Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced that after long negotiations she will form a new center-left government. The leader of the Social Democratic Party will thus retain the post of prime minister for a third consecutive term. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
The agreement came more than two months after the parliamentary elections. According to available information, the negotiations lasted 69 days and were among the longest Denmark has experienced. On Monday, Frederiksen also informed King Frederik X that she had succeeded in reaching an agreement on forming a government. hnonline.sk ↗
The new cabinet is to be a center-left coalition. Several sources state that it will be a minority government, with four parties set to take part in its composition. Such a four-party cabinet is being formed in Denmark for the first time in about 30 years. Frederiksen has led the country since 2019, and under the new agreement she remains the central political figure of the Danish government. BBC News ↗
The formation of the cabinet ends a period of political uncertainty following the elections, in which several parties entered parliament. Frederiksen is set to present the new government team later this week. In the period ahead, the government will address the domestic political agenda as well as the broader international context, including relations with the United States, which have been strained by the dispute over Greenland.
