Danish Parliament

The Danish Parliament, known as the Folketing, is the supreme legislative body in Denmark. Located in Christiansborg Palace on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, it plays a crucial role in shaping Danish law and policy. Comprising 179 members, the Parliament is elected every four years through a proportional representation system. The Danish Parliament is responsible for passing laws, adopting budgets, and approving the government's actions. It also plays a significant role in European Union affairs, given Denmark’s membership in the EU. The Folketing is a key institution in ensuring democratic governance and accountability in Denmark.
