Both parties released major policy packages — Venstre on business tax relief and Social Democrats on immigration measures — triggering a heated exchange as TV 2 hosts a leader debate tonight and opponents press the government for transparency on drones and Greenland coalition tensions.

Venstre proposes cutting corporate tax from 22 percent to 20 percent and raising the share-savings limit to 500,000 kroner.
Venstre claims the tax cut will boost GDP by about 27 billion kroner and add roughly 1,100 jobs, but the source for those numbers is unclear.
Social Democrats unveiled an immigration proposal that would bar people convicted of violence against healthcare staff from accessing parts of the health system.
Ministers from the two parties exchanged sharp public criticism over the social and economic effects of the rival proposals.
Six parties are demanding the government disclose whether drones flew over critical infrastructure last autumn and want answers before March 24.
Greenland's Siumut threatens to leave the coalition after two ministers ran for the Danish parliament without taking leave from the Greenland government.
The voter register has grown by about 35,000 since the last election to 4,303,751 and TV 2 will broadcast the party leader debate live from Horsens at 20:00 tonight.
