The Danish People's Party repeated Morten Messerschmidt's statement from the Debate, where he said that it was fundamentally unreasonable that individuals without Danish citizenship could receive money from the treasury without having contributed themselves. https://t.co/WppcPnw0BM #Danmark #Samfund #Politik (translated)

Magnus Barsøe wrote that Denmark should establish an investment fund inspired by Norway together with Mayor Michael Vindfeldt. They presented the proposal in Berlingske and called the fund "Denmark's Generational Fund." Barsøe compared Norway's sovereign fund, which he claimed had nearly 22 trillion Norwegian kroner, with Denmark's economy. He wrote that the treasury had an overall surplus of nearly 500 billion kroner from 2021 to 2025, and argued that the money should be invested instead of being used for political priorities. The proposal included a starting capital of between 100 and 150 billion kroner from the state's account in the National Bank, as well as annual state contributions of ten billion kroner for ten years. According to Barsøe, the investments should be widely spread across foreign stocks and managed independently of politicians. He also suggested a cap of two percent on the fund's annual payouts. If the fund started with 150 billion kroner, Barsøe claimed it could grow to about 500 billion kroner in 20 years and then send nearly ten billion kroner a year to welfare. He wrote that the fund should help pass on values to future generations and noted that Denmark's "oil" was labor. #Danmark #Økonomi #Investering (translated)

The writer stated that actions such as stepping on a flag, which according to the writer had occurred in the Middle East when people reacted to the Muhammad cartoons, did not belong in Europe. The writer believed that such behavior was unworthy of a public office and contradicted the principles on which Western democracies are based. #Demokrati #Yttrandefrihet #Mellanöstern #SE #DK #ME (translated)

Peter Rasmussen wrote that several employees at B.T. had sent a so-called "concern letter" to editor-in-chief Simon Richard Nielsen because they believed, according to his presentation, that the newspaper's editorial line was too right-leaning. He described it as a showdown between the newspaper's line and left-leaning journalists. Rasmussen believed that B.T. lacked enough value-politically right-leaning journalists to run the newspaper without such a showdown. He also wrote that the newspaper was under pressure to moderate its line but claimed that the Danish population lay significantly to the right of the media. According to him, B.T. therefore filled a gap in the media landscape that no other media covered. He urged Simon Richard Nielsen to maintain the editorial line and wrote that a change could make B.T. unnecessary. #dkmedier https://t.co/IZEtDErAVd #dkmedier #journalistik #venstreorienteret (translated)

Morten Messerschmidt wrote that the blue bloc stood united in rejecting Henrik Frandsen as a candidate for the position of Speaker of the Folketing. After the Alternative also stated that the party would reject him, it was, according to Messerschmidt, the government majority along with the Red-Green Alliance that determined the outcome of today's meeting. He criticized the Red-Green Alliance for overlooking what had recently come to light about Frandsen and called it a sign that the party had become conformist. Messerschmidt wrote that for him, the issue concerned the institution of the Folketing and not Frandsen as a person. He believed that the position of Speaker required parliamentary experience and authority, and that the Speaker should safeguard the independence of the Folketing from the government. Messerschmidt also wrote that, in his assessment, Frandsen would not become the trusted man of the Folketing, but was primarily Lars Løkke Rasmussen's man. This strengthened his belief, according to the post, that it was the right decision to make himself available for the Presidium of the Folketing. He added that the Danish People's Party would ensure the greatest possible resistance to what he described as the government's overreach leading up to the next parliamentary election. #Folketinget #politik #Demokrati (translated)

The Baron of Øresund wrote that an Afghan had called it an important day, as more than 2,000 foreigners received Danish citizenship. He referred to Nadja Isaksen asking what Denmark gained from it and answered himself that the country, according to him, gained nothing but instead lost from it. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #Udlændinge (translated)

Mitchel Oliver wrote that the Parliament would open the day after, even though the political season had not yet begun. He mentioned the drone scandal, the CPR scandal, the fingerprint scandal, relaxations of citizenship rules, a proposal for a sneaky tax, L5 taxes on vegetables, and what he described as the worst PISA results ever. Oliver wrote that the government had already grossly failed the Danes. #Folketinget #politik #Danmark (translated)

Mikkel Bjørn wrote that the Social Democrats had promised not to grant new citizenships without assurance that the applicants were not criminals or opposed to Denmark and democracy. He claimed that the party was now breaking that promise because several thousand would receive citizenship without the promised screening, including many from the Middle East and Africa. According to Bjørn, the largest single group in the proposed legislation was the temporary Syrian refugees, whom the Social Democrats had promised to send home. #politikk #Danmark #statsborgerskab (translated)

