(Copenhagen Post) In June this year, the government plus Socialdemokratiet and Dansk Folkeparti put forward proposals to tighten up the criteria for Danish citizenship.
One of the measures supported by Venstre, Liberal Alliance and Dansk Folkeparti is that budding citizens will have to take part in a special ceremony during which “in connection with the ceremony, one or more representatives from the municipality meet the person and exchange a handshake.”
Hands off!
Two mayors, both members of Socialdemokratiet, have already said they do not intend to follow the law if it is passed, reports Jyllands-Posten.
Ole Bjørstorp from Ishøj and Steeen Christiansen from Albertslund both feel the demand is unreasonable and unconstitutional.
