Danish PM bets beer on continuing her role

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen confidently wagers a beer that she will still be the prime minister after the summer, dismissing rumors linking her to a top EU job. Addressing media speculation, Frederiksen, a Social Democrat implied to be favored for the EU President role, clarifies her commitment to Denmark. The selection process for the EU’s key positions will start post-EU parliamentary elections in June where the president acts as the meeting chair for member states. Denmark’s robust support for Ukraine has garnered European attention, potentially benefiting Frederiksen’s candidacy. However, the PM emphasizes her intent to remain in office as long as voters choose, hinting at participation in the next parliamentary election. Last spring, she was rumored for the NATO Secretary-General post, but now, the Netherlands’ Prime Minister Mark Rutte leads for NATO.
