No Danish government yet - negotiations paused

Nearly eight weeks after the Danish election, there is still no new government in sight. On Sunday, Troels Lund Poulsen of Venstre, the designated exploratory leader, announced that negotiations are on hold.

"All the parties have different wishes and we want to use Monday to consider a number of political proposals before we move forward with the negotiations," Lund Poulsen writes in a post on Instagram.

The Venstre leader was appointed last week as the new prime minister by King Frederik X after the country's outgoing Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen failed to form a new government in just over a month.

It is unclear when negotiations might resume.

The protracted government formation process after the election on March 24 has taken a record-long time.
