Russia may interfere in Danish election, exploiting chaos sewn by US, spies warn

AI Summary

short article 2 min

Danish intelligence services have warned of potential foreign interference in the upcoming March 24th general election. The primary threat is believed to be Russia, potentially motivated by Denmark's support for Ukraine. However, the agencies also cited the chaos stemming from the United States' past interest in acquiring Greenland as a factor that could be exploited. They anticipate possible disinformation campaigns and cyberattacks aimed at sowing division and influencing public debate. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who called the election, highlighted Russia as a major threat and referenced former US President Trump's Greenland ambitions. Recent polls show her Social Democrat party in the lead, despite a potential decrease in support compared to the previous election.
