Helle Thorning-Schmidt on her new life: 'I am become a free woman'

Helle Thorning-Schmidt is used to coordinate everything, what she is reporting.

How has it been in the prime minister's office, as she was the first woman to get the keys to, and that's how it was in the Red the Child, she was managing director of until in the summer.

In an organisation such as the Red Child is each one's messages are coordinated and elaborated down to the smallest detail, so that everyone in the whole world can live with them. But when I stop, I can again decide what I want and what I want to say at all times of the day. It is a liberation, but also exercise, that takes a bit of time, and that I just need to get used to that."

Helle Thorning-Schmidt, who on a daily basis living in London, has many of its pursuits abroad, and she estimates that she uses about a quarter of his time in Denmark.
