 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2022) |
The year was dominated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Denmark took in Ukrainian refugees fleeing the invasion of their country. Danish government sent foreign aid to Ukraine, and condemned and sanctioned Russia for waging the war.
As the rest of Europe and in the world, Denmark continued to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and Deltacron hybrid variant, but much less so than in January 2020 and February 2022. The 2021–2023 inflation surge led to increased prices on many goods. 2022 Danish general election took place on 1 November.

- 26–29 September – A series of gas leaks happen at the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Bornholm. Prime minister Mette Frederiksen says that explosions were recorded at both pipelines prior to the leaks, and that Danish authorities suspect sabotage, but wouldn't speculate on who were responsible.[21][22] The Copenhagen Police (da) opens an investigation of the gas leaks, in collaboration with the National Police, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET), and others.[23] The Danish Defence Command sends the frigate Absalon and several other vessels to the area.[24]
- 28 September – Queen Margrethe II announces changes to the titles of the descendants of her younger son prince Joachim. Effective from 1 January 2023, Joachim's children will no longer be allowed to call themselves prince or princess, but they remain in the line of succession. They will retain the title count or countess of Monpezat, given to both the queen's sons and all of their patrilineal descendants in 2008. Queen Margrethe justified the change for her grandchildren, who range in age from 10 to 23, as allowing them to "shape their own lives to a much greater extent without being limited by [royal duties]".[25]
- 29 September
- The day after queen Margrethe announced that the children of her son prince Joachim would lose their titles of prince or princess from the new year, Joachim speaks to tabloids B.T. and Ekstra Bladet. He says that he and his immediate family are dismayed, and that his children have had their identity taken from them. According to the prince, the queen shared a plan with him on 5 May under which the children would have lost their titles only when each of them turned 25. Under such a plan, youngest child Athena, age 10, would not have lost her title until 2037.[26][27]

- 4 October – The opening of the Folketing (da) takes place, marking the beginning of a new legislative session. Prime minister Mette Frederiksen speaks of the difficulties Denmark face in connection with the energy crisis, the war in Ukraine, and economic hardship. However, she opens her speech with thanks to veteran lawmakers Marianne Jelved (RV), Henrik Dam Kristensen (S), and Bertel Haarder (V), sharing anecdotes about their lives and praising their record of service. The three are all retiring at the next election, and have over 100 years of combined service in the Folketing.[30][31]
- 5 October
- 2022 Danish general election: Prime minister Mette Frederiksen calls a general election scheduled for 1 November 2022, thus avoiding a vote of no confidence.[32]
- Nobel Prizes: Morten P. Meldal, professor of chemistry at the University of Copenhagen, shares the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with two colleagues.[33] The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences gives them the award "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry".[34]
- 10 October – 2022 Danish general election: At the request of the prime minister of the Faroe Islands Bárður á Steig Nielsen, the Folketing approves a change to the election date in the Faroe Islands by a wide margin. The election is moved to 31 October, a day earlier than in Denmark proper and Greenland, as the previously chosen election day is a Faroese day of mourning for those who have died at sea.[35][36]
- 31 October – 2022 Danish general election: The Faroe Islands vote. The Union Party and the Faroese Social Democrats, who previously held a seat each, retain their seats. For the Union Party, Edmund Joensen is replaced by his granddaughter Anna Falkenberg, who becomes only the second Faroese woman ever elected to the Folketing. For the Social Democrats, Sjúrður Skaale is reelected.[37]
November
- 1 November – The 2022 Danish general election takes place (excluding the Faroe Islands). The left-wing red bloc wins a narrow majority, taking 90 seats, while the right-wing blue bloc wins 73 seats, and the centrist Moderates win 16 seats. Two new parties, the Moderates and the right-wing populist Denmark Democrats, enter the Folketing, increasing the number of parliamentary parties to 12.[38]
- The Social Democrats get 50 seats, their best result since 2001 and more than twice the size of the next biggest party. The Socialist People's Party (SF) and The Alternative make minor gains, getting 15 and 6 seats respectively. The Social Liberals lose over half their seats, going from 16 to 7. The Red-Green Alliance also loses some support, getting 9 seats.
- Venstre gets 23 seats, their worst result since 1988. The aforementioned Moderates and the Denmark Democrats, who both broke away from Venstre, get 16 and 14 seats respectively, some of the best showings ever for new parties. The Liberal Alliance (LA) gets 14 seats, their best result ever. The Danish People's Party (DF) goes from 16 to 5 seats, their worst result ever. The Conservatives drop to 10 seats, while the New Right rise to 6 seats.
