1. As a FRA departure, the downgrade is covered under EU 261/2004.
2. OP needs to make a specific claim for compensation under EU 261/2004.
3. The rule is 75% of the fare paid. There is an ongoing dispute as to how award tickets are handled, but that's not the immediate issue.

Reject the offer, make the specific demand under the law and set things in motion.
