Summary
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen pulls off a political miracle, forming a fragile left-leaning coalition government after months of chaos following a hung election — securing her third term with a razor-thin 82-seat majority. Backed by her Social Democrats, the Socialist People’s Party, Radikale Venstre, and the Moderates, she’s now leaning on green and leftist allies to pass tough legislation — especially on industrial pork farming, a key campaign issue. After two failed attempts and a royal intervention, Frederiksen’s comeback includes a bold agenda focused on present citizens, future generations, and even animals. Despite her party’s weakest showing since 1903, she remains Denmark’s largest party — as the country’s political landscape shifts, with populist right parties gaining ground but not dominating.
