Federico X

Federico X is the King of Denmark. He is newsworthy because, following recent legislative elections, he has formally tasked the outgoing Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, with forming a new government. The elections resulted in a victory for the left-leaning parties, but without a majority, making the centrist 'Los Moderados' party potential kingmakers. Frederiksen's Social Democrats won the election, albeit with their worst result since 1903 according to exit polls, experiencing a significant drop in support. She now faces difficult negotiations with other parties to secure a coalition and potentially remain in office for a third term. King Federico X's role is significant as he initiates the government formation process after the elections.
