COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — In her first television interview since she was assaulted last week, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Tuesday "I am not quite myself,” but will continue to work mostly from her office.
Frederiksen gave no details of the assault Tuesday when she spoke in a television interview, but said "it was very intimidating when someone crosses the last physical limit you have. There is some shock and surprise in that.”
She said it was “probably also an accumulation of many other things. Threats over a long period of time on social media have gotten worse, especially after the war in the Middle East. Shouting in public space. Maybe that was the final straw.”
