The government presents its economic 2035 plan: *"An obituary for the welfare state."*

The government today presented its economic 2035 plan in the Ministry of Finance. It’s almost like a farewell letter from the SVM government, if you ask political commentator Lars Trier Mogensen.

“This is like a farewell letter, if you want to be a bit dramatic—almost an obituary. At least a declaration of separation. The three parties have reached the end of the road and can no longer make their positions align.”

Since the formation of the government in 2022, it has cultivated a narrative of boldness. But with the new proposal, it seems the government is opting for a safer course ahead of the parliamentary election, says Trier Mogensen.

“Now they’ve bundled together some of the expenses for the coming year that everyone agrees on. That’s the military buildup and the changing demographics. There’s really no disagreement about those two things on Christiansborg.”

With this plan, the government outlines its financing strategy up to 2035, prioritizing defense, security, climate, and efforts to combat rising food prices. Still, Lars Trier sees the economic plan as a farewell from the SVM government.

“I see it as a farewell letter because the proposal fails to agree on new reforms or new ways to raise funds. It’s an agreement that shows they’ve reached this point and not much further.”
