long-standing Left-a member Bertel Haarder has written a christmas song. But a verse about a rape trigger criticism.
the Left-nestor Bertel Haarder is known as a man with a special interest in poetry. It is expressed up to christmas, where he would like to write Betsidney a christmas song for the Danish Parliament.
But this year’s edition of the Haarders christmas carol, which has been circulated to the Parliamentary members, has not been received with clear enthusiasm.
Thus, given the song’s last verse, which deals with a rape committed within the framework of the Unity of rows, sharp criticism.
the Verse is about a case, which in september led to a 30-year-old man was found guilty of rape and indecent exposure committed in the technology and environment mayor of Copenhagen, Ninna Hedeager Olsen’s (EL) home.
The disputed verse reads as follows:
– Completely different hetero is Hedeager-boy: One was not enough, he vill ha two in borgmestersengen! He møved with both of them, and he pilled a little too much!
He day, that in Unity there was a community of property! M E N why must they be so strict and prevent the device list-the sex, let him get a nice witch with the home for christmas!
Spokesman for the party, Rosa Lund says to Ritzau, that “it is very far-fetched, it Bertel Haarder has walk in”. She urges him, therefore, to completely remove the verse from the song.
– It does not belong anywhere at home on the way to make fun of rape. Rape doesn’t belong in a song that is about christmas.
She rejects at the same time, that the Unity is missing a sense of humor.
– You must always like to tease the Device list. We can easily tolerate.
– But one should not joke with rape. It is a serious crime, and it is basically just much, whether it is someone from the party or the New Bourgeois, to the driller, says Rosa Lund.
Also mps from The Conservative, the SF and The Radical criticize the song.
There Was don’t want to comment on the song above for Ritzau, but refers to a mailudveksling between Parliamentary members and staff, in which he laments the verse content:
– If I had known that the last verse would be perceived, as some have done it, so I would not have written it. It was not my intention to offend anyone and I am sorry that some have been injured.
In the case, as the verse is about, was the offender sentenced to a one-year unconditional prison sentence for raping one of Ninna Hedeager Olsen’s friends as well to have blufærdighedskrænket technique and miljøborgmesteren itself.
