List of years in Denmark

Events in the year 2022 in Denmark.

The year was dominated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Denmark took in Ukrainian refugees fleeing the invasion of their country. Danish government sent foreign aid to Ukraine, and condemned and sanctioned Russia for waging the war.

As the rest of Europe and in the world, Denmark continued to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and Deltacron hybrid variant, but much less so than in January 2020 and February 2022. The 2021–2023 inflation surge led to increased prices on many goods. 2022 Danish general election took place on 1 November.

  • 8 August – Defense minister Morten Bødskov, along with his colleagues from Norway and Sweden, announce an agreement to increase military cooperation. Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, agree that they may use each other's military infrastructure and airspace, and Denmark will station a military attaché in Stockholm. The agreement was reached to counter Russian aggression in the Baltic Sea region, as Russia has violated the territory of both Denmark and Sweden on several occasions in recent years. Bødskov warns that the region "will be marked by higher levels of tension than we have been used to".[18]
  • 9 August – Authorities in Greenland announce that two civilian employees at Thule Air Base have tested positive for monkeypox.[19]
  • 15 August – Conservative People's Party leader Søren Pape Poulsen presents himself as a candidate for prime minister in the next election.

  • 21 September – At the second time, the Royal Household announced that Queen Margrethe II tested positive for COVID-19. She had attended the funeral of Elizabeth II with her son Crown Prince Frederik on the 19th. The queen was previously infected in February.[20]
  • 26–29 September – A series of gas leaks happen at the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Bornholm. Prime minister Mette Frederiksen says that explosions were recorded at both pipelines prior to the leaks, and that Danish authorities suspect sabotage, but wouldn't speculate on who were responsible.[21][22] The Copenhagen Police (da) opens an investigation of the gas leaks, in collaboration with the National Police, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET), and others.[23] The Danish Defence Command sends the frigate Absalon and several other vessels to the area.[24]
  • 28 September – Queen Margrethe II announces changes to the titles of the descendants of her younger son prince Joachim. Effective from 1 January 2023, Joachim's children will no longer be allowed to call themselves prince or princess, but they remain in the line of succession. They will retain the title count or countess of Monpezat, given to both the queen's sons and all of their patrilineal descendants in 2008. Queen Margrethe justified the change for her grandchildren, who range in age from 10 to 23, as allowing them to "shape their own lives to a much greater extent without being limited by [royal duties]".[25]
  • 29 September
    • The day after queen Margrethe announced that the children of her son prince Joachim would lose their titles of prince or princess from the new year, Joachim speaks to tabloids B.T. and Ekstra Bladet. He says that he and his immediate family are dismayed, and that his children have had their identity taken from them. According to the prince, the queen shared a plan with him on 5 May under which the children would have lost their titles only when each of them turned 25. Under such a plan, youngest child Athena, age 10, would not have lost her title until 2037.[26][27]
    • Russo-Ukrainian War: Prime minister Mette Frederiksen condemns the annexation referendums in four Ukrainian regions orchestrated by president Vladimir Putin of Russia, saying that the referendums "have nothing to do with the will of the people and have no legal effect".[28]

Footnotes

  1. The three parties have a combined 89 seats in the Folketing, one short of a majority. However, three of the four Faroese and Greenlandic members of the Folketing (da) are affiliated with sister parties to the governing parties, and as such the new government has a majority of 92 seats.
