Rasmus Jarlov, who participated in the government negotiations at Marienborg in 2022, points to one originator of the abolition of the Great Prayer Day: Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
It was Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (Socialdemokratiet, S) who brought the proposal to abolish the Great Prayer Day as a public holiday to the table. And notably, it was not Venstre or Moderaterne. who both later accepted the much-maligned proposal, which caused the SVM government a significant drop in the polls.
This is according to soon-to-be former Konservative MP Rasmus Jarlov, based on his own experiences during the government negotiations at Marienborg in November 2022.
