The Danish government has largely delivered on its promised reforms, including sound finances, tax cuts, and a responsible foreign and security policy. It has also recognized that Denmark’s future is intertwined with Europe.

While there are some concerns, like university reforms that have reduced business-relevant educations, the government has generally been successful. The focus is now shifting towards Denmark’s relationship with the European Union.

The government is contemplating a more active role in the EU, moving from being a “passive spectator” to a more influential participant. This consideration is fueled by the possibility of Denmark holding a successful EU presidency this autumn, which could then lead to a broader discussion about abandoning the country’s euro and legal reservations and more fully embrace its European future.
