Eric Coquerel believed that social democracy was supporting an additional candidate who, in his view, wanted to prolong the Macron presidency and only saw alliances to the right to defeat the RN.

Paul Vannier believed that the Socialist Party had not recovered from the 1.75% obtained by Hidalgo and that it was leaving the national political scene by not presenting any candidates from its ranks for the presidential election. He presented this situation as a consequence of its choice not to censure the government and its change of alliance, adding that its candidate now aspired to the leadership of the Macronist bloc. #Politique #PS #Présidentielle (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)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

Mona Juul wrote that she rarely gave space to political opponents and colleagues on her side, but this time she thought it was important to highlight their warnings about misinformation. She mentioned, among other things, that Stinus Lindgreen from the Radical Left had written about daily Russian misinformation on social media and his concern that parts of the population had lost trust in the authorities. According to Juul, Karsten Hønge from SF had described lies and manipulations from the Kremlin, while Troels Lund Poulsen from the Liberal party had talked about anonymous profiles, conspiracy theories, and accusations directed at him. Alex Vanopslagh from the Liberal Alliance had written that Russia spread propaganda, and Ida Auken had warned that actors from St. Petersburg influenced who won Danish elections. Juul wrote that she herself saw conspiracy theories, deliberate misinformation, AI-generated lies, and Russian bot accounts on social media. She called the development a challenge for Danish democracy and believed that politicians must stand together because the truth was under pressure. She highlighted Danish news media and journalists as important for democratic information because the media had accountable editors-in-chief and were responsible to the Danish people and the Press Council. At the same time, she warned against videos on X, whose authenticity could not be established. Juul thanked her political colleagues for addressing coordinated misinformation and said that Russia wanted to create distrust among people. In response, she called for solidarity. #Misinformation #Demokrati #Sammenhold (translated)

The Resistance Front (an informal alliance of pro-Iranian armed groups fighting Israel, which includes the Palestinian Hamas) has transformed its defensive strategy into an offensive strategy for the legitimate defense of the Palestinian people and their land, and has accelerated the decline of the Zionist regime. “On that day, the Resistance Front (an informal alliance of pro-Iranian armed groups fighting Israel, which includes the Palestinian Hamas) transformed its defensive strategy into an offensive strategy for the legitimate defense of the Palestinian people and their land, and has accelerated the decline of the Zionist regime,” said Ali Abdollahi in a statement. #Iran #Hamas #Israël (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that it had been three years since Hamas and other terrorists attacked Israel, describing the attack as the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He stated that families were killed in their homes, young people were attacked at a music festival, and children and grandparents were taken hostage. According to Vanopslagh, antisemitism surged significantly in the wake of the attack, even in Denmark. He wrote that Jews here at home were hiding their Stars of David and that Jewish children were met with Nazi salutes and threats. He described it as shameful that students at Carolineskolen had to attend school under armed police protection, and noted that Danish Jews were now facing even more harassment and threats. Vanopslagh wrote that Israel had the right to defend itself but also bore responsibility for its actions. He described the civilian suffering in Gaza as terrible and believed that Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank deserved serious criticism. He wrote that peace required a confrontation within Palestinian society regarding the notion that Israel could be wiped out. At the same time, he urged the far-left in Europe to stop supporting those who maintained that idea and criticized the alliance between the left and radical Islamists. Vanopslagh wrote that he would fight for Jews to live safely in Denmark, to wear kippahs and Stars of David, to go to synagogue, and to send their children to school without fear or armed guards. He wrote that Liberal Alliance would wholeheartedly stand by them and defend their freedom. #Antisemitisme #Danmark #Israel (translated)
