LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO METTE FREDERIKSEN.
Denmark’s outgoing Prime Minister. The woman who has a strained relationship with Donald Trump and has been conspicuously absent from his major gatherings in Washington.
Let me tell you who she is.
During COVID, Frederiksen became one of Europe’s most aggressive voices against the unvaccinated.
She stood at press conference after press conference and made it clear that those who chose not to vaccinate were the enemy of the many.
Her own words:
“For all of you who are not vaccinated, things are going to become more difficult. And that’s also how I think it should be.”
“There is no excuse for not being vaccinated. You bear a responsibility for the whole of Danish society right now.”
“A small group is not playing by the rules that you have to play by during a pandemic. You bear a responsibility for all of Danish society right now.”
Danish researchers and ethicists publicly called her rhetoric a “shaming strategy” - a deliberate division of the population into us and them.
And then there is the mink scandal.
In November 2020, Frederiksen ordered the culling of Denmark’s entire mink industry - approximately 15 million animals. Without legal authority - though she claimed she was unaware of this….and still don’t check it?
No law existed that permitted it.
A commission was set up to investigate what happened and who knew what when.
And then came the revelation.
Mette Frederiksen and three of her closest advisers had set their phones to automatically delete all text messages after 30 days.
The commission tried to retrieve the messages. They could not.
Of 65 witnesses called before the commission, only five had deleted messages. Four of them were key staff in the Prime Minister’s office - and the Prime Minister herself.
Four government agencies including military intelligence tried to recover the deleted messages. They failed.
The only thing we know about them is what Frederiksen herself said - that they would have shown a “direct tone” and “fresh language” in the Prime Minister’s office.
And then - in a twist that would be unbelievable in a political drama - internal documents from military intelligence revealed that a staff member believed more could have been done to recover the messages - but the attempt was never made.
She was never sent to face a constitutional court.
The case expired.
And the same woman who shamed ordinary Danes for their personal medical choices - who ordered an entire industry destroyed without legal authority - who deleted the messages that could have exposed what really happened - is the Prime Minister who looks down on Donald Trump.
Many of us in Denmark hope she does not keep her post when the new government is finally formed.
She has had her time.
It is time for something different.
And anything is better.
