Appelés au vote le 1er juin, une large majorité de citoyens du Danemark, presque 67%, ont mis fin à l'exemption qui les dispensait de contribuer à la politique de sécurité et de Défense commune (PSCD) de l'Union européenne. Il s'agira donc de la fin d'un régime d'exception qui durait depuis plus de 30 ans, à la suite du rejet massif du traité de Maastricht, en 1992. « Le Danemark a envoyé un signal important à nos alliés en Europe et l'Otan » a déclaré la Première ministre social-démocrate Mette Frederiksen. Elle était parvenue à un accord en mars dernier avec cinq partis de droite et de gauche pour mettre sur pied ce référendum, ainsi que pour augmenter les dépenses de Défense de 1,4% à 2% du PIB d'ici à 2033. Ursula von der Leyen, la Présidente de la Commission européenne, a quant à elle, salué le message fort d'engagement envers la sécurité commune envoyé par le peuple danois.
