The curious case of Inger Støjberg

-

The infamous former minister of integration (2015-2019) has been found guilty by the Rigsretten for the illegal separation of 23 young asylum-seeker couples. Punishment? 60 days in prison. 

  • Rigsretten” is a special justice court in Denmark for ministers that broke the law. It has been convened only six times in history. The last time was 26 years ago. 

  • Inger is remembered for introducing dozens of restrictions for newcomers and celebrating them with cake. The ministerial order that landed her in jail: “married refugees under 18 years old should not be accommodated with their spouse.” 

  • Inger resigned from the position of vice-president of Venstre (Liberal Party) in February 2021. Since then she has been an independent member of the Folketinget. 

  • The majority of the Danish parliament (Folketinget) will vote to exclude Inger from the Parliament on 21st December. Why? Because according to the law she has become “unworthy”. Only two parties support Inger, DF (Social-Nationalist) and Nye Borgerlige (Libertarian-Nationalist). 

  • Strange enough, DF (Social-Nationalist Party) wants Inger to become their party president regardless of the guilty verdict. 

  • The Queen has decided to remove Inger from the “Order of Dannebrog”.
