The government wants to increase the yearly funding for the Royal House from 126.5 million DKK to 143.8 million DKK – an increase of over 17 million DKK. Alternativet (Green Party) is against the proposal, as it considers the money could be spent better elsewhere.

Stine Bosse vs. Mette Frederiksen. The lead candidate from Moderaterne (Social Liberals) proposed a new referendum on Denmark’s opt-out in the area of freedom, security, and justice in the European Union. The idea was quickly rejected by the Prime Minister, as a 2015 referendum had already refused the opt-out.
According to the Prime Minister, “Basically, we have to want to go to work. But I want to oppose that atmosphere that it should all be fun and lighthearted, because I simply don’t believe that our lives are like that. Sometimes life is also hard.”
