This is blown way out of proportion or a bad translation
This article with eyewitness reports tells that a man going the opposite way, across a city square, gives the prime minister a hard shove on the shoulder, and she almost falls over, but avoids to fall. Attacked? Yes. Beaten: No
Thanks for the danish link. Definitely not "beaten". I haven't lived in Scandinavia in nearly 20 years and am way out of touch with politics there. What's the reasoning behind this?
I don't think it was something planned. My guess is some idiot randomly sees the prime minister, and decides to give her a shove. She's made some unpopular decisions. Last year she abolished a national holiday, on some questionable grounds, that it would increase employment and earlier this year, she strongly implied that the Danish working morale was low, and that we should put in more hours. She recently said it was a mistake to remove the holiday, and that her statement about work morale was taken out of context. Not that she's going to bring back the holiday. The statement about work morale could only be interpreted one way, even in the full context of the speech she gave
