The Social Democrats exclude Henrik Sass from the party.

The Social Democrats excluded Henrik Sass Larsen from the party on Saturday.

As a result, the former minister is no longer a member of the party he helped govern for years.

Party secretary Lasse Ryberg confirmed in a written statement to Ritzau that the main board, based on the publicly known case of Henrik Sass Larsen's purchase of child abuse material, has decided to exclude him from the Social Democrats.

Henrik Sass Larsen received the notice on Saturday.

The Social Democrats had previously asked the politician to leave the party, after the case of possession of child abuse material came to light. Sass Larsen himself has reported this. However, the party was so close to him that he did not respond to the notice and chose to remain a member.

Party leader and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was not satisfied with this solution. She recently confirmed to the press that she would have Sass Larsen to resign.

"That is what we have judged to be the most appropriate," Mette Frederiksen simply told the press.

Now, the party's main board itself has taken a step and actively excluded Henrik Sass Larsen from the party.
