Denmark’s legislative elections delivered a complicated verdict on March 24. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats finished first but in a weakened position, while the far right posted strong gains, according to Le Monde’s reporting from ballot-counting in Aarhus.
The result fits a broader European pattern of established center-left parties clinging to power while nationalist movements gain ground. The composition of the next Danish government — and the concessions Frederiksen may need to make to form a coalition — will be closely watched across the continent.
