The parliamentary year in the Danish Parliament begins on the first Tuesday in October and it ends on the 5th of June (Constitution Day). Before the end of the parliamentary year, there is a marathon debate in Parliament. This year it lasted 14 hours. Remarks from the debate:
The leader of the Conservatives, Søren Pape Poulsen, avoided the entire debate to call himself a prime-minister candidate. The blue parties are keeping with the tradition of looking to the leader of Venstre (Liberals) as their prime-minister candidate.
The leader of Enhedslisten, Mai Villadsen, confirmed once again that her party is not campaigning for the exit from the EU and NATO. However, she mentioned that the only reason for staying in NATO is because there are no better alternatives by making an analogy to “bad marriages”.
The leader of DF, Morten Messerschmidt, accused the Yes-supporting parties in the upcoming referendum of keeping silent and not debating enough the subject.
