The new minister of culture and church affairs is Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen. Her previous role as minister of higher education and research has been taken over by Jesper Petersen. Ane Halsboe is a close ally of prime-minister Mette Frederiksen (they align ideologically inside the party) and she has been assigned as the new minister of culture, due to the prime-minister’s interest in the future of the Danish media.
