Danish Party Silences MP Feldt, Stripping Spokesperson Roles Over Social Media Conduct

The Danish People's Party (DF) has taken decisive action against Member of Parliament Allan Feldt, removing him from all his spokesperson positions and imposing a ban on his use of social media. This disciplinary measure comes in response to multiple statements Feldt has made online that the party deems unacceptable.

“

We will not tolerate this.

Group leader Alex Ahrendtsen informed Ritzau that Feldt's spokesperson duties are suspended indefinitely. Furthermore, his access to social media platforms has been revoked, meaning he is prohibited from commenting on any social channels. Ahrendtsen stated, "We will not tolerate this."

Earlier in the week, Jyllands-Posten reported that Frederiksberg Municipality had filed a police report against Feldt after he photographed a kindergarten teacher and a group of children on a playground. This incident drew significant criticism from across the Danish Parliament. Subsequently, the party became aware of another post that they found equally unacceptable.

“

We are suspending Allan Feldt's spokesperson roles indefinitely. And we are also suspending his access to social media. So he must not comment on his social channels at all.

Jyllands-Posten described a TikTok post where Feldt overlaid the word "beast" onto a photo of two sleeping individuals near a stroller, accompanied by the caption "Beauty and the Beast." This post has since been deleted. When asked if Feldt might be expelled from the party, Ahrendtsen indicated that while expulsion is not currently on the table, the situation is escalating. "Yesterday was the first step. This is the second step," he said, expecting Feldt to comply with the party's directives.

“

Yesterday was the first step. This is the second step. I expect Allan Feldt to comply with our request to him, that we suspend the spokesperson roles, and that he no longer communicates on social media.

Ahrendtsen clarified that Feldt is under a general gag order, emphasizing that he needs to learn to communicate in line with the Danish People's Party's principles of dignified conduct and to properly function as a member of parliament. "Until then, we are suspending his spokesperson roles and his communication on social media," the group leader concluded, adding that he is personally disappointed despite having affection for Feldt.

“

Yes. Allan must learn to communicate in accordance with the Danish People's Party's principles for dignified conduct, and Allan must learn to be a member of parliament.
