The Liberal Party has stated that the party supports an actual commission investigation of the process, in which the government gave an illegal order to kill all mink in Denmark.
This is what V chairman Jakob Ellemann-Jensen says to Politiken.
He accuses government support parties of hypocrisy when they hesitate to set up a commission.
Ellemann’s dissatisfaction is due to the fact that the support parties together with the government shortly after the parliamentary election last year set up the Instruction Commission, which looks at the then Minister of Foreign Affairs and Integration Inger Støjberg’s (V) instruction to separate certain asylum couples.
– That is why it is hypocrisy when the new majority then says that we do not think a commission should be set up when there are some here who stand and confess that “yes, we drove in front of red, but we did not know there was red “, he says.
Jakob Ellemann-Jensen answers “yes” to Politiken’s question about whether he wants a commission.
Last week, the Liberal Party had not decided on what type of investigation the party wanted.
A commission study is more far-reaching and typically more expensive than, for example, a lawyer study.
This is because a commission – as has also happened with the Instruction Commission – can summon witnesses for questioning. They have a duty to come and speak.
The Danish People’s Party and Nye Borgerlige have also stated that they want a commission investigation of the mink process.
The Conservatives have done the same in the past.
– Now it’s a crime, and then it makes sense to investigate it with a commission investigation.
– The challenge is that it takes a long time, but I believe that it is more important to be thorough than to be fast, said group chairman Mai Mercado (K) last week according to Politiken.
It requires a majority in the Folketing to have a commission set up, and the government can also choose to do so itself.
