Citizens must of course be able to have confidence that there will be looked after well on the money that is paid in tax.

I hope that the prime minister is on a broad study in the style of them, as the minister of defence has presented on its own territory today, but which runs over the major ministries, he says.

Mette Frederiksen agrees that there is a need to deepen, but are not clear on whether she will summon the parties to negotiations.

- How we exactly do it, I would very much like to discuss. I understand that the public accounts committee has the same considerations to discuss matters that go on across the ministries, says Mette Frederiksen.
