ISLAMABAD/COPENHAGEN: Prime minister Mette Frederiksen said Denmark would finally have a new government six weeks after inconclusive elections with a left-right alliance forged after tortuous negotiations on Wednesday.
She said that the Frederiksen left wing told reporters that the political alliance was what Denmark needed following a narrow election victory for her Social Democrats in the elections on November 1. Frederiksen said that the new govt team will be announced today, including the Social Democrats, the Moderates, and the Liberals.
Frederiksen spoke to the press after informing Queen Margrethe of the alliance. She said the newly elected government would have many compromises from the other political parties but, above all, a lot of aspirations.
