The current Danish (third of the) government is Social Democrat in name only.
They used to be actual Social Democrats back in the 90s and the beginning of the 2000s, but it’s now a liberal (as in center right to right wing) party with downright racist immigration policies.
Has been ever since Helle Thorning-Schmidt took over as leader of the party and it’s only gotten worse under Mette Frederiksen.
Still probably better than Romania’s PSD (Partidul Social Democrat). The founding members were communist party members trying to grab power in a post-Ceacescu era, and have no real political ideology. Just corrupt bureaucrats trying to pilfer anything not bolted to the floor.
It’s very sad to me that in modern Romanian politics there isn’t really a left-wing party. The most “sane” party is a center-right technocratic party (USR) that is at least better because they tend to mostly keep their hands off the bribe money.
