COPENHAGEN – Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has announced that Denmark will hold a referendum on June 1 on whether to join the European Union's Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP).
According to the state news report, the vote is part of a new political accord on defence agreed by leaders of the Liberal Party, Conservative People's Party, Radical Left, and Socialist People's Party.
Furthermore, according to the agreement, Denmark aspires to fulfil NATO members' target defence spending of 2% of GDP by 2033, with efforts beginning in 2024.
The the European Union's Common Security and Defense Policy provides a framework for collaboration among member states, allowing the bloc to execute operational operations "with the goal of maintaining peace and improving international security in third countries by relying on civil and military assets provided by EU member states."