Klaus Riskær Pedersen criticized the former and current government for the handling of the CPR register. He wrote that systematic data collection could have taken place without being stopped by the security systems and called it a political scandal that required immediate accountability. Pedersen claimed that the problems were due to Minister of Interior and Housing Christian Rabjerg Madsen awarding the operation of the CPR system to the American company DXC Technology in 2022. He also criticized former Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek, stating that the tender in 2021 was carried out under the GPA agreement, which allowed American companies to bid. According to Pedersen, the agreement allowed for the exclusion of foreign bidders on grounds of security and vital national interests, and he believed that the CPR register, which he described as critical infrastructure, should not have been entrusted to a foreign company. He placed the responsibility for the lack of control systems on the Agency for Digitization and believed that the government's leadership bore political accountability for the appointments. He wrote that Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had not made the decision herself but had appointed a political leadership that he considered lacking in professionalism and experience. He also claimed that the government had been so preoccupied with the war in Europe by the end of 2022 that it had not concerned itself with the CPR system. Furthermore, Pedersen criticized that the Parliament, in his opinion, would choose Henrik Frandsen from the Moderates as chairman, even though Frandsen had only served in Parliament for four years. He described Frandsen as unworthy of the position and accused him of serious moral shortcomings. Pedersen wrote that all Danish citizens must remain vigilant until those responsible figured out whether new CPR numbers were necessary, suggesting that Russia would be to blame. He alleged that businesses' access to the register had been shut down, causing chaos, and that the lack of identity verification could make it difficult for public institutions to hire educators. He compared the situation to previous problems in the police's data systems. #Inkompetence #Politik #Danmark (translated)

Morten Messerschmidt wrote that the Social Democrats had destroyed the immigration policy. He claimed that the government had decided to grant citizenship to 2,055 individuals without screening, and that a significant proportion came from the Middle East and Africa. According to Messerschmidt, the Social Democrats had lost the internal power struggle over immigration policy, so the Radical Left, the Socialist People’s Party, and the Moderates now determined the policy in the area of citizenship. He believed that one could not conduct a strict immigration policy while simultaneously accepting a practice that, in his view, could grant citizenship to Islamists without screening. Messerschmidt wrote that the Social Democrats had lost control over immigration policy and that the Danish People's Party and he himself were ready to take over if Mette Frederiksen no longer wanted or could pursue the policy she had promised. He said he would make Denmark the safest country in the world. #udlændingepolitik #Danmark #socialdemokratiet (translated)

Palle Hyldgård Poulsen wrote that Mette Frederiksen had said in the Folketing in June that Danish citizenships would not be granted until a screening model was ready. He asked whether it was a big lie, or if Frederiksen still stood by her words. #dkpol #dkmedier https://t.co/8T3udmrMWC #dkpol #danskpolitik #statsborgerskab (translated)

The writer stated that the Danish government wanted to introduce a review of individuals applying for citizenship to uncover undemocratic opinions. According to the writer, foreigners' values should align with Danish values for them to obtain citizenship. https://t.co/i07ibZCO92 #Danmark #medborgarskap #politik #DK (translated)

Eva Gregersen wrote that the government, according to her information, would reintroduce a bill on Danish citizenship for 2,055 applicants and their 1,039 children without first screening them for anti-democratic views. She believed that the Social Democrats were thus yielding to the value-political left. In a column in Berlingske in February, Gregersen had predicted that at least 600 people with the same ideological standpoint as an applicant, whom Stoklund had allegedly rejected the year before due to their values, would obtain citizenship. She also referred to Wilkes' study for Jyllands-Posten from 2024, which according to her showed that 54 percent of Muslims living in Denmark believed that the dictates of the Koran should be followed fully. Gregersen pointed out that Mette Frederiksen had stated from the podium of the Folketing that it was incompatible with Danish society to take the words of the Koran at face value. Gregersen agreed with that assessment and called it national self-harm to continue granting citizenship to so many people, whom she believed could be expected to follow the dictates of the Koran. #udlændingepolitik #danskpolitik #statsborgerskab (translated)

Christian Marcussen wrote that he had participated in the program Akkurat hos Clement, where the panel had discussed Danish politics as well as the election in Sweden, the unrest in France, and the USA under Donald Trump. He described the government as an artificially composed "Frankenstein government" and pointed to immigration policy as a conflict point. According to him, there would be repeated stories of internal disagreement until the government fell. Marcussen called the issue of citizenship the biggest point of contention and wrote that the three smaller government parties wanted relaxations. He referred to a news report stating that the Moderates, Radikale Venstre, and SF wanted to grant citizenship to 2,055 people who, according to him, were waiting for a model to be developed to filter out anti-democrats. He assessed that the Social Democrats would bend in the matter but wrote that he would like to be wrong. #danskpolitik #valget2023 #statsborgerskab (translated)
