- Søren Gade, a senior Venstre politician and former minister, European Parliament member and parliamentary speaker, voted against his party leader.
- The analysis asks whether Gade acted to undermine his chairman’s authority and what his stance means for Denmark’s divided right-wing bloc.
After 25 years of moving together, Søren Gade raised his hand and voted against his party leader. The Venstre heavyweight, former minister, former member of the European Parliament and former speaker of the Folketing has now openly broken ranks.
The move leaves the blue bloc and the party divided. The analysis asks what motivated Gade to undermine his chairman’s authority and whether he simply wants to retire peacefully.
From now on, attention will turn to Gade whenever Troels Lund Poulsen speaks. The question will be whether Gade agrees with him.
