Around 34 percent of Danish voters think that Mette Frederiksen is doing poorly as prime minister, and only 43 percent think that she is doing well, a poll from Epinion shows.
Like a December 2021 poll, the nine percentage point difference is the lowest since she took office, but the level of disappointment with her performance is one percentage point higher – the worst yet.
With a general election around the corner – possibly in the autumn, but certainly before the end of June 2023 – and the red and blue blocs level in the polls, it is yet another sign that the wheels may be coming off her government.
The public cannot forgive Minkgate
In March 2020, just three weeks after the prime minister quickly put the country into a corona lockdown, around 79 percent gave her premiership a thumbs up, while only 5 percent said she was feeling unwell.
But Minkgate has clearly disappointed the public and left them questioning her credibility and credibility as a leader.
At the beginning of July, Radikale said it would submit a vote of no confidence in Frederiksen if the Prime Minister does not call a general election before the opening of the Parliament on 4 October.
SF wants changes in the schools
Radicals are not the only government allies ruffling feathers, Politiken reported yesterday.
SF cancels the central settlement concerning the elementary schools, which was supported almost a decade ago, when it was introduced by Helle Thorning Schmidt’s red bloc government. Its decision means that a new agreement must be reached after the next election.
SF wants the schools to have more freedom in their decision-making. The party is in favor of a shorter school day and increased hours when two teachers are present.
