The government will hold a press conference on Wednesday at 12:30 about "the upcoming political season". The Prime Minister's Office writes this in a press release.
The press conference will be attended by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S), Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen (V) and Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen (M). The press conference will be held in the Mirror Hall in the Prime Minister's Office.
According to a number of Danish media outlets, the government will also unveil several new ministries at the press conference, which will be established as part of an expected ministerial reshuffle this week.
DR and Berlingske write on Wednesday morning that there will be three new ministries. This means that there must be a European Minister, a Minister for Emergency Situations and a new Green Minister who will be responsible for implementing the green tripartite.
Minister names only tomorrow
According to both media, the actual ministerial reshuffle with the names of the new ministers will not be announced at the press conference on Wednesday.
DR further writes that it is also expected that Denmark's next EU Commissioner will be presented on Wednesday. There is a deadline for the appointment on Friday.
Both researchers and political observers have pointed to the Social Democrat Dan Jørgensen as the obvious choice for a new Danish EU Commissioner. He is currently Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy.
It will therefore be natural for a ministerial reshuffle if Dan Jørgensen is going to Brussels to replace Margrethe Vestager.
