COPENHAGEN - Denmark holds a parliamentary election on Wednesday that could deliver the Nordic region’s third leftist government in a year as voters rebel against austerity they fear could dismantle their cherished welfare model.
The Nordic model has been the gold standard for welfare for many left-leaning politicians and activists globally. But ageing populations have prompted governments across the region to chip away at the magnanimous cradle-to-grave welfare state. “It’s obvious we need to start spending again,” Frederiksen told Reuters in an interview last week while campaigning.
In neighboring Sweden last year, the Social Democrats suffered their worst election result in more than a century but managed to cling to power after embracing policies more typical of the right, including tax cuts and labor market reforms.
