    Danish Red-Green Alliance supports budget cuts

    In November the Danish centre-left government passed a budget for 2013 that seamlessly pursues the same austerity measures as its conservative predecessor. This reactionary budget was supported by the Red Green Alliance (RGA—in Danish, Enhedslisten, literally The Unity List ), an amalgam of pseudo-left groups.

    Since October 2011, Denmark has been governed by a coalition of the Social Democrats, Socialist Peoples Party (SF) and the Danish Social Liberal Party under Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. The government does not have a parliamentary majority and thus relies on the support of the right-wing opposition or the Red-Green Alliance.
