– When do you communicate and lie down and roll over, as we turned, Barbara Bertelsen asks in a text message with a smiley that flashes.
– However, your minister’s only chance to turn this around is to take it sincerely and wholeheartedly, she writes shortly after.
– Any remnant of previous transparent attempts to pass it on to others – including the government broadly and thus stm (the Prime Minister, ed.) – will hit him even harder.
She has since accused the Ministry of the Environment and Food of not taking responsibility.
– You have hidden in the “government” and not acknowledged your own mistakes in the process. Very little convincing this, she writes.
In text messages throughout the evening of 9 November, Barbara Bertelsen expresses that Minister of the Environment and Food Mogens Jensen should to a greater extent take responsibility for the decision – and the lack of authority.
– But in public it is important to acknowledge that it is a mistake that one regrets – not only the letter, but the whole mess of legal authority, she writes.
She points out that it is not only the choice of words in a letter to the mink breeders that states that they must kill, even though there is no legal basis for demanding this. The “mess of legal authority” apparently refers to the lack of legal authority.
Mogens Jensen’s announcements during the evening of 9 November clearly do not satisfy Barbara Bertelsen.
At 23.21 Bertelsen writes to Henrik Studsgaard:
– Do you want to call immediately – urgent!
And not long after:
– This is very, very bad. Real breach of trust.
Following another request that the Ministry of the Environment and Food take on the responsibility, the Prime Minister’s Department Head ends the SMS exchange with Henrik Studsgaard with:
– Vanity is a mortal sin, she writes with a flashing smiley.
– Sleep well!
Henrik Studsgaard’s answer is:
– In the same way and thanks for the help.
