    Opposition Wins Denmark Elections, Starts to Form Government

    June 20, 2015

    Copenhague: The center-right opposition coalition won elections in Denmark with 52.3 percent of the votes, starting today negotiations to form a government in which the Liberal and Popular Party will play a leading role.

    After the polls held yesterday, the official center-left forces, led by Social Democrat Helle Thorning-Schmidt (47.7 percent) who already resigned to her post of Prime Minister, held since 2011, as well as leader of her Party.

     

    According to the local media, all seems to indicate that the leader of the liberals, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, will repeat as head of government for the next period a responsibility he already had from 2009 to 2011.

     

    If Liberals barely obtained 19.5 percent of the votes and fell seven points compared to the previous elections, the conservatives obtained a victory thanks to the advances of its partner, the euroskeptic and xenophobic DF that went up almost 10 points and achieved 21.1 percent.


    The populars are described as the main winners of elections, despite which the top figure, IKristian Thulesen Dahl, said not to be aspiring to the Prime Minister post and left the way free to Rasmussen.

     

    Although the center-left group lost the government, social democrats were the most voted in the elections, with 26.3 percent and an increase of 1.5 points.

     

    According to the Electoral authority, participation was 85.8 percent of the registered voters and fell by two percent to the 2011 election
