Denmark’s deputy prime minister and economy minister is leaving politics altogether
Denmark’s deputy prime minister and economy minister announced Monday he was leaving politics and stepping down as head of the center-right Liberal Party to spend more time with his family. The Liberals, however, are staying on in the three-party governing coalition, which has been in office since December 2022. For now, Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen would take over Ellemann-Jensen’s posts and take on the roles of deputy prime minister and economy minister.
Senior party member Stephanie Lose will assume the party leadership until a party convention next month. On Aug. 22, a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had thanked Danish lawmakers for providing Kyiv with F-16 warplanes, Ellemann-Jensen swapped posts with Lund Poulsen. Ellemann-Jensen became economy minister while Lund Poulsen became defense minister. During Ellemann-Jensen's sick leave, Lund Poulsen had acted as defense minister.
