  • Denmark has formed a new government with new center-led coalition
    Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen

The prime minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen said on Tuesday that Denmark is finally set to have a new government with a left-right alliance forged after tortuous negotiations, six weeks after Denmark’s national elections left the entire country with inconclusive results.

Denmark will be forming a government that brings together both the Social Democrats and the Liberals, an unprecedented left-right alliance in the past four decades.

"A new government will be presented on Thursday," the left-wing Frederiksen told reporters on Tuesday, adding that the government would be "made up of the Social Democrats, the Liberals and the Moderates," after informing Queen Margrethe of the alliance.

Frederiksen, who was tasked by the monarch to form a government in November, said the alliance would have "a lot of compromises, but above all, a lot of ambitions."

Accustomed to leading minority governments, the Social Democrats, by far the largest party with 50 seats out of the 179 in Parliament, wanted to govern beyond traditional divisions after the November 1 legislative elections.

They had to convince the right-wing Liberal Party and the Moderates who won more than 9% of votes to join the coalition.

Lars Lokke Rasmussen, the former prime minister of Denmark who founded the Moderates party, said he wanted to be "the bridge" between the left and right.

While the far-right continues to heavily influence Danish politics in recent years, three populist parties had reportedly won a meager 14.4% of votes. 

All three of the parties, namely the Danish Social democrats, center-right Liberal Party, and the Moderates, will be presenting their new government tomorrow, and on Thursday, the new government will be sworn in by the Queen.
