A new Wilke poll for Jyllands-Posten shows that nearly two thirds of all voters \u2013 63.4% \u2013 believe it\u2019s \u2018important\u2019 that DONG remains 100% Danish owned, reflecting the growing political criticism ahead of the decisive vote in parliament, Thursday. This is according to Seven59.dk and epn.dk.<\/p>\n

Finance Minister Bjarne Corydon again rejected the criticism, noting that there are already two Danish pension companies involved in the deal and it would be a violation of the rules to demand that the total investment has to be Danish. He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a responsible minister the most important task facing me is to ensure that we find the best outcome for Danish taxpayers and Dong Energy, and that\u2019s what I\u2018ve done. It\u2019s also important to emphasize that the Danish state will still maintain its majority stake in Dong after the capital increase and two Danish pension funds, ATP and PFA, are also part of the investment group. Requiring all investors to be Danish isn\u2019t a legitimate demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

No better deal<\/h2>\n

Danish People\u2019s Party leader Kristian Thulesen Dahl, who intends to vote against the agreement tomorrow, said the new poll sends a very clear signal to the government that it doesn\u2019t have the public\u2019s support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will fight until the last minute to increase public resistance so that the Social Democrats and Socialist People\u2019s Party feel there\u2019s no alternative but to back down,\u201d he said. However, coalition partner, the Social Liberals, said they have no intention of bowing down to the criticism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Finance Minister believes it\u2019s the best possible offer and the best possible deal for DONG and we believe him. There hasn\u2019t been a single alternative offer over the past year since the draft agreement was concluded so why should things be different today,\u201d said a spokesman.<\/p>\n
