true to Tradition, the flowing constitution day with speakers from politicians over the country.
See a selection of them here:
* Prime minister Mette Frederiksen (S):
– I have never ever in my life been so much in doubt, as in this spring. As in the crisis we have just been through. The dilemmas have been enormous. Actually, they’re still there.
– But that we acted so quickly. It is – I think – the most important political decision I’ve ever made.
– The political differences – they will of course once again stand out more clearly, not least when we get started with the recovery of the Danish economy. We come each with our starting point. Opinions are broken. And it is basically healthy.
– But I will do my best to, that we are still pursuing the broad political cooperation. I think that it makes the results better. And also more durable.
* the minister of Defence Trine Team (S) and MEP Christel Schaldemose (S) in a common case:
– Because we have a strong democracy, we could act decisively. We are fending off a potentially big crisis.
– Coronakrisen have changed much, but it has not weakened our democracy. It is, on the contrary, been strengthened by the crisis. Confidence in politicians and authorities are grown.
– We have a historic opportunity to find the new focal point for the european countries.
* Former minister of finance, Claus Hjort Frederiksen (V)
– This constitution day is celebrated on a serious background. We are now about to re-open the society. It means, once again, we must ensure that our freedoms are strengthened, while at the same time we must prepare for new pandemics.
– It also acts as the prime minister himself have quickly become accustomed to making decisions without the Parliament. Now that we’re back to a political life, we must see whether the restoration of the democratic rules of the game gives the prime minister the withdrawal symptoms.
* Former prime minister and president of the Left, Lars Løkke Rasmussen (V):
– My pious wish on black Friday is, therefore, that the government will soon deprive the government the extraordinary skills and restoring normality in political life.
– I roses just once – for the sake of security – the prime minister for the extraordinary and decisive leadership on the edge of crisis.
(There) is now recreated so much control, that there was no evidence of a etpartiregering with a start in a quarter of the population must have extraordinary and warlike powers on behalf of everyone.
* Former minister of finance and vice-president of the Left Kristian Jensen (V):
– We need to return to everyday life. A large number of our freedoms is put out of the game. The right to meet, gather, and celebrate birthdays. It is so easy to lose freedom, and it is so hard to get it.
– We must fight for the powers, as politicians and ministers now have, be given back to those who must have them: You, me, they and everyone else in this amazing country
* Former chairman of the Danish people’s Party Pia Kjærsgaard:
– We have the past few years have seen a concentration of power without precedent in the recent history of denmark.
– When we are talking democracy, it is also necessary to talk about the european UNION. For years we have been tudet ears full of the importance of common solutions, common currency and open borders. Then came the coronakrisen. The borders were closed. The “outdated” nation-states had to face it alone. The UNION was complete bovlam.
we Were a little too nævenyttige, and a little too good to monitor whether someone had sneaked to Malmo to buy into or go on the café? We must throw fear far away! We need to find optimism again. This is how we proceed – both as people and as a community.
