Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen submitted her government's resignation to the King, following her coalition's defeat in the parliamentary elections.
This decision opens a period of political uncertainty, as the various parties prepare to begin negotiations to form a new majority.
Despite this setback, the social-democratic leader could try to stay in power if she manages to form a viable coalition, but other party leaders could also claim leadership of the next government.
The discussions are expected to be complex and potentially lengthy, in a fragmented political landscape where no bloc has a clear majority.
This resignation marks a key step after a difficult election for Frederiksen, whose leadership had already been weakened by economic and social issues.
It illustrates the political realignments underway in Denmark, in a context marked by debates on the cost of living, immigration and international relations.
The outcome of the negotiations will determine whether Mette Frederiksen can remain in power or whether a new political transition is necessary in the country.
