Internal friction in the Venstre party has become public after Søren Gade, the Speaker of the Folketing, responded to a critical portrait by alleging a 'character assassination' from within. Social Democrat coalition partners are reportedly using closed rooms to wonder if their allies have a future; columnists are already calling the crisis monumental.
The government's first real pressure test arrives as other institutions face their own scrutiny. The state railway, DSB, is defending a billion-kroner cost overrun on its next generation of trains, while the transition away from gas boilers has slowed as households struggle with the bills. Elsewhere, Roskilde University is being accused of a 'witch hunt' by a fired professor, a claim some editorial boards find uncomfortably plausible.
The day's smaller shifts include a name change for the ubiquitous MobilePay app and reports of new leadership struggles inside the Hells Angels. In the courts, a 37-year-old man faces attempted murder charges following a house explosion, and police are withholding details on a separate shooting where the suspect and victim were known to each other.
