Moderates’ party secretary on Fonseca: “I don’t trust him beyond a threshold”
The Moderates’ party secretary, Britt Bager, denies that there was an attempted bribery when the party offered Mike Fonseca money to leave the Folketing and hand over his mandate.
On Tuesday, the Moderates woke up to a new media storm when the media outlet Frihedsbrevet was able to reveal how the Moderates back in 2023 tried to offer the member of parliament Mike Fonseca money to hand over his mandate to the party.
The revelations are based on audio recordings that Fonseca secretly recorded and stored. Here, among other things, you can hear how party chairman Lars Løkke Rasmussen (M) tries to persuade Fonseca to accept an offer of six months’ ‘salary’ – around 370,000 kroner – in exchange for resigning from the Folketing.
