The Danish prime minister was forced to call early elections after her order to cull millions of mink to contain Covid-19 was found to be illegal

The election is expected to upset the political landscape in the Scandinavian nation, political analysts say. Several new parties are challenging the traditional power brokers with calls for a new centrist coalition that would break with the leftwing and rightwing blocs that have dominated for decades.
