Political Overview – Week 6

-

The government declared war on screens in schools. They want teachers and students to use them less and go back to classic pen and paper. In fact, they sent 12 recommendations to schools around the country, including going completely mobile-free. 

Commercial surrogacy is illegal in Denmark, which means couples seeking a woman to carry their child must go abroad. However, that creates a legal nightmare regarding child registration. Now a majority in the Parliament wants to make it easier

Young people have the right to free dental care until they are 22 years old. Unfortunately, when they extended the right from 18 to 22 years old, the Parliament didn’t consider if there would be enough public dentists to cover the need. Now, the waiting lists are reigning supreme

If you receive housing benefits (boligstøtte), then you can look forward to one month of zero rent this summer. This is part of a delayed inflation aid program that was supposed to be implemented last year. 

Who will challenge Mette Frederiksen for the prime minister seat in 2026? The former blue block parties are investing their hope (albeit quietly at the moment) in Alex Vanopslagh (leader of Liberal Alliance and king of TikTok). He is already trying to reunite the blue block through constant meetings with the leaders of the other former blue parties, including recruiting Pernille Vermund from Nye Borgerlige and inviting Radikale Venstre (Social Liberals) into the blue block. The opinion polls (15% for Liberal Alliance) give him legitimacy to do so.
