That’s why I have worked towards ensuring that we take better care of our planet. We need to speed up the transition towards a greener society if we want to hand over a healthy planet to our children. That’s why the environment is one of my key issues.

The feeling of security is fundamental when we go to work in Denmark or abroad. Or when others come to Denmark. That’s why I have worked to ensure concrete tools against social dumping.

You can keep out of it, you can just be there, or you can choose to put your mark on it. Just like the community in school, at the workplace or in the sports club. I have put my mark on the EU. And I will continue to put my mark on the EU. I am born in Odense in 1967, but I was raised in Søndersø with three siblings and two parents working as unskilled labourers. I went to upper secondary school at Nordfyns Gymnasium, and I have a master’s degree in history from the University of Southern Denmark. I am married to my husband Ib with whom I have three sons. I’m second on the Social Democratic list and I’m running for the European Parliament. In 2014, 64,495 people voted personally for me. The personal votes are important when I enter into negotiations in the EU and continue to fight for what is important in your everyday life. I have the courage to continue to fight, and I have the patience to listen and to learn. For our community that needs it so much. Thank you for your confidence I have been one of the voices of Denmark in the EU for 12 years. And I want to continue as there is much more to fight for. Consumer protection, the environment and the fight against social dumping are the key issues in my work. Vote for a better EU, a safer EU, a Social Democratic EU. www.christels.dk @SchaldemoseMEP facebook.com/ChristelSchaldemose 5041-0856 Svanemærket tryksag.
