The new government says it will scrap a public holiday observed since the 17th Century.
Jakob Ellemann-Jensen of the Liberal Party, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of the Social Democrats and Lars Lokke Rasmussen of the ModeratesDenmark's new coalition government is set to scrap a bank holiday to boost defence spending.
After last month's vote, Ms Frederiksen handed in her government's resignation to Queen Margrethe despite her party winning the most votes, as she said she wanted to form a broader coalition. Former prime minister and Moderates leader Lars Lokke Rasmussen has been appointed foreign minister and Liberal leader Jakob Ellemann-Jensen becomes deputy prime minister and defence minister.
The axe is likely to fall on Store Bededag , which falls every year on the Friday before the fourth Sunday after Easter and was introduced as a public holiday in 1686.
