in Copenhagen

Good morning from Copenhagen where I have just bumped into Pelle Dragsted, the leader of Enhedslisten – the Red-Green Alliance – high-fiving and waving at passing commuters on bicycles. The recently elected Copenhagen Lord Mayor, Sisse Marie Welling, from the SF party also just cycled by.

After a short but intense election period, Denmark goes to the polls today in what is expected to be a very tight election.
