Morten Dahlin wrote that the Red-Green Alliance wanted to investigate whether all Danish companies had made excessive profits, but did not want to screen applicants for Danish citizenship for Islamist attitudes and a desire to overthrow the Danish democratic system. He called it a remarkable prioritization. #dkpol https://t.co/t8kDFeHqHr #dkpol #politik #Danmark (translated)
Joachim B. Olsen wrote that the Social Democrats, SF, the Moderates, the Radical Left, the Alternative, and the Unity List, in his opinion, granted citizenship to individuals with MENAPT backgrounds, even though they knew that a large proportion would commit criminal acts. He described it as harmful to the country. https://t.co/XrkK4pyLnJ #Politik #Statsborgerskab #Kriminalitet (translated)
Lars Boje Mathiesen wrote that a woman who was about to get citizenship had asked a journalist to speak with her daughter because she, according to him, did not speak Danish very well herself. He believed that this should disqualify her from getting citizenship and argued that people from MENAPT countries should not receive Danish citizenship but should return home. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #statsborgerskab #dinrettoverfor (translated)
Alex Vanopslagh wrote that the government would soon grant 2,055 citizenships without screening the applicants for anti-democratic behavior. He highlighted a woman mentioned in the proposal who, according to him, had repeatedly shared and praised Hamas and deceased Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar. Vanopslagh described Sinwar as the mastermind behind the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He wrote that the Liberal Alliance wanted to summon the woman for a citizenship interview and referred to an article in Politiken. At the same time, he emphasized that he did not know if the woman was an Islamist or anti-democrat, but believed her posts pointed in that direction. He used the case as an argument for a screening model before more citizenships were distributed. Vanopslagh criticized the Social Democrats for having delayed the decision for more than two years, according to him. He wrote that the Minister for Immigration and Integration, Rasmus Stoklund, had said that the public should alert the authorities about individuals who might not deserve citizenship. Vanopslagh believed that the responsibility lay with the government, not the public or Liberal Alliance staff, and wrote that the government put citizens who deserved citizenship in the same category as individuals like the woman in the article. #statsborgerskab #demokrati #politik (translated)
Morten Messerschmidt wrote that the case of Nkumba Tshiembe, who he said killed Christian Zedig at Islands Brygge, was the most unreasonable he had experienced in his many years in politics. He emphasized that Zedig left behind a wife and two young daughters, and wrote that the court sentenced Tshiembe to 12 months in prison and 12 months of quarantine from nightlife. According to Messerschmidt, Tshiembe had previous convictions for violence, rape, and attempted murder. Messerschmidt criticized the government and said he would work for harsher penalties and to deprive criminal immigrants of citizenship in order to send them home. He urged supporters to back his work and said that the goal was to make Denmark the world's safest, most secure, and most just country. #Retfærdighed #Sikkerhed #Politik (translated)
The Baron of Øresund wrote that the left-wing should stop telling foreigners that they had the right to Danish citizenship. He also believed that state-funded media like DR should not involve foreigners in the debate about citizenship, which he described as a matter solely for the Danish people. https://t.co/Xrnyuuj6WI #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #Udlændinge (translated)
Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Liberal Alliance's Mads Strange had asked a person who described himself as a conservative Muslim in the TV 2 program Højskolen on Wednesday if it was a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark believed that homosexuality was acceptable. According to Vanopslagh, the person rejected that it was a problem and would not answer what he personally thought about homosexuality. Vanopslagh wrote that he disagreed and considered homophobia to be among the least Danish things. He believed that Muslims could be Danish if they supported the fundamental values of democracy and had embraced Denmark. As a member of parliament, he claimed to have both the right and the duty to establish the requirements for Danish citizenship. He wrote that applicants should at a minimum acknowledge the precedence of Danish law over religious laws, an individual's right to make choices about his life, and equal rights for homosexuals. They should also not support Islamist regimes or terrorist movements. Therefore, Liberal Alliance would screen applicants and say no to individuals who had praised terrorism, supported Hamas or similar organizations, threatened people who left Islam, or acted hostile towards homosexuals, he wrote. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for 2,055 individuals. He referred to the government's own statement that applicants' values should be screened, but that the screening should not apply to the 2,055 individuals. According to him, this risked allowing Islamists, rabid anti-Semites, or anti-democrats to gain citizenship. Liberal Alliance would not vote for more citizenships until the screening was in place, Vanopslagh wrote. He described Danish citizenship as a gift rather than a right. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #LiberalAlliance (translated)
Lars Boje Mathiesen wrote that the Citizens' Party had proposed to revoke the citizenship of a person of African descent, whom he described as a serial criminal. He believed the proposal was relevant because Mette Frederiksen was soon to speak with the person's father. Mathiesen asked whether the media had covered the proposal or asked the other parties whether they would support it, and what the Prime Minister thought. He also wrote that a proposal from another party, in his estimation, would have received more media coverage, and questioned whether the media were neutral. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #dækning #statsborgerskab (translated)
Claus Due wrote that the Ministry of Citizenship had been updated with statistics back to 1983 and a chart of countries of origin. He stated that users could choose a politician from the list and see their figures broken down by year, number, and country of origin, and used Støjberg as an example. https://t.co/jSDJ7Rcmhq #statsborgerskab #opdatering #statistik (translated)
Lars Boje Mathiesen asked whether the media had asked Mette Frederiksen if she felt a personal responsibility for the death of a Swedish man because she had granted citizenship to a man of African descent. He wrote that if TV 2 and DR were deliberately silent about the matter, it showed, in his opinion, that the press was in the pocket of the political power holders. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #dkmedier #politik (translated)
Jonatan Pallesen wrote to Rasmus Jarlov that Jarlov voted in 2015 to grant citizenship to 5,365 people from outside Europe as well as 4,210 children who accompanied them. Pallesen wrote that this might have been the largest number ever granted through a legislative proposal. Pallesen suggested that Jarlov could write if he now regretted his vote. He encouraged him to describe that mass grants of citizenship, according to Pallesen, had the serious consequence that career criminals among foreigners could not be deported, and that it had led to many victims of violence and sexual assault. He also suggested that Jarlov call the grant a mistake and expressed hope that the Danish Parliament would avoid repeating it. #statsborgerskab #udlændinge #politikk (translated)
Lars Boje Mathiesen wrote that the Citizens' Party would propose to revoke the citizenship of a man whom he described as an African and responsible for the murder of a Swedish family father. Mathiesen believed that the man should not return to Danish society. He wrote that the man had been convicted of serious violence, rape, attempted murder, and threats, and claimed that he had abused his citizenship. Mathiesen urged the other parties to support the proposal and said that several of them had expressed outrage on social media. Mathiesen pointed out that the Social Democrats and the Liberal Party, according to him, had been in power for years without raising the penalties. He also wrote that a unanimous Parliament had granted the man citizenship, and that the Danish People's Party had voted in favor, just as Mette Frederiksen and Inger Støjberg had personally voted in favor. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #danmark #statsborgerskab (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)
Mikkel Bjørn wrote that Bosse Stine had compared it to the 1930s, not granting citizenship to Islamists and anti-democrats. He responded sarcastically that this had been the big project in the 1930s, which everyone knew. https://t.co/2VIHn8XiHZ #politik #historie #demokrati (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)
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)
