Danish Prime Minister in Limbo After Poor Election

Wait 5 sec.

Wall Street Journal: “Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen led her party to its worst election in more than 120 years on Tuesday, a vote that forces one of Europe’s most prominent leaders into difficult negotiations to secure a third term. ”“The Social Democrats received roughly 22% of the vote, down from 27.5% in 2022, their worst result since 1903. The party is still Denmark’s largest, and Frederiksen may retain power, but she falls short of being able to form a center-left coalition.”“Frederiksen said seven years in government had worn on her party’s popularity.”
