⚠️ Threats

The Venstre party’s current trajectory is being described by analysts as a road through hell. A town council member has resigned after receiving threats and calls to commit suicide, while party leader Troels Lund is increasingly described as having lost control of his own ranks. The government bypasses parliament where it can and retreats where it must. Ministers introduced a ban on pigs without seeking a legislative vote, prompting a legal challenge, while simultaneously easing rules on a controversial feed additive because cows were falling ill. Success in the transition to electric vehicles has proven more expensive than the state anticipated, leading to a proposal to tax family-sized electric cars. Elsewhere, a major study of public schools found several classrooms are now reporting monthly incidents of student violence.
