Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) says she is not entirely herself after the assault a week ago, but denies that it has affected her work as Prime Minister.
On Friday, Mette Frederiksen appeared in public for the first time after the assault.
In a speech during the folk meeting on Bornholm, the Prime Minister reveals that she has received professional help.
I have received help for the first time in my life.
She has not become afraid to go out on the streets, but says that something fundamental has been shaken.
It is a completely fantastic country we have. We just must not destroy it, says Mette Frederiksen and underlines that she is not alone in having been assaulted.
A woman in the audience asks the Prime Minister why she does not use her gender more actively in the debate.
Mette Frederiksen laughs at the question but then answers seriously:
I believe that some of the criticism that has hit Helle (former Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt) and also me to some extent is due to our gender. I believe that we have a harder time with power and women than we have with power and men.
Asked when she plans to resign, Mette Frederiksen responds that she will not call for new elections in Denmark, and that she will not resign until she has been voted out.
The Danish Prime Minister was attacked by a man on a square in Copenhagen on Friday. She was taken to Rigshospitalet with a minor neck injury.
The man, who is said to have been both drunk and under the influence of drugs, was arrested on the spot and has since been detained. During questioning, he reportedly expressed remorse and described Frederiksen as a good Prime Minister.
