#AttentatNice is an attack on us all. An attack on democracy & human rights. Denmark is with France and the victims' families in the sorrow

Political Spokesperson Nicolai Wammen of the opposition Social Democrats called the attack “cowardly and vile”, saying his thoughts were with the victims.
Forfærdeligt, fejt og usselt angreb på mænd, kvinder og børn i Nice. Mine tanker går til ofre og pårørende #dkpol #Nice

The Social Liberal (Radikale Venstre) Party leader Morten Østergaard echoed Wammen's sentiments, describing the events in Nice as “a tragedy”, while former leader Margrethe Vestager, now European Commisoner for Competition, said “The sorrow of the families and friends and France is our sorrow too”.
Lost lives, lost loved ones. The sorrow of the families and friends and France is our sorrow too #NiceFrance

Liberal Alliance leader Anders Samuelsen said that “the feeling of helplessness should be replaced by the will to act” while also condemning the “atrocious” attack.
Rædselsfulde terrorisme. Man rammes af lige dele raseri og afmagt. Men følelsen af afmagt skal afløses af vilje til at handle #nice #dkpol
