Frederiksen says this on Tuesday in an interview with Politiken.
Here she says that the debate often becomes too superficial and does not provide solutions to society’s deeper problems.
– The political debate at Christiansborg and in the public does not reflect the underlying challenges we face today, Frederiksen tells the newspaper.
– It is not only harmful to the working climate at Christiansborg, but also to the citizens and society, who have to live with the fact that major structural challenges are not solved satisfactorily.
The Prime Minister’s statements are in the slipstream of similar contributions from voices in the public debate.
Among others, chairman of the Radical Left Sofie Carsten Nielsen told the Folketing’s closing debate in June that “something is wrong at Christiansborg”.
Parliamentary politician Rasmus Jarlov (K) has also criticized, among other things, legal fraud and negotiations until the middle of the night.
Mette Frederiksen proposes that part of the solution is to reduce the number of bills that the Folketing must consider.
Sofie Carsten Nielsen praises Frederiksen’s announcement and calls on Ritzau fewer bills a “good idea to look at”. But she also has reservations.
– It must not be an excuse to weed out something that you just can not bear – for example, to move forward with the green transition and fight climate change. I could be worried about that, she says.
Both R and lawyers and economists’ union Djøf propose that, all urgent legislation should be equipped with a so-called sunset clause. This will mean that a law automatically expires if it is not extended or changed.
It could ensure a higher quality of legislation introduced under time pressure in connection with, for example, the corona pandemic, it reads.
– Then it makes very good sense that the Folketing has an opportunity to look at: Should this continue? Or should we approach it in a different way ?, says Djøf chairman Henning Thiesen.
The Prime Minister’s statements come up for a conference on the Denmark of the future on Tuesday.
Frederiksen admits to Politiken that it will be difficult to change the political culture. Both politicians and the media have a responsibility, she believes.
– I am really excited about whether we can do anything about it at all, because it is a big logic at Christiansborg that we must break, says the Prime Minister to the newspaper.
