👧 Teenager

Social placement officials have sent a 15-year-old girl to live behind six-meter fences alongside male youth offenders. The teenager, Alma, is being housed in the high-security facility despite not being a criminal herself. The government is attempting to keep another demographic in place: the elderly. Ministers are offering seniors up to 378,000 kroner to delay retirement, a 'historic carrot' aimed at encouraging them to remain in the workforce. Separately, a new poll suggests voters are giving the current political direction a cold shoulder. Foreign ministry officials have clarified that a key portion of the Greenland deal with the United States is not yet finalized, a statement that contradicts recent assertions from Donald Trump. Meanwhile, thousands of households are being warned of more expensive district heating from 2027 due to rising energy prices, with one area seeing a 40% hike.
