Mike Fonseca acknowledges concerns over relationship
Mike Fonseca, who left the Moderates over a relationship with a 15-year-old, has returned to the Danish Parliament after medical leave. Recognizing the odd nature of the relationship, Fonseca states he and his girlfriend are happy and in love. He has conversed with other MPs during his time off but refuses to disclose names. Former Moderate leader Lars Løkke Rasmussen had criticized Fonseca and suggested he resign. Fonseca viewed the party’s code of conduct as not applicable to his private life, a standpoint he now acknowledges as naïve. Though reported for grooming, no charges were filed, and Fonseca claims there was no sexual relationship before she turned 15. He has considered joining another party, but so far, attempts have been unsuccessful.
