Overview
- Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen asked King Frederik X to dissolve parliament and the palace accepted, setting a March 24 vote for the 179-seat Folketing.
- Two new surveys by Epinion and Megafon put the left-leaning bloc at 87–88 seats, with the right-leaning bloc at 73–77, pointing to the cross‑partisan 2022 coalition losing its majority.
- Frederiksen framed the campaign around sovereignty and security linked to U.S. pressure over Greenland, saying the dispute continues even as technical talks with Washington proceed.
- She outlined proposals including a wealth tax, retirement‑age reform and faster rearmament, with the wealth tax drawing sharp criticism in the first leaders’ debate.
- Denmark’s intelligence services warned of likely foreign interference during the campaign through disinformation and cyberattacks, citing Russia as the primary threat and noting narratives around Greenland.
