“I must say that this upsets those of us who are close to her,” reacted Danish Environment Minister Magnus Heunicke. “This should not happen in our beautiful, safe and free country.”
A “revolting” assault
The assault by the Danish Prime Minister is “revolting”, stated the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola, judging that “violence (had) no place in politics”.
Charles Michel, the President of the European Council, declared himself “outraged” and indicated that he “strongly condemned this cowardly aggression”, which occurred because the Danes have been making ready to take part within the European elections on Sunday.
