Nadja Natalie Isaksen wrote that she had seen pictures and videos which, in her opinion, showed several people completely or partially masked at a counter-demonstration in Copenhagen the Saturday before. She also wrote that followers had contacted her about the matter via Facebook and email. Isaksen referred to Section 134 b of the Danish Penal Code, which according to her prohibits covering one's face at public meetings, gatherings, and processions if it prevents identification. She wrote that violations can be punished by a fine or imprisonment for up to six months. She stated that she had asked the Minister of Justice questions about both the general enforcement of the provision and the police's actions during the demonstrations in Copenhagen, including whether anyone had been charged. If no one had been charged, she wanted to be informed why. #Maskeringsforbud #Demonstration #Justitsminster (translated)

Nadja Natalie Isaksen wrote that several demonstrations were held over the weekend, where the Dannebrog was raised in one and burned in the other. She also mentioned that a demonstrator stuffed the burned flag into their underwear. Isaksen wrote that she saw the Dannebrog as a symbol of Denmark's history, Christian cultural heritage, and community, and that it pained her to see the flag being burned and mocked. She believed that it should be punishable to burn flags from all countries. According to her, it was not punishable to burn the Dannebrog, while burning flags of other countries and tearing a page out of the Quran could be punished with up to two years in prison. She stated that she had posed questions to the Minister of Justice and urged him to make it punishable to burn or mock the Dannebrog. #Dannebrog #Danmark #flag (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that leftist demonstrators could burn the Dannebrog without breaking the law, while burning the Quran would be illegal under the Quran law. He did not believe that flag burning should be prohibited, but described the difference as a peculiar legal situation and an expression of religious special considerations. Vanopslagh claimed that the previous government had allowed the burning of the Dannebrog without consequences, while individuals who did something that the law deemed inappropriate regarding the Quran could face up to two years in prison. According to him, that was twice as long as Nkumba Tshiembe received for killing a 31-year-old Swede at a football event in Islands Brygge. He wrote that Denmark should be a free, liberal country and argued for harsher penalties for murder and severe violence, as well as more deportations of criminal foreigners. In his opinion, the police and judicial resources should not be used to criminalize criticism of Islam through Quran burnings. #Dannebrog #Ytringsfrihed #Danmark (translated)

Rasmus Munch Søndergaard wrote that Danish police, in his opinion, did not enforce the law uniformly. He claimed that political violence committed by the left was not being solved, and referred to masked demonstrators as dangerous left-wing extremists. He pointed to Section 134 b, subsection 1 of the Penal Code, which he stated prohibits face coverings at public meetings and gatherings when they can prevent identification. Søndergaard wrote that he had attempted to find the responsible incident commander to ask them to enforce the law, but that the officers would not or could not identify the leader. He criticized that, in his opinion, one could not rely on equal enforcement of the law in Denmark. #Danmark #PolitiskVold #Loven (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)

Malue Montclairre called the statue ridiculous, immoral, childish, and provocative and wrote that it showed that the EU establishment had crossed a lower threshold. Malue Montclairre added that the EU, in their view, did not challenge countries that jailed people for hate speech or for hurting others' feelings. #EU #politik #satire (translated)
