Lars Løkke Rasmussen's stance has changed: it is not important that moderates be in government.
Although Moderate Party leader Lars Løkke Rasmussen continues to appear at government negotiations with Mette Frederiksen, who is tasked with forming the Danish government, it is not crucial for the party to join the government, according to a statement by the party leader after yesterday's negotiations in Marienborg, in which he said: "After all, a government must be formed across the center. For us, it is not important to be in that government. I know that the influence can be found elsewhere.".
However, Løke Rasmussen insists that the moderates continue to declare that they are ready to enter a cross-center government.
The Moderate Party wants to reform the health sector, and Mette Frederiksen has become more open to doing so during the negotiations, Lars Løkke Rasmussen believes, stating: “Mette Frederiksen and I largely share the same analysis of the challenges in Denmark, and we have the ambition that it will last longer.”.
Just a few days ago, following Thursday's negotiations on forming a government with Mette Frederiksen, who is tasked with forming the new Danish government, the founder and leader of the Moderate Party, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, confirmed that he wanted to be in a broad government led by the Social Democrats and clearly warned against forming the new government with only the Venstre Liberal Party. He explained that the new government should be responsible for reforms and should include a larger number of parties, not just the Social Democrats and the Venstre Liberals.
It is worth noting that the negotiations entered a new phase last Wednesday when Enhedslisten and Alternativ (red parties that supported the previous government) were excluded from forming the new government, and the New Bourgeois Party (Nye Borgerlige) and the Danmarksdemokraterne (blue right-wing parties) will not join the new government.
