KFUM is considering reinstating veteran funding following criticism.

After criticism of the efforts made towards Danish veterans, KFUM is considering whether the organization should completely discontinue its veteran program.

This is what Ole Rasmussen, chairman of KFUM's Soldier Mission, told Politiken.

The chairman emphasizes that this is not "the only scenario."

He acknowledges that the help provided to veterans at KFUM's so-called soldier recreations has not been good enough.

"We have tried to go the way we could. But I can certainly see that it hasn't been good enough," says the chairman, who "cannot exclude" that the task has been too big a mouthful.

Politiken has described in recent weeks that a number of veterans and employees of KFUM report neglect and lack of professional effort on the soldier recreations.

Ole Rasmussen does not believe that the culture and work environment at KFUM have been in order.

However, he cannot recognize the image of several veterans saying that they felt like "a business" for KFUM.

The criticism has raised serious questions about the organization's management of public funds.

The chairman says that he has "great trust" that the management has been done correctly.

However, the organization will examine why expenses for veteran employees in several cases did not match the amounts that emerged from a partnership agreement with the state.

Ole Rasmussen already took the question of salaries "seriously" in 2023, when he was warned about the problem, it sounds.

KFUM has now decided that employees can come to an agreement.

KFUM's Soldier Mission has been operating soldier homes since 1889, where conscripts and soldiers, among other things, can buy a meal.

In 2012, KFUM also opened soldier recreations in Høvelte, Aalborg, Fredericia, Holstebro, and Varde.

The purpose is to give veterans temporary housing and to provide help in making use of the Danish military's treatment offerings.

On Tuesday, the Ministry of Defense wrote in a press release that the ministry has decided to carry out an externally sharpened scrutiny of the veteran area.

This is done in the form of a review.

Veterans deserve "the best possible framework," it sounded from Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen (V).
