The mother of Danish star Holger Rune has repeated her criticism of the Danish government for failing to get Danish citizens out of the war-torn Middle East.

[p]According to the plan, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/rune-holger/2kRS8swG/"]Holger Rune[/a] was supposed to be in the USA right now, where he was planned to attend a lot of sponsorship events in connection with the Indian Wells tournament while he is trying to get back to full fitness after sustaining a ruptured Achilles tendon last year. [/p][p]Rune was supposed to fly out of Doha with his team on Sunday morning, but the flight was cancelled, and since then, it has not been possible for Rune and his crew to fly out of Qatar.[/p][p]On Thursday morning, Rune is still in Qatar, where he is staying at the reputable sports hospital Aspetar. Aneke Rune tells TV 2 Sport.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/news/tennis-star-s-mother-in-strong-attack-on-danish-government-get-us-out-of-doha/p4MKr6Gt/"]Aneke Rune on Monday launched a strong verbal attack on the Danish government[/a] for not doing enough to help its citizens out of the Middle East, and on Thursday morning, she vented her frustration at the Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke.[/p][p][b]"I think it is critical that the Danish government has not initiated an evacuation plan for the worst-off Danish citizens. And I think Lars Lokke gave an almost embarrassingly poor answer when he was asked what their plans were for their citizens abroad."[/b][/p][p][b]"He could just as well have answered "I don't give a f..., find your own home, friends" - and at your own risk, because no one will insure such a route out of a war zone"[/b], she says.[/p][p]Rune has now been out of action for four and a half months, and he is edging closer to making a comeback. The Rune camp still does not want to put a date for a comeback, but Holger Rune has previously indicated that he hopes to return to action for the clay season, which culminates with the French Open at the end of May and the beginning of June.[/p]
