In Lolland Municipality, parents organized demonstrations in Maribo to protest the proposed closures of Søllested Skole and Østofte Skole. These protests coincided with municipal council discussions regarding the 2027–2030 budget catalog, as the municipality faces a projected saving requirement of 64 million kroner despite receiving state subsidies.

In Morsø Municipality, the political party Danmarksdemokraterne has introduced amendments to the 2027 budget to oppose structural changes and closures. Proposed measures include preventing the closure of the Lundkjærvej kindergarten and the Majgården childcare center, as well as delaying the potential closure of M. C. Holms Skole pending clarity on the distribution of a 500 million DKK state fund for schools in smaller communities. To fund these efforts, the party suggested utilizing municipal funds from renewable energy installations and reducing a position in technical operations.
