128 | Housing, Schools, and Jobs: Meet the Candidates Eager to Take on Copenhagen's Biggest Issues — What Are You Doing in Denmark?

This is our final episode talking to candidates for the 2025 local and regional council elections. This week, Derek sits down with Asbjørn Reissman from Social Democrats, Heidi Wang from Venstre, and Joanne Bywater from Liberal Alliance to discuss the biggest issues in Copenhagen's local elections.

From schooling to housing prices, the candidates share their opinions and debate the issues, finding some common ground solutions in the process. You'll hear what's most important to the candidates, their parties, and why you should take an interest in this important election.

60% of government decisions are decided at the local level in Denmark and you probably have the right to vote on who makes them. You can vote in the municipal and regional elections if you are a Danish citizen, a citizen of an EU country, a UK or Nordic citizen OR if you are from elsewhere but have lived in Denmark for 4+ years.

Don't miss your chance to participate in democracy and vote in these Danish elections.
