13 hours in the day foreign minister Anders Samuelsen, with all probability, be assigned to a nose. A political majority consisting of the Social democrats, the party, and the Danish people’s Party have submitted their report on why the foreign minister deserves a nose.
It tells udenrigsordfører Nick Hækkerup (S) for Extra Magazine.
– the Expectation is that he will get a nose for which he will be equipped with by the Social democrats, the Danish people’s Party and Enhedslisten. It is my expectation that this is how it is. The governing parties will of course not give him a nose, and the remaining parties will not, says Nick Haekkerup.
the Criticism of Anders Samuelsen is raised on the basis that the foreign minister has researchers allowed to quote members in the Foreign affairs policy Board said in the confidential meetings, without Parliamentary approval, to a historical account on the krigsdeltagelse in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan in the years 1993-2004.
– It is necessary, when there have been such here a scenario to say that it is the Parliament is not satisfied with. Now we need to figure out going forward, how it should be working.
– Basically, it’s about who has the right to the things that have been said in the Foreign policy Board, and where Anders Samuelsen talks with the Danish Parliament about what we believe, and do not take into account it, as we say, and it is, in fact, that is the crux of the matter, says Nick Haekkerup.
What is a nose?
A nose is the popular term for criticism of a politician’s actions. Noses, however, are rarely parliamentary consequences.
Udenrigsordføreren stresses that it is not about, that there shall not be given access to the information.
– There is not any, which doesn’t seem that there must be full access to all the information. It, that has been the question, it is whether you must be able to bring literal quotes from the members, he says.
– I believe that will happen now is that the Parliament and the Ministry of foreign affairs make an agreement on how it should be done going forward, and I am guaranteed that the agreement will mean that the Danish Parliament and the ministry shall agree on how one should be able to quote members directly.
– How big is the nose?
– It is not the world’s greatest nose, but it is a nose, saith the socialist udenrigsordfører.
In the Left it becomes a ‘surprising’ no to give Anders Samuelsen, a nose, does it sound ironic from the party’s udenrigsordfører Michael entrepreneurial environment Jensen, with reference to the fact that the party obviously will not be a minister from their government a nose.
the Left has, together with the Conservatives and The Liberal Alliance filed a so-called mindretalsberetning that comes with in the report.
– the Actual process in relation to the lack of communication we mention in our minority opinion. We are happy that Anders Samuelsen goes out and says that he takes it on his shoulders. But the point is that the Parliament should decide in the future, when and how, there must be openness, I deeply, deeply disagree with. I am in favour of full transparency in historical statements, says Michael an entrepreneurial environment Jensen.
