Nonetheless, he is generally respected and even loved throughout Denmark for his personal integrity and down-to-earth personality, often exemplified by his refusal to move into the official Prime Minister residence Marienborg, preferring to stay with his wife in their small apartment in a working class area of Copenhagen. While he has been described as not having the image of a strong or visionary leader, during his terms as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
