PET, FE, and SAMSIK have published a three-page threat assessment on foreign interference ahead of Denmark's March 24, 2026 parliamentary election. The assessment finds Russia is the primary threat actor for influence activities, which include disinformation, cyberattacks, and attempts to polarise public debate or target specific candidates and parties. The assessment notes that US interest in Greenland has created new international fault lines that foreign states such as Russia and China could exploit for influence purposes. Danish authorities are monitoring the situation through the interministerial Taskforce Påvirkn.
