Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called for a parliamentary election to be held on March 24. The election will determine the composition of the 179-seat Folketing for the next four years. Frederiksen, a Social Democrat who has led Denmark since 2019, is seeking to capitalize on increased public support stemming from her opposition to former US President Donald Trump's attempts to acquire Greenland. She currently leads a coalition government with the Liberal Party and the Moderates party. The election comes after public dissatisfaction over rising living costs and pressures on welfare services had previously impacted her popularity.
