Betrayal! Danish prime minister breaks her promise, and will now liberalize immigration policies.
The Social Democrats became the biggest party in the Danish election last month, and the populist Danish People’s Party plummeted, much because the Danish Social Democrats had adopted some of the Danish People’s Party’s popular and relativley strict immigration policies.
But now when Mette Frederiksen from the Social Democrats have become the new prime minister, she and the other in her party have started to liberalize immigration polices, much because of pressure from three far left parties who also did a good election.
The plan of the former right-wing government was to isolate criminal foreign citizens and rejected asylum seekers on a small Island before sending them home. That will not happen now, the new government have decided. Moreover, the government will also increase the integration allowance for foreign families with children.
And now all refugees who are supposed to just stay temporarily in Denmark will get the opportunity to take a free and taxpayer-funded high education. Integration and foreign minister Mattias Tesfaye said this on Sunday, despite him saying the opposite during the campaign.
The Danish People’s Party has insisted that refugees on temporary residence must return to their home country. If they get work or education in Denmark, it must be something they can use in their home country. It was not just the other right-centre parties that joined that policy earlier this year. The Social Democracy did it too. But in negotiating with the Radical Left party, the Socalist party and Enhedslisten, the Social Democrats had to change their mind.
If refugees start a long-term higher education, it will be virtually impossible to make them return home. And others will see an opportunity to stay in Denmark.
Kristian Thulesen Dahl, the leader of the Danish People’s party writes on Facebook: “Step by step, the immigration policy is being relaxed. Although the promise in the election campaign was the opposite.
The consequence is that Denmark is again becoming more attractive to seek asylum in. It is sad to see our work with a strict migration policy being destroyed.

Vladimir Putin answered questions from American film director, screenwriter and producer Oliver Stone. The important/revealing interview was recorded on June 19, 2019 in the Kremlin.
Oliver Stone: Yes. So recently, you know Russia has been obviously accused and accused over and over again of interference in the 2016 election. As far as I know there is no proof, it has not turned up. But now in the US there has been an investigation going on about Ukraine’s interference in the election. It seems that it was a very confusing situation, and Poroshenko seems to have been very strongly pro-Clinton, anti-Trump.
Vladimir Putin: Yes, this is no secret.
Oliver Stone: Do you think there was interference?
Vladimir Putin: I do not think that this could be interpreted as interference by Ukraine. But it is perfectly obvious that Ukrainian oligarchs gave money to Trump’s opponents. I do not know whether they did this by themselves or with the knowledge of the authorities.
Oliver Stone: Where they giving information to the Clinton campaign?
Vladimir Putin: I do not know. I am being honest. I will not speak about what I do not know. I have enough problems of my own. They assumed Mrs Clinton would win and did everything to show loyalty to the future US administration. That is nothing special. They wanted the future President to have a good opinion of them. This is why they allowed themselves to make unflattering statements about Trump and supported the Democrats in every possible way. This is no secret at all. They acted almost in public.
Oliver Stone: You do not want to go any further on that because you do not have any information?
Vladimir Putin: You know, this would be inappropriate on my part. If I said something more specific, I would have to put some documents, some papers on the table.
Oliver Stone: You understand that it has huge implications because Mr Trump would be very grateful?
Vladimir Putin: I did not interfere then, I do not want to interfere now, and I am not going to interfere in the future.
Oliver Stone: But that is a noble motive. Unfortunately, the world has degenerated in these two years, with all this backbiting and accusations, dirty fighting. Anyway…
Vladimir Putin: There are no rules at all. It is no holds barred.
