Denmark’s deputy prime minister and economy minister is leaving politics altogether
FILE - Denmark Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Jakob Ellemann-Jensen arrives to attend the Summit of the Joint Expeditionary Force in Riga, Latvia, on Dec. 19, 2022. Jakob Ellemann-Jensen is leaving Danish politics altogether. On Monday Oct. 23, 2023 Ellemann-Jensen stepped down as head of the center-right Liberal Party and left the three-party governing coalition to spend more time with his family.
A visibly moved Ellemann-Jensen said Monday he was taking the consequences following internal party criticism over dwindling support. He said he is resigning because he didn’t want to stand in the way of his party’s revival. "I am taking this decision because it is the right thing for the Liberal Party,” Ellemann-Jensen said and insisted his sick leave was not a factor in his decision. Earlier this year, he was on a five-months sick leave following a medical check-up.
