The Kanslergade Agreement (Danish: Kanslergadeforliget, named after the home address of Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning in the street Kanslergade in Copenhagen) set in motion the reforms that would establish the Scandinavian welfare model for state welfare services in Denmark. Ratified on January 30, 1933, it expanded labor rights, devalued the Krone and extended state subsidies to farmers. Charges for social services were also fixed to affordable levels. As part of the agreement, the Liberal party withdrew its objections to the social welfare model advocated by the social democratic government.
The agreement was, at the time, the most extensive agreement yet in Danish politics, with the possible exception of the 1894 Budget agreement.
Famous quotes containing the word agreement:
“The methodological advice to interpret in a way that optimizes agreement should not be conceived as resting on a charitable assumption about human intelligence that might turn out to be false. If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behaviour of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
