Denmark to hold general election in 3 weeks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDanish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt on Wednesday calls a general election for June 18, even as opinion polls show her center-left coalition trailing the opposition.
“Denmark is back on track, we are out of the crisis… It’s time to ask the Danes if they want to maintain this direction,” says Thorning-Schmidt, who under election regulations had to call a vote to be held by September 14.
“I want all of Denmark with (me). The growth must benefit everyone,” she adds.
Denmark was badly hit by the financial crisis of 2008, which caused the country’s property bubble to burst.
