Comebacks for Lars and Inger
Former Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen is back in the political spotlight with his new party the Moderates and Inger Støjberg has also returned to the fore with her new outfit the Danish Democrats.
Both parties are expected to get a significant number of votes when they make their electoral debut.
Blue bloc is significantly stronger now compared to the general election in 2019. The latest opinion polls indicate a dead race between the two blocs.
All this means that Denmark may have a new prime minister in the near future – and one who will have nothing to do with the collaboration with the Radicals, the Social Democrats and the Red Block.
Although Frederiksen will remain as Prime Minister, she has indicated that she does not necessarily want a government with Radicals in it.
In other words, Sofie Carsten Nielsen’s early election demands may end up being a significant self-inflicted wound for her own party … and the rest of the red bloc.
It is quite an astonishing turn of events given the firm hand with which Mette Frederiksen has guided Denmark through the recent tumultuous years.
