Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and her administration were dealt another blow in a parliamentary probe into the nation’s illegal cull of its mink population during the pandemic.
Frederiksen’s order to kill all the 17 million mink was “objectively grossly misleading,” but the premier didn’t knowingly break the law, according to the findings published on Thursday by a cross-party investigation.
