If you are going to the wedding this summer, then order a taxi home at midnight.
There ends the party, namely, says Mette Frederiksen in a response to Liberal party’s president, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen.
the Only option to continue the party longer into the summer night, if the wedding is being held in a private area, for example, a banquet or a garden.
‘Private events at restaurants and other skaters may not take place in the period between the hours of. 24 and noon. 5,’ she writes.
the Prime minister justifies his strammelinje that she fears a slippery slope, if weddings, round birthdays and the like to get special permission to hold the banquet facilities, and restaurants open after midnight.
’the Background for lukkereglen is bl.a., to nightlife, will open in phase four. If there was introduced the option to hold closed parties at restaurants, cafes, pubs, etc. after kl. 24, it would lead to a de facto opening of the nightlife.
the Government therefore finds no basis to give the opportunity to hold such closed parties at restaurants, cafes, taverns, etc. after kl. 24.’
the Liberal party’s political rapporteur, Sophie Løhde, wondering Mette Frederiksen’s tough stance.
– I think that many danes have looked forward to, that now they can hold weddings, round birthdays together with friends and family. But actually slows down the government many of the parties know that they are not allowed to continue after midnight. 24, if it takes place in rented premises or in restaurants and hotels.
– I think that Mette Frederiksen and the government would see solutions instead of limitations. The danes have in the three months that they take account of each other and follow the guidelines. And of course, it should be possible, to a happy bryllupspar can dance the wedding waltz after midnight. 24 and continue the party for a few hours. It is simply time that the government shows more trust to the danes, and stops with formynderiet, says Sophie Løhde.
– wedding parties, sølvbryllupper and round birthdays, which will be held in rented premises and restaurants, also means really much for the Danish catering and hotel industry, which right now is in deep crisis. We call on the government to show trust to the danes, and create opportunities for the people who need to keep the special anniversaries, and for the industry to which the living of that are held f.ex. wedding receptions, saith the Sophie Løhde in a written opinion.
