Last month, Prime Minister Frederiksen made headlines by speaking out against the rising tide of insults and inappropriate language directed towards her on social media. She posted some of the offensive messages she had received on her Instagram and Facebook accounts, calling for a more civil discourse.
“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.
The incident has sparked public debate about the safety of political figures and the need for a more respectful and constructive conversation in the public sphere. As the investigation into the attack continues, the Danish government has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the Prime Minister and ensuring her safety.
