Denmark forms new coalition government
By EUobserver
Danish liberal prime minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen on Sunday agreed to form a new government with the Liberal Alliance and the Conservative Party. Rasmussen has led a one-party, minority government for the last 17 months. The three parties agreed to cut tax for the wealthy and increase defence spending, but still rely on support from the migration-hostile and EU-sceptical Danish People's Party even though it is outside government.
