The Danish Social Democrats, led by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, propose a wealth tax targeting the richest citizens to reduce inequality ahead of the upcoming election, facing criticism for being populist.
As Denmark heads toward its upcoming election, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and the Social Democrats have announced plans to implement a wealth tax aimed at the country's richest citizens. This proposal is presented as a measure to address inequality, and Frederiksen emphasized that it would primarily affect less than one percent of taxable citizens, generating over six billion kroner in revenue. The government believes this tax could contribute to a more balanced society by redistributing wealth.
