More than 700,000 Danes have issued credit warnings following a leak of their personal identification numbers. The digitalization minister says the future of the CPR system is under review, though a solution that arrives after a seventh of the population has already locked their credit may be more of a post-mortem than a fix.
The parliamentary opening debate has been characterized by accusations and exits. Morten Bødskov faces claims of lying to the chamber, while some researchers have opted to stop speaking to the public entirely to avoid personal attacks. Beyond the chamber, a religious revival is being noted as commentators suggest national conservatives are finding new uses for old theology.
Elsewhere, the cost of a 133 km hydrogen pipeline has risen from nothing to 16.5 billion kroner, and the environment ministry is planning to multiply fines for nature damage. One professor has dismissed the new penalties as symbolic legislation, casting doubt on the efficacy of the higher fines in protecting the environment and drinking water.
