After many long weeks of negotiations, Social Democratic Party leader Mette Frederiksen announced on Monday evening that a new Social Democratic-led government had been agreed upon.
The parties that will be included will be officially presented on Tuesday afternoon, but Alternativet has already confirmed the plan to the Ritzau news agency. The government will include the Social Democrats, Alternativet, the Moderates and the Radicals.
The four parties together have 82 seats, which is not enough for a majority since the Folketing has 179 seats. Now Alternativet and the Unity List, with 11 and 5 seats respectively, have agreed to act as supporting parties.
And they are quick to make promises of major reforms. Pelle Dragsted from the Unity List told Danish media that food VAT should be halved.
Denmark will become a country with zero VAT on fruit and vegetables.
He also said that public transport would be free for everyone up to the age of 22.
How this will be financed is not immediately clear.
