The World - News from March 12, 1986

Danish Prime Minister Poul Schlueter announced a major shuffle of his minority, four-party coalition government. The changes came after a week of negotiations between his Conservatives, the Liberals and two junior partners in the center-right coalition. Uffe Ellemann-Jensen of the Liberals remained as foreign minister. Three ministers changed portfolios, and six were dropped from the Cabinet. Schlueter said the changes were made to show that the coalition “has the will to continue even after the next election,” due in 1988.
