AGF baby gear, unsafe construction and outage

Lawyers at Region Midtjylland – the regional authority – are criticising Aarhus Universitetshospital for handing out free AGF baby gear to new parents. In Silkeborg, residents have to move out of their homes due to a possible calculation error, and in Aarhus Ø, an area has been cordoned off because parts of a glass facade may fall down. Microsoft says that the company’s services are working again after Friday’s outage.

Hospital criticised for free AGF baby gear

Region Midtjylland's own legal experts are now criticising Aarhus Universitetshospital (AUH) in a case involving the distribution of free AGF baby gear to new parents. The case began earlier in the week, when the hospital and the superligaklub AGF said in a joint press release that midwives would henceforth offer newborns a bodysuit with AGF's logo and the text "Jeg åbner mine øjne i Aarhus".

The initiative immediately drew sharp criticism in Jyllands-Posten from a professor of administrative law at Aalborg Universitet. He assessed that the hospital was breaking fundamental rules by advertising for and favouring a private company. DR Nyheder Østjylland

Uncertain construction: Residents must move, and the area is cordoned off

In the Byhaven 4 residential development in Silkeborg, residents are to be rehoused. According to Silkeborg Kommune (the local authority), a structural engineer may have made a calculation error regarding the building's load-bearing structures when it was constructed between 2021 and 2023. Subsequent investigations have shown that the building is not safe to occupy in strong winds, and residents must therefore move out within a short time.

On Aarhus Ø, serious problems with the Havneholmen apartment development have been discovered again. On Friday, areas around the building were cordoned off because parts of the glass facade risk falling. There have also previously been problems with the balconies. TV 2 Østjylland TV 2 Østjylland
