His resignation was submitted by the competent Danish minister after he ordered the slaughter of 17 million minks in the country. The response to the coronavirus turned out to be illegal.
Danish Minister of Food and Agriculture Mogens Jensen resigned after giving an illegal order to reduce the country’s 17 million mink population due to a mutation in the coronavirus, Telex writes in the wake of the MTI.
“I have informed the prime minister of my intention to resign from my government post. I am aware that I do not have adequate support among the parliamentary parties,” Jensen wrote on Twitter.
“It is prudent for Mogens Jensen to leave. There was no other way out,” said Pia Olsen Dyhr, president of the Danish Socialist People’s Party (SF). SF is a parliamentary ally of the minority government headed by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
The opposition also welcomed Jensen’s resignation, but also raised Frederiksen’s liability by demanding an independent investigation into the matter.
“It is not Mogens Jensen who should be solely responsible for a decision that is actually made in the prime minister’s office. Mette Frederiksen must take responsibility,” read Kristian Thulesen Dahl, chairman of the populist right-wing Danish People’s Party.
Danes’ confidence in the government was markedly affected by the decision to exterminate the mines. According to a survey by the University of Aarhus, in mid-November, just over half of those surveyed said they trust the government, compared with 75 percent in July.
