The assault took place on a square in central Copenhagen where a man walked up to her and hit her.
The court hearing just ended. The attacker was a Polish guy who was blackout intoxicated by alcohol and drugs during the incident. He is known by local police from previous episodes in which he has been mentally "unhinged". He does not recall the episode other than being positively thrilled to meet the prime minister. He was ashamed of his actions.

So, no political or personal motivation, just a local loony.
He will now be put in pre-trial detention for 12 days.
Unlike totalitarian regimes, democracy does not have strong protections against disbanding itself, just look at Hungary, Russia or Turkey. So, in the long run democracy is just a temporary fad that will fade away eventually.
