For more than a month now, the second-most powerful man in Denmark, Jakob Ellemann Jensen, has been on sick leave. He claims that he will return to his position at some point. However, until then, the government decided to reshuffle some positions. The former minister of economy, Troels Lund Poulsen, will take over as the minister of defense, and his position will be taken over by Stephanie Lose, the president of the South Denmark Region.
- Stephanie Lose is the vice-president of Venstre (Liberals) and her late entrance into the government could be seen as preparation in case Jakob doesn’t return from sick leave, to crown her as the new leader of the liberals.
