In a striking development, the main board of the New Right party has reported the party’s former chairman, Pernille Vermund, who is now a member of the Liberal Alliance party, as well as the former member Kim Edberg Andersen, who is now with the Denmark Democrats party, to the police. The report comes in the aftermath of a controversial closure of the New Right party’s parliamentary group, an act which the main board describes as illegal and damaging to the party’s continued functioning. According to documents obtained by Ekstra Bladet, the report includes several serious accusations. These include improper handling of the party’s bank accounts and attempts to dissolve the party without ensuring the necessary financial and organizational clarifications. “It has had unimaginable consequences for New Right as a party and as a voice in the democratic conversation,” said the main board in a letter sent to the party members.
Kenneth Korsbæk Olsen, organizational chairman of the New Right party, has publicly condemned the closure and called it “completely contemptible.” He expressed deep frustration over the situation to Ekstra Bladet and emphasized the importance of a police report: “We believe that something has happened that has not happened in the correct manner. Because what has happened is completely contemptible.” Despite the serious nature of the accusations, it is still uncertain what the consequences will be for Vermund and Andersen, both of whom have refrained from commenting on the matter. This case raises questions about leadership responsibility and legal procedures in political parties, and it is expected to have lasting implications for both those involved and the New Right party as a whole.
