Inger Støjberg resigns after Supreme Court threats

She herself writes on Facebook that she made the decision since the party president, Jakob Elleman-Jensen, directly demanded it.

“I understand this is partly due to your lack of confidence in my line on a number of political issues,” he writes.

Inger Støjberg, who was also recently a spokesperson for legal policy for the Liberal Party, was Denmark’s Minister of Immigration and Integration in 2016.

The Danish Migration Authority was instructed by the ministry to separate all asylum-seeking couples in which one of the parties was a minor. Subsequently, the measure was illegal, since an individual evaluation of each couple was not carried out.

A commission of inquiry has found no evidence that Støjberg gave direct instruction to break the law.

On the other hand, the Commission concluded that it had been warned that the measure was illegal and that Parliament had been misled in the matter.

Hence, a possible testing process is looming over her as of late.

Elleman-Jensen, who has recently become increasingly clear that it is time for Støjberg to pack his bags and leave, has also made it clear that the party would support a Supreme Court process if there turns out to be a basis for it.
