I represent all people who are citizens of the Danish nation.

Many young Danish theologians went to Wittenberg starting in 1517, listened to Luther's theses and, in 1536, brought the Reformation to our country. This is why the Danes, unlike the people of many countries in Eastern and Central Europe, became Lutherans and not Calvinists.

I would not say Denmark is a multicultural country, but more people live here now who have different roots, backgrounds and religions, more than 30 years ago. This also applies to religions.

And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction.

In Denmark, the king's faith became the religion of the country, and we are still happy with that today.

None of my counterparts in Europe interferes in politics.

A tree without roots will fall over, whereas a tree with roots eventually becomes part of a forest.
