Governing coalition member Radikale says the reason for the recent decision to drop efforts to earmark three months of paternity for fathers was uncertainty by Socialdemokrat members of the cabinet.

Vestager is expected to be roundly criticised by party members for walking away from earmarked paternity for men.
