The mounted police was brought in to fence off members of the Danish press from the gates at the royal residence of Amalienborg. The reason was a change of guards in the Danish Parliament. Again...
With the adroit cat of PM Anders Fogh Rasmussen (V) away on several international missions (too paradoxical for Paradoxical News to cover), four new members of the present government were presented as Cabinet Ministers by the de facto PM Lars Løkke Rasmussen, The Liberal Party of Denmark (V):- Lars Hjort Frederiksen (V) as new Minister of Finance (formerly Minister of Employment)
- Inger Støjberg (V) as new Minister of Employment and Gender Equality (formerly political spokesperson for The Liberal Party of Denmark)
- Karen Ellemann (V) as new Minister of Social and Internal Affairs (elected to the Danish Parliament in 2007, and daughter of former Minister of Foreign Affairs Uffe Ellemann-Jensen)
Don't tell me that Danish politics is boring. So here's my paradox for you: when do they actually start working in this mix up of cabinets and political process?
