In a stunning turn of events, Denmark's right-leaning politician Søren Pape Poulsen has been tasked with forming a new government after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democratic Party failed to secure a majority in the country's general election. Poulsen, the leader of the Liberal Alliance party, will now attempt to assemble a coalition of right-wing and center parties in an effort to stabilize Denmark's fragile politics. The move comes as a surprise to many, given Poulsen's relatively small party's limited influence in the parliament. As Poulsen takes on this high-stakes challenge, he will need to navigate a complex web of alliances and negotiations to secure the support of other parties and form a viable government.
