History
Legislature term2022–2026[a]
PredecessorFrederiksen I

The Frederiksen II Cabinet, colloquially known as the SVM government (Danish: SVM-regeringen), is the government of Denmark that took office on 15 December 2022. It succeeded the Frederiksen I Cabinet following the 2022 Danish general election. It is the first time in more than 40 years the Social Democrats and Venstre , who are usually rivals, are in a government together.[1]

Headed by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, it is a centrist government,[2] consisting of the Social Democrats, Venstre, and the Moderates. It was announced on 13 December following a record 42 days of negotiations.[3][4] The government is supported by the Union Party and the Social Democratic Party from the Faroe Islands, as well as Naleraq and Inuit Ataqatigiit from Greenland.[5] As the government has 90 of the 179 seats in the Folketing with its support parties, it effectively operates as a majority government.[6]
