The Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen made public today, Sunday, April 21, hate messages and insults received on social media.
In this way Mette Frederiksen attempted to open a discussion about the behavior of citizens on the Internet.
The aggressive tone on social media is nothing new, the 46-year-old prime minister wrote on Instagram today, talking about the content of messages she receives: “Harassment, sexism, abuse, hate and threats.”
“The Danes should openly discuss the style and manners of dialogue”
“Unfortunately, this is part of everyday life for many,” she stressed, noting that this phenomenon is something that deeply worries her.
Mette Frederiksen spoke about young people who take part in TV casting shows and receive racist and hateful messages, about journalists, researchers, civil servants, athletes and politicians who also receive online threats.
She herself, as she said, has recently received many hate messages and threats, to such an extent that she had never experienced before.
“There are comments with such violent content that no one should tolerate them”
“As head of government, of course you need to have a high level of tolerance, but there are comments with such violent content that no one should tolerate them,” he said.
He has shared some of the comments he has received, suggesting that others might find the courage to do the same, so that Danes can openly discuss the style and ways of dialogue.
