The Danish Prime Minister asks to vote and thanks the support after the attack on Friday

June 9 () –

The Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, has asked on social networks to participate in the European elections this Sunday and has thanked the support received after the attack she suffered last Friday in the center of Copenhagen.

“I hope you have a very good election day. Today all votes count equally. It is one of the most beautiful things about an election day,” he noted in a message published on Instagran along with a close-up photograph of himself in the that she is seen slightly smiling.

Frederiksen has pointed out that “there is a lot at stake” in these elections and has mentioned issues such as the war in Ukraine, climate change, “pressure on Europe’s external borders” or “the technological giants that steal the childhood of our children and youths”.

“The EU needs Danish ideas. And Denmark needs a strong EU if we want to solve the big challenges together. It matters who you vote for today. And every vote counts. I hope you vote for social democracy,” he indicated in an electoral tone.

The Danish Prime Minister has not referred to Friday’s attack in this Sunday’s message, but she did do so in another publication on Saturday afternoon in which she thanks the support received and expresses her “sadness” over what happened.

“Thank you for the many, many, many greetings with support and support. It is incredibly moving. I am sad and affected by yesterday’s episode, but otherwise I am safe,” he explained before asking for “peace.” “I need to be with my family and be myself for a while,” she explained.

Frederiksen suffered a slight cervical trauma due to a punch that an individual gave him in a square in the center of Copenhagen. The attacker was immediately arrested and the Police do not believe that there were political motives behind the attack.

The prime minister has suspended her participation in several events on Saturday and does not plan to appear at any event on Sunday either.

The Danish news agency Ritzau has reported that the attacker was drunk and under the influence of other drugs. He also assures that he is a Polish citizen who has been living in Denmark for a long time.
