“A democracy can be experienced by talking,” Frederiksen asserted, emphasizing the importance of respectful dialogue even when facing disagreement. She expressed concern over the deteriorating state of democratic dialogue and condemned the use of violent and hateful language.
As the leader of the country, Frederiksen acknowledged the importance of tolerance but stressed that there are limits to what should be tolerated in public discourse.

As the investigation into the attack continues, the Danish government has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the Prime Minister and ensuring her safety.
