 Goldman Sachs's purchase of an 18% stake in state-owned DONG Energy (now Ørsted A/S) - Denmark's largest electric utility - set off a "political crisis" in Denmark.The sale - approved on January 30, 2014 - sparked protest in the form of the resignation of six cabinet ministers and the withdrawal of a party (Socialist People's Party) from Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt's leftist governing coalition.According to "Bloomberg Businessweek", "the role of Goldman in the deal struck a nerve with the Danish public, which is still suffering from the after-effects of the global financial crisis".
