Frederik Vad wrote that he did not know Søren Gade personally and had not worked closely with him either. After Vad's speech about his "third realization" in the Parliament in April 2024, which according to him triggered a massive storm with shouts in the street, media criticism, and harsh comments on anonymous debate boards, Gade wrote to him. Vad shared the text message with Gade's permission and noted that only a few colleagues had reached out that early. He believed that some had waited to see if it would be worth it, while Gade contacted him before the situation was clarified. Vad wrote that the experience had taught him something about good collegiality and thanked Gade as he was now leaving Christiansborg. #dkpol #dkpol #kollegaskab #fællesskab (translated)
