Denmark’s new minority government takes shape after 70 days of talks

After 70 days of negotiations, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has secured a coalition agreement between her Social Democrats, the Socialist People’s Party (SF), the Danish Social Liberal Party, and the Moderates, Danish public broadcaster DR reports.

The four parties collectively hold 82 of the 179 seats in parliament, leaving the government dependent on support from opposition parties to pass legislation. The arrangement, known as a minority government, will require case-by-case backing from other factions to function.
