The trips have been long and many around the neighboring country Denmark and its minks.

On November 4, the Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredriksen (S) announced that all the country's minks needed to be killed.

This is because a mutation of the coronavirus has been found among the infected minks, a mutation which has since been spread to humans.

But when the Danish Prime Minister first announced that the country's minks would be killed, there was no legal basis to stand on.

Responsibility of the Minister of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries

On Wednesday, a report was released on how the mink issue was handled.

It states that the Minister of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Mogens Jensen (S) on 7 November, only three days after the announcement of the mass killing of minks, found out that there was no legal basis for making such a decision.

On November 10, the country's mink breeders in turn received the same message.

Earlier, the Danish Prime Minister said that she found out the same weekend 7-8 November.

She later went out and regretted the wrong decision but said that the responsibility was Minister of Food Jensen.

After all the tours, the latter announced today that he is resigning from his post.

"It's not the right way to be a leader"

The opposition parties now want an independent commission to be appointed to sort out all the tours around the handling of the country's minks.

One of the leaders of the opposition parties, the Liberal Party's Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, thinks that the Prime Minister has incorrectly shifted the responsibility to the Minister of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries.

- It is not the right way to be a leader and it is not the right way to stand by the responsibility that you have as prime minister, says Jakob Ellemann-Jensen (V) to Danmarks Radio (DR).

The Social Democrats' three support parties, the Radical Left, the Socialist People's Party and the Unity List, currently state that they do not want to appoint such an inquiry, reports DR.

All infected minks are killed

On Wednesday, the Danish Food Safety Authority announced that all minks with established infection have now been killed.

But now all the mink in the country will be killed and a ban on mink breeding will apply throughout the next year.

This is thus clear after the Folketing's sitting co-operation parties have promised to vote through a change in the law that will finally enable mass killings of minks.
