MADRID, 4 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, has opened the parliamentary course on Tuesday without announcing the call for early elections, despite the fact that the Government risks a motion of censure due to an ultimatum imposed by its own partners.
Frederiksen, who heads a minority Executive, had until this Tuesday to announce the electoral advance, eight months before the current legislature technically expires. The partners have granted him one more day, with Thursday as the potential date for the announcement of the motion of censure, reports the Bloomberg agency.
The pressure on the cabinet increased as a result of legal irregularities being confirmed in the massive slaughter of 17 million mink to prevent possible coronavirus infections. The Social Democrats, in fact, have fallen in the polls, which place the Liberals and Conservatives on the rise.
Frederiksen has delivered a speech before Parliament in which, although he has not confirmed the elections, he has slipped some pending remains and allusions to the international context, with special emphasis on the war in Ukraine and the recent sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, local media report.
“The government that assumes responsibility after the elections does not matter. It will have to make difficult decisions,” said the prime minister, who alluded to security within a battery of challenges that also include the economic crisis or climate change.
