Denmark’s 2025 local and regional elections delivered anything but the usual political calm. Historic strongholds flipped, long-dominant parties stumbled, and unexpected winners surged—reshaping the political map just months before a likely national election.

In this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Derek Hartman and Mike Walsh break down the biggest surprises from election night with the help of a special guest: Bernardo Basilici Menini, editor-in-chief of The Copenhagen Post. Bernardo has been following the campaigns, the numbers, and the fallout and he joins us to explain what the results really mean.
