The current Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has been asked to stay at least one more year. This gives more time to Mette to prepare a potential exit from the government and Danish politics. We will know for sure in the summer of 2024.
- With the NATO Secretary General position race put on hold, Denmark turns its eyes on the race for the EIB (European Investment Bank) President position. Margrethe Vestager has openly declared her interest for the position and she is supported by the Danish government in her bid.
- If Margrethe Vestager gets the position, we will need a new EU Commissioner from Denmark. Most likely, it will be a social democrat politician. The race is between Business Minister Morten Bødskov and Development Minister Dan Jørgensen. However, rumours also point to the leader of Moderaterne, Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
