(Local) Denmark’s three largest political parties have said they do not want to accept the return of citizens who have travelled to Syria to fight for the Islamic State (Isis) terror group.
The Social Democrats, Danish People’s Party and the Liberal (Venstre) party have all ruled out accepting the return of Danish Isis fighters after US president Donald Trump called for European countries to take back the around 800 Isis fighters captured in Syria and put them on trial.
“This will not happen for as long as we have any say. They (the fighters, ed.) have long since wasted their Danish citizenships. They are no longer Danish in my eyes,” Søren Espersen, foreign policy spokesperson with the nationalist Danish People’s Party, said.
