Overall Current Info!

 
June 5th is Denmark's Constitution Day (Grundlovsdag). It is the anniversary of the first Danish constitution; the Constitution of 1849, and the subsequent constitutions of 1915 and 1953.

Constitution Day is a national holiday and is marked with political meetings around the country. In some collective agreements, the day is recognized as a half or full day off. However, Grundlovsdag is not a Danish national holiday, as it is known from other countries. 
 
This year is the 175th anniversary of the first constitution. The Danish Parliament and DR will transform Constitution Day into a larger and more festive national celebration of democracy, community and constitution.
