COPENHAGEN - Denmark will hold a parliamentary election on June 5, Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Tuesday, starting a campaign likely to focus on cracks in the Nordic country’s cherished welfare model.
Support for the center-left bloc stands at 54.8 percent, according to an average of polls published by Berlingske Barometer.The two blocs have mainly been at odds over welfare spending, as changing demographics put pressure on a cradle-to-grave welfare system that includes universal healthcare, education and services for the elderly.
The Social Democratic Party has pledged to increase public spending and partially roll back recent pension reforms by allowing people who have worked 40 years to retire earlier.
