– There are problems at Christiansborg and in the political parties, we must have done something about it.
– It’s not a very big problem, but it’s there. That is why we in the Social Democrats have decided on a leadership code with education and to tighten up the rules that apply, says the Prime Minister.
As chairman of the Social Democrats, she has, according to TV2, sent a letter to each of the women who have accused former mayor of Copenhagen Frank Jensen (S) of sexually abusive behavior.
Despite the criticism, the prime minister’s party comrade first chose to stay in his position, but he ended up retiring the next day in October.
In the letters, Mette Frederiksen has called the behavior “sexually offensive”. A law firm has investigated the behavior, which has been repeatedly described by the media at the time they took place.
– As a leader, you always carry a responsibility. Fortunately, I do not do in the specific cases in which I have not been involved.
– But it’s a responsibility I take on. We have launched a number of initiatives, says the Prime Minister.
The party has tightened up the rules and introduced a leadership code.
– Every time there is a person who experiences abuse or attention, you have not asked if it is sexual harassment or degrading speech, then it is one person too many who experience it, says Mette Frederiksen.
