Today Danish authorities announced that Lars Findsen, head of the nation's military intelligence agency FE is one of four members of the military intelligence community that was secretly arrested in early December on charges of leaking classified information.
Authorities remain highly secretive about the charges and it is not known to the public what information had allegedly been leaked or who received the information. The FE agency is tasked with espionage against foreign powers deemed hostile to Denmark and with intelligence gathering in warzones where Danish troops are deployed.
The arrest of the nation's spymaster is highly embarrassing to the regime who fears the leaks will damage foreign partners' trust in the nation's spot services.
Findsen denies all allegations as absurd. He was suspended from his post in 2020 following revelations that he had authorized his agency to do illegal espionage against Danish citizens.
I vaguely remember she said something about women in leadership of the military, and also something about women's rights when the Afghanistan withdrawal happened, but im pretty sure Denmark pulled all our troops out back in like 2014.
Danish troops were in Afghanistan until the very end although I guess the number of troops were decreased. The "women's rights" bit was a widely used justification for the war in Denmark so I'm not surprised that she repeated it.
that might be it. I didn't really pay attention to politics when the war started, on account of me being 6 years old, so I'm just guessing when I try to speak for the general mood of the country, as well as the justifications they gave back then. All I've been reading about since has been the war in Iraq, especially given Anders Foghs later contributions to both NATO and his own "consulting" firm, where I assume he takes money from gulf monarchies to lobby for the war in Yemen.
