ALDE Party member Venstre announced a minor reshuffle of their Ministers in the Danish government cabinet, following the election of new party leadership earlier this month. 

Party chair Troels Lund Poulsen retains the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence portfolio, while new deputy party chair Stephanie Lose has been appointed Minister for Economic Affairs. 

Morten Dahlin, a Member of the Folketing for Venstre since 2019, becomes Minister for Cities and Rural Districts, Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Minister for Nordic Cooperation. 

Finally, Danish entrepreneur Mia Wagner has been appointed Minister for Digitalisation and Minister for Gender Equality.  

“I am convinced that we have put together a powerful team, and I look forward to the Parliamentary Group and the ministers fighting together for the liberals and for our political priorities,” said Lund Poulsen. 

The party formalised the new leadership and the full electoral list for the European elections at a party Congress on 17-18 November. 

Led by Morten Løkkegaard MEP, Vice-President of Renew Europe, the list also includes Asger Christensen MEP, as well as former MP and Minister Ulla Tørnæs. 

Stort tillykke til @MortenDahlin, @stephanie_lose og @MiaWagner med deres nye ministertitler.

Tak for den store indsats til @LouiseElholm og @marie_bjerre. pic.twitter.com/Rvi2VOC6wa
