Although there are still two years until the next parliamentary elections (2026), right-wing forces are already preparing to challenge Mette Frederiksen. One of the main contenders is the leader of Liberal Alliance (Conservative Libertarian), Alex Vanopslagh. The party is already making internal compromises to become more palatable to the Danish electorate.
- They have renounced their previous 57 billion DKK savings plan for the public system, softening their position to 20 billion DKK specifically from the administration. They want 13,000 public administration employees to be fired.
- Further changes to their political program are expected, as the party embarks on a more mainstream center-right position.
- One of the leaders from Venstre (Liberals) is already seeing Alex as the “blue” (right) candidate for the prime minister post.
