Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's hardline immigration policies have kept the anti-immigration Danish People's Party relatively small at around 7.5% support ahead of Tuesday's election, but analysts say her approach has mainstreamed far-right rhetoric across the political spectrum. Critics argue that by adopting nationalist positions on immigration, Frederiksen's Social Democrats have shifted Denmark's overall political discourse rightward rather than defeating far-right ideology.
