Danish PM hit by man in Copenhagen street, her office says
www.bbc.com
The assault took place on a square in central Copenhagen where a man walked up to her and hit her.

The court hearing just ended. The attacker was a Polish guy who was blackout intoxicated by alcohol and drugs during the incident. He is known by local police from previous episodes in which he has been mentally “unhinged”. He does not recall the episode other than being positively thrilled to meet the prime minister. He was ashamed of his actions.

    Unlike totalitarian regimes, democracy does not have strong protections against disbanding itself, just look at Hungary, Russia or Turkey. So, in the long run democracy is just a temporary fad that will fade away eventually.

      None of those countries are good representations of where democracy is heading…

        They have the same rules as all the other democratic countries. The only difference is that they had someone take over the democratic process.

          They’re different because corruption (and in turkey: religion) was already present to such a degree that an actual democracy never happened.
