Ritt Bjerregaard was a Danish politician who was a member of the Danish Social Democrats, and was Lord Mayor of Copenhagen from 1 January 2006 to 2010. She had several Danish cabinet positions during her career. Bjerregaard was the European Commissioner for Environment, Nuclear Safety and Civil Protection in the Santer Commission from 1995 to 1999, representing Denmark.[1]

She has attended two Bilderberg meetings, in 1991 and 1995. She has also attended Trilateral Commission meetings in 1992, 1998 and 2002.

The others are Mogens Lykketoft and Poul Nyrup Rasmussen as well as Svend Auken. these four together formed the leadership of the Social Democratic Party after Anker Jørgensen quit as chairman in 1987.[2]


Spending habits

During her time as minister of education in 1978, she stayed in a luxury suite at the Ritz Hotel in Paris during a Unesco conference, and this forced her to step down when it became known. Later on The National Audit Office declared that she had not spent more money than other ministers.[3] This later fueled a debate at the Danish Parliament.[4] She returned to politics again soon hereafter in 1979 as social minister.

In the early 1990s it was revealed she had used her connections within the Social Democratic organisations to get a large flat in Copenhagen, although she rarely used it, living on Funen. She was then forced to step down as parliamentary group leader of the Social Democrats. After a year, the case was dropped by the municipality.

In August 2007, Bjerregaard ordered custom designed furniture for her Lord Mayor office at a cost of 850,000 kroner (US$161,000).[5][6]
