She believed that it should be punishable to burn flags from all countries.

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)

Jotam Confino wrote that he had contacted all employees in the press department of the Red-Green Alliance three days earlier to inquire about what he described as open support for Hamas and the attack on October 7 during a demonstration that the party's local branches participated in. He wrote that he had not yet received a response and that the Red-Green Alliance's spokesperson for foreign affairs, Trine Pertou Mach, had also participated. According to Confino, it was therefore not only local branches but also a prominent party member who sits in the Danish Parliament that participated. #Enhedslisten #Hamas #Demonstration (translated)
