"Mette Frederiksen's Social Democratic Party had its worst election since 1903 on Tuesday, winning just 38 seats in the 179-seat parliament down from 50 four years ago amid voter concerns over immigration, a cost-of-living crisis and welfare."
"The left-wing bloc won 84 seats in parliament, versus 77 for the right-leaning parties, with both sides falling short of the 90 needed for a majority."
"The Social Democrats remains Denmark's biggest party, however, with 21.9 percent support, meaning Frederiksen could return for a third term as prime minister following coalition talks."
"Frederiksen warned in January that a US takeover of Greenland would amount to the end of NATO."
Mette Frederiksen submitted her resignation after her coalition faced a significant defeat in the general election, winning only 38 seats. The Social Democratic Party experienced its worst election since 1903. The left-wing bloc secured 84 seats, while right-leaning parties obtained 77, both lacking a majority. The Moderates Party holds 14 seats and may influence coalition talks. Despite the loss, Frederiksen's party remains the largest, with 21.9 percent support, allowing for the possibility of her returning as prime minister after negotiations.
