Mette Frederiksen II
It is not surprising that the prime minister will again be Mette Frederiksen. As leader of the largest party in Denmark, she has received great praise for leading her country safely through the pandemic.
The big question was which jobs should be given to Venstre leader Jakob Ellemann-Jensen and Moderates leader Lars Løkke Rasmussen?
Rasmussen ended up with the role of foreign minister and Ellemann-Jensen as defense minister. Interestingly, and perhaps because the title of Minister of Defense is not as prestigious as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ellemann-Jensen has also been appointed Deputy Prime Minister.
Other important ministerial posts that have been filled include Nicolai Wammen (S) as finance minister, Troels Lund Poulsen (V) as economy minister, Sophie Løhde (V) as interior and health minister, Peter Hummelgaard (S) as justice minister, Jakob Engel -Schmidt (M) as culture minister and Morten Bødskov (S) as business minister.
Three ministers from the former Mette Frederiksen government continue as before: Kaare Dybvad Bek, Nicolai Wammen and Jeppe Bruus.
At the moment, the new ministers meet Queen Margrethe before they are presented to the public.
