Mette Frederiksen promises clear statement on government before election

Mette Frederiksen Promises Clear Statement on Social Democrats' Post-Election Government

Socialdemocrats' leader Mette Frederiksen has promised to inform Danes which government her party will run on when the next parliamentary elections take place.

In an interview with DR's political podcast Slotsholmen, Mette Frederiksen, who is both the prime minister and the leader of the Social Democrats, said:

- We will certainly say something about what will happen after an election when we get closer to it. We are not yet close to having a parliamentary election in Denmark.

Will Social Democrats tell us which government they will run on?

- Yes, certainly, Frederiksen replied.

What will happen after an election, we will certainly say something about it when we get closer to it

Lund Hopes for a Blue Government

--------------------------

Recently, the leader of the Venstre party, Troels Lund Poulsen, expressed his hope that a blue government could form. In an article in Politiken, he and Venstre's second-in-command, Stephanie Lose, wrote:

- We are doing it now in this coalition government, but we don't say it can only be done in a coalition government.

Lund Poulsen also told Børsen that:

- Venstre is a blue party, and we are working towards a blue government. But I also notice that it has some longer prospects at the moment.

Mette Frederiksen has stated that she does not share this hope.

- I don't think that way and don't hope for it. I work for a government in Denmark that makes Denmark stronger, greener, safer, and solves the problems Danes face. And one that is also cooperative, where you can figure out how to work together.

Going for a Coalition Government

------------------------

While Venstre campaigned for a blue government in 2022, Mette Frederiksen, as prime minister, announced the formation of a single S-government, stating that she was aiming for a government that spanned the center.

Do you prefer a coalition government or a red government now?

- We will have to get much closer to an election before the Social Democrats say from our side what kind of government we hope to be a part of after an election.

The next parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2026.
