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 legit can't tell which of our Anti-immigrant fash parties you are talking about who run on platforms for green energy and climate mitigation. Because the New Right is severely anti-doing anything to help the climate, the Peoples Party is so fractured among its voters that the only thing they legit can run on is "too many brown people, so let's just fight amongst ourselves on how to "solve" that issue". Also pretty much every voter for the Peoples Party is either a young fascist, or retired and mostly angry about neoliberalism.

      During the last local elections there were DF posters that includes green energy and shit. I don't really remember the details, besides it mentioning green energy and climate as point and me thinking "huh, so they're doing an ecofascism now" ...

        That might be why I never heard of it. Because DF has had absolutely zero control over their local branches for a while now. They were also bleeding membes and voters to NB during the election, with new stories emerging every few days about another local chapter that had no members left, because they couldn't agree on anything other than "racism good".
