Stomp clears the table.
30. march of this year made the defense ministry a new post up as forsvarsattaché in France, with a deadline for application 13. april 2020.
the Ministry has received numerous applications from aspiring officers, who all wanted to try the forces with the well-paid job in Paris.
Then came prince Joachim on the track, and although the recruitment process was in progress, stopped the ministry of Defence all.
27. may was the publication of the vacancy and interviews formally arrested, and prince Joachim could suddenly see forward to three years as forsvarsattaché in France.
No other candidate had been promised the post.
It informs the ministry of Defence to Ekstra Bladet.
According to Frederick Waage, who is a professor at the UNIVERSITY specializing in constitutional law, will a stop in all other circumstances than this be illegal.
– Normally you can not short-circuit a recruitment process, but my assessment would be that here is a case law, so the ministry can stop the process in a way that would break with administrative law.
– It is due to the royal family members traditionally have been regarded as something special and as some participating in the Defense, he says.
the ministry of Defence calls it ” the recruitment process ’different’.
’the recruitment Process has obviously been different in this situation, but Prince Joachim is manifestly qualified for the position with his knowledge of the Defense and the French society.’
’at the same time, he is just in the process of finalising a training in France at the highest military level, which bl.a. have given him a large network in the French defence,’ writes a press officer in the ministry of Defence in an email to Ekstra Bladet.
as the Ministry informs, that the position as forsvarsattaché in France was vacant because the current attache as part of the general service to the home.
the ministry of Defence does not respond to Extra the Magazine’s follow-up questions about whether the royal family and prince Joachim of denmark even turned to get the post, just as the ministry also does not answer why there should not be an open competition between the applicants.
