Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen dropped a political bombshell on Constitution Day, according to political analysts, by announcing her openness to the idea of forming a multi-party government, including the Blue Bloc (opposition) parties, after the upcoming parliamentary elections, which are supposed to take place before June 3, 2023 at the latest.
Several political parties have already begun discussing the upcoming elections in their statements to the media and in their social media posts, which suggests that the parties have already started preparing for their election campaigns. Denmark is also witnessing political speeches throughout the day today on the occasion of Constitution Day.
The element of surprise in Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s statement about a multi-party government, including opposition parties, comes from the fact that she formed what is called a one-party government when her Social Democratic Party won the parliamentary elections three years ago. Frederiksen limited the distribution of ministerial portfolios to members of the same party. In 2019, when then-Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen proposed – before the parliamentary elections – the formation of a multi-party government, Mette Frederiksen categorically rejected the idea and was interested in a one-party government, which she got.
واختلف استقبال الأحزاب البرلمانية لتصريحات فريدريكسن بين مرحب وخلاف ذلك، فعلى سبيل المثال علق رئيس أكبر أحزاب المعارضة الحزب الليبرالي الفنستره ياكوب إيلمان ينسن بالقول هذا الصباح إن الرسالة مثيرة للاهتمام، لكنه “لا يعتقد أن ميته فريدريكسن تعني ذلك”، وأضاف بأنها إذا كانت تريد تعاوناً واسعاً فلتقم بإظهاره.
كما علق سورين باب بولسن زعيم حزب المحافظين (اليميني) برسالة واضحة وهي “شكراً لك، ولكن لا، شكراً”، وكرر بولسن ادعاء الحزب الليبرالي بالتلميح حول علاقة هذه الدعوة بقضية المنك -التي تتناول مدى قانونية اتخاذ ميته فريدريكسن لقرار قتل جميع حيوانات المنك في الدنمارك خلال أزمة كورونا-، حيث من المتوقع أن تقوم لجنة المنك بتقديم تقريرها في وقت لاحق من هذا الشهر، كما وصف ذلك “بالذكاء” عندما تأتي بالإعلان الذي أصدرته اليوم.
Among the supporters and enthusiasts of Frederiksen's declaration are the pro-government Radical Party, whose leader, Sophie Carsten Nielsen, indicated that they in the Radical Party had requested this themselves since November.
