Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen launched a strong critique against the opposition, accusing them of lacking a clear purpose and existing in a separate reality from the government’s focus on major political issues and welfare reforms. According to analysts, the government effectively controls the political agenda due to the perceived weakness of the opposition.

The parliamentary debate also included heated exchanges regarding Israel’s offensive in Gaza. A Social Democrat’s willingness to reconsider the EU-Israel association agreement drew sharp criticism, highlighting the sensitivity of the issue and the political challenges it poses for the ruling party.

Frihedsbrevet revealed details about the Moderates party’s business club, Det Erhvervspolitiske Mødested, and its financial contributions to the party before the 2022 elections. Prominent members include Jeppe Handwerk, a friend of King Frederik, and John-Anker Hametner Larsen, with the club contributing a significant portion of the party’s funding.

Other key developments include: a former US ambassador suggesting Denmark send King Frederik to discuss matters with Donald Trump, a parliamentary vote expected to raise the retirement age to 70 by 2040, criticism of the Minister for Emergency Management by mayors concerning crisis leadership, and Prime Minister Frederiksen’s trip to Rome to meet with Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to discuss the European Court of Human Rights and the deportation of criminal foreigners.

The government is scheduled to present its proposal for a new criminal reform, and Parliament will vote on raising the retirement age.
