Controversy
Eva Kjer Hansen stated in an interview to the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, in September 2005, that increased economic inequality amongst the Danish people in her eyes was not necessarily problematic.[citation needed]
This view was widely denounced by most of the political parties including her own party Venstre and its leader Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
