Denmark’s Frederiksen Takes Narrow Lead Into Coalition Talks
Denmark’s Social Democrats led the parliamentary vote but won less than a quarter of the ballots, leaving Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in the strongest position to form a new government though her party’s worst result in over a century signals a bruising, coalitions-building process. Analysts say she may need concessions to either the left or the right, with The Moderates’ swing-vote status key to securing a majority; her stand against Trump over Greenland boosted her profile, but domestic issues and voter fatigue could complicate efforts to deliver a stable government.
