seated, as they sign the agreement. All the candidates for the elected parties in Viborg's new council are part of the constitution agreement.

The newly elected mayor, Katrine Fusager Rohde (V), thanks for the willingness to find good, broad solutions.

In turn, the politicians get their turn to speak, and when we reach Alternative's Stine Isaksen, it becomes clear that they actually have to find broad solutions. First, she highlights the good things; more money for children, the elderly, and the vulnerable.

> We have two objectives that go a little against each other

> Stine Isaksen, Alternative

And then she begins to say sorry. In fact, she says sorry four times. To the employees of the municipality, to private businesses, to the citizens, and to the children.

In the agreement, it states that the planning of further VE-projects in the municipality is currently stopped.

- From one day to the next, the council majority turns over a plate, so I think we owe the coming generations and people all over the world an apology for not taking our share of the responsibility, says Stine Isaksen.

A cat leaped out

---------------------------

Despite the fact that she thinks this part of the agreement is a bit silly, she still chooses to sign and be part of the constitution.

This is especially due to the two words "for now," which she and the Enhedslisten managed to get written into the agreement. A cat door, which opens the possibility for solar cells to be planned again in the municipality, making it self-sufficient with green energy by 2030.

- We have two objectives that go a little against each other, but I still hold that we have a climate plan that everyone has signed, and we should follow, says Stine Isaksen.

How will you ensure that you reach the goal of being self-sufficient?

- I have been appointed deputy chair of the Climate and Environment Committee, and I will work to ensure that we start planning these projects as soon as possible, she says.

In all, the new council is likely to scrap 26 projects. Nine projects that are part of phase 1, while there are 17 projects that they will not even look at. The decision divides not only the politicians, but also the citizens in the municipality:

* - Out on Lars Tyndskids field, they should just fire someone up. It's sustainable energy, and we should have more of it. The solar cell parks we build up, are not pretty, but it gives cheap, green energy, says Julie Kristiansen. (Photo: Anders Davidsen)

* - I would like to have more wind and solar parks. We have a lot of space, Viborg is one of the largest municipalities, so I think it won't hurt that much. People can say they are mean, but it's just the same, when we can save the planet. It can be tiring, if you are moved to the countryside, but we should think bigger than that.

* - I am very doubtful about it, for I would rather not live next to it. It's a very good idea, when I rather not live next to it, and it takes some nature, says Kamilla Duerlev.

* - It's bad news. We can certainly use cheaper electricity and think more about the environment, says Henriette Grønvad. (Photo: Anders Davidsen)

On the other hand, there is dissatisfaction from Stine Isaksen, but happiness from the Denmark Democrats, who have fought against what they call "iron markets."

Torsten Nielsen (Æ), who is the front figure for the party in Viborg, was crucial for Venstre to be able to ensure a majority and take the mayor's seat.

- For many years, we have been told that we should set up VE-projects in the wilderness. We have just not been told when enough is enough. Therefore, I think it is very fitting that we are braking, says he.

Stine Isaksen is therefore not in doubt that the Denmark Democrats should be given a large part of the credit for the new course.

- All in all, there is a large green majority in Viborg council, but they have placed themselves in a position where they became the deciding factor, says Stine Isaksen.
