Republican Group Formed in Denmark

The Republican Constitutional Movement has been founded in Denmark to campaign for the end of what is said to be the world’s oldest monarchy.

A recent opinion poll suggested that only 15.3% of Danes want a republic. However, 56% of respondents were in favour of revising the constitution. Some republicans see this as a sign of hope.

In a recent referendum 43% of Danes voted in favour of gender equality in the line of succession for feudal ruler.
