COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Danes have voted in a parliamentary election Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was forced to call amid the fallout from her government’s contentious decision to cull millions of minks as a pandemic response measure. An exit poll by broadcaster TV2 showed the center-left bloc led by Frederiksen’s Social Democrats would not get enough votes Tuesday for a majority in Parliament, but neither would the center-right opposition. The exit poll, carried out by the Megafon research institute for TV2, suggested the new Moderates party led by former Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen would hold the balance of power.
