- Four of Venstre’s 18 lawmakers plan to vote against the government’s nitrogen, or fertiliser, law proposal.
- Venstre member Peter Juel-Jensen, elected on Bornholm, remains undecided.
Four of Venstre’s 18 members of parliament have said they will break with the party line and vote against the government’s proposal on the nitrogen law, also known as the fertiliser law.
A fifth Venstre lawmaker, Peter Juel-Jensen, who represents Bornholm, has not yet decided whether to support or reject the bill.
The split leaves a group of lawmakers openly opposing their party’s position, while Juel-Jensen’s unresolved vote keeps the final count uncertain.
