Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen Speaks Out After Assault
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen recently gave her first interview since being assaulted in a Copenhagen square last week. Despite suffering minor whiplash in the attack, Frederiksen stated that she will continue working, although she admitted to not feeling great and being shaken by the incident. The assault, which is not believed to be politically motivated, led to the detainment of a 39-year-old Polish man on suspicion of assault. Frederiksen described the attack as crossing a physical limit and emphasized that violence has no place in society. She also expressed concerns about the changing tone in politics and highlighted the need for a safer environment for public figures. The assailant, who reportedly praised Frederiksen in court, is currently held on preliminary charges of violence against a public servant. The incident, which occurred in a busy square in Copenhagen, has raised discussions about the security of politicians and public figures. Despite the incident, Frederiksen, who became the youngest Danish prime minister in 2019, is determined to continue her work for the country.
