Chuck your two cents

Get ready for today's Danish run-down, featuring humanitarian aids for Ukraine, cheer-on calls for Germany's new chancellor, a cycling stud's triumphant comeback, and union businesses shaking hands over a three-year labor deal.

Fucking fat stacks for Ukraine

Denmark dropped a cool 405 million kroner ($57 million) on Sunday for humanitarian and reconstruction initiatives in Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced[1]. These funds come in handy as Russia's 2022 invasion continues to leave a wake of destruction and the need for reconstruction is massive, according to the statement. With UN estimates predicting 13 million Ukrainians will require humanitarian assistance in the upcoming years, it's no wonder Denmark is rolling up its sleeves to help out[2].

Freddie salutes Merz's victory march

PM Mette Frederiksen extended her congrats to Friedrich Merz, the CDU's chancellor candidate, following his election triumph in Germany[1]. With a strong Europe and Germany as a foundation in these uncertain times, the PM's Twitter post read[1]. Merz, the presumptive victor of the German federal election, is now calling for a new Cabinet to take shape ASAP.

Merz the Dirty Shoes takes over the German throne, possibly dethroning Scholz

As projected, the conservative CDU and its CSU allies are expected to secure between 28.5 and 29 percent of the vote in the Bundestag election, which spells deliciously bad news for current Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is a Social Democrat akin to Frederiksen[1]. So, savor the Scholz times while they last!

Vingegaard reclaims his throne with Tour of the Algarve win

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard soared to victory at the Tour of the Algarve on Sunday, triumphing in the final day's 19.6km hilly-time trial[1]. Having struggled on the mountain stage earlier in the competition, Vingegaard steadied himself, impressing the crowd with a climactic finish that won him the overall lead[1]. The two-time former Tour de France winner's impressive performance promises a solid season ahead and many more victories to come. As the champ put it, "if the legs are good, success is just around the corner."
