The former Danish Prime Minister Rasmussen returns to the Government at the head of Foreign Affairs

MADRID, 15 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Former Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen will serve as foreign minister in the new tripartite coalition led by Social Democrat Mette Frederiksen, according to the official cabinet list published on Thursday.

Rasmussen, leader of the Moderates and who has led the Government in two different terms, returns to the Executive as a key support for Frederiksen. The coalition also includes the liberal Venstre party, led by Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, who will take over defense and act as deputy prime minister.

The Social Democrats will have eleven portfolios, compared to seven for liberals and five for moderates. By gender, it will continue to be an Executive made up mainly of men, since only eight of its members are women, according to local media.

Until now, Frederiksen headed a minority government formed solely by his party, but together with his partners he will have a solid parliamentary majority in the Parliament formed after the legislative elections on November 1.
