Denmark to hold early election amid Greenland dispute
COPENHAGEN, Feb 26 – Denmark will hold a parliamentary election on March 24, announced Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. The move comes as Frederiksen seeks to capitalize on increased support following her firm stance against U.S. interest in Greenland. The election will determine the composition of the 179-seat Folketing for the next four years. Recent polls suggest Frederiksen’s Social Democrats are nearing a majority with left-wing parties, potentially ending nearly four years of cross-partisan government. Support for the party has rebounded from a December low. The campaign is expected to focus on both international leadership and domestic concerns. Debate has already begun on Frederiksen’s proposal for a wealth tax to fund education and welfare, drawing criticism from opposition leaders. The Prime Minister has stated the need to define Denmark’s relationship with the United States over the coming four years.
