Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Saturday “strongly condemned” a “shameful attack” on his Danish counterpart Mette Frederiksen, after the latter was struck by a man while walking in central Copenhagen on Friday night.

“Use of violence in politics is unacceptable and has no place in a civilised world”, the PM noted, wishing Frederiksen recovery.

I strongly condemn the shameful attack on the Prime Minister of Denmark, H.E. Mette Frederiksen. The use of violence in politics is unacceptable and has no place in a civilized world. I wish Prime Minister Frederiksen good health.
