the Negotiations have, according to the stock Exchange been shrouded in complete confidentiality.
the Liberal party finansordfører, Troels Lund Poulsen, the information of the news agency Ritzau that his party not voted for any record.
– We are in a situation where we are with the information the minister has given to us, do not endorse the document. And it, not least because he himself has expressed that he does not have the confidence to PostNord, he says.

– It is deeply reprehensible that the minister here 12 days before, that the agreement with PostNord will expire, do not have got a handle on the situation. It is incredible that he has not approached us before to get an agreement on what we are doing with PostNord, says finansordfører Rasmus Jarlov, according to the stock Exchange.
