The “red” parties have won the Danish parliamentary elections, by obtaining 90 out of the 179 seats in the Folketinget. It was a very close election decided by a few hundred votes and by the so-called North Atlantic seats (the 2 seats from Greenland and 2 from the Faroe Islands). Despite being able to continue as a prime minister, Mette Frederiksen is in favor of a new government with Lars Løkke’s Moderaterne, Venstre and Radikale Venstre. A center government with both red and blue parties.
- The attempt to build a center government with red and blue parties has been tried only once in history. In 1978 it survived for 1 year and 57 days.
- The Queen has appointed Mette Frederiksen as a royal negotiator to try to form a government. Predictions say that it can take up to two weeks before we can see a new government.
- On Friday, all the party leaders were invited for negotiations with Mette Frederiksen. Inger Støjberg already announced that her party will not be invited again for negotiations. Pernille Vermund said that Nye Borgerlige had to reschedule the meeting.