- In Greenland, Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam of Siumut and Aaja Chemnitz Larsen of Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) are both reelected. Their wins prove decisive, as both support the red bloc, giving prime minister Mette Frederiksen the option to form a left-wing government in addition to a broad government across the middle of the aisle.[39]
- 2 November
- A day after the 2022 Danish general election, Social Liberal leader Sofie Carsten Nielsen announces she is stepping down as party leader.[40]
- As is tradition after an election, the party leaders take part in the "queen's round" (Danish: dronningerunde) where they, one at a time, have an audience with the queen. Prime minister Mette Frederiksen hands in her resignation to the queen (with the previous government continuing as a caretaker government), and is charged with forming a new government. She has previously said that she wants to form a broad government across the middle of the Folketing, but due to the narrow majority for the red bloc she can also choose a purely red government.[41]
- 16 November – Søren Gade (V) is elected speaker of the Folketing, and four deputy speakers are elected. He replaces Henrik Dam Kristensen (S), who retired from the Folketing at the election two weeks before. As the largest parties besides the speaker's party, the Social Democrats, Moderates, and Socialist People's Party get to pick first deputy speaker Leif Lahn Jensen, second deputy speaker Jeppe Søe, and third deputy speaker Karsten Hønge respectively. With the Denmark Democrats and Liberal Alliance tied for next-largest party, Gade has to draw lots for which of them gets to select the fourth deputy speaker, with Karina Adsbøl of the Denmark Democrats winning.[42][43] Gade had been temporarily elected speaker the day before.[44]
- 21 November – 2022 FIFA World Cup: In a joint statement with six other associations, the Danish Football Association (DBU) announces that players will not wear OneLove rainbow armbands at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The decision comes after FIFA announces that the captains of any team wearing the band will receive a yellow card. Several qualifying teams had planned to wear the OneLove armband, which is part of an anti-discrimination campaign, in protest against the poor state of LGBT rights in Qatar.[45]
- 22 November – 2022 FIFA World Cup: A day after the OneLove armband decision, Helle Thorning-Schmidt attends the Denmark vs Tunisia match wearing a blue dress with rainbows on the sleeves. Thorning-Schmidt, who was prime minister of Denmark from 2011 to 2015, is in Qatar in her capacity as head of the DBU's Governance and Development Committee (Danish: Governance- og Udviklingskomite). Many fans and journalists were refused entry to the stadium for wearing rainbow-colored clothing.[46]
December
- 13 December – After 41 days of negotiations to form a government, the longest in Danish history,[47] acting prime minister Mette Frederiksen informs queen Margrethe II that she has reached an agreement to form a new government. It consists of Frederiksen's own Social Democrats, as well as Venstre and the Moderates. This constellation is unusual, as Danish politics is divided into a Social Democrats-led red bloc and a Venstre-led blue bloc, with either bloc typically having a majority and forming a government. A government including both major parties has been tried only once before in the post-war era, after the 1979 election. Another unusual feature is that it is a majority government, unlike most Danish governments who have relied on supporting parties to garner a majority.[nb 1] Hopeful of working with other parties despite having a majority already, Frederiksen promises to "search for ... broader majorities than the one we are presenting".[48][49]
- 14 December – A day after they announced the formation of a new government, prime minister Mette Frederiksen (S) and fellow party leaders Jakob Ellemann-Jensen (V) and Lars Løkke Rasmussen (M) present the coalition agreement laying out their policies. Among other things, the government plans to abolish Great Prayer Day (Danish: Store Bededag) as a holiday to increase productivity, increase military spending, merge the "Arne pension" (da) with other early pension schemes, abolish the municipal job centers (part of wider reforms to public employment services), reduce the high-earners income tax (Danish: topskat), and commit to carbon neutrality by 2045.[50][51][52][53]
- 15 December – Prime minister Mette Frederiksen presents her new government at Amalienborg. There are 23 ministers, of which 11 are from the Social Democrats, seven are from Venstre, and five are from the Moderates. For the Social Democrats, finance minister Nicolai Wammen and tax minister Jeppe Bruus retain their posts, while Peter Hummelgaard becomes justice minister. Venstre leader Jakob Ellemann-Jensen becomes deputy prime minister and defense minister, while his party also secures the posts of economy minister (Troels Lund Poulsen), and interior minister and health minister (both Sophie Løhde). Moderates leader and former prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen becomes foreign minister.[54][55]
