(Local) Denmark’s Minister for Immigration and Integration Mattias Tesfaye has said he does not want to hand the power to revoke passports to parliament.
A number of political parties have called for parliament to be given the power to withdraw passports, rather than the immigration ministry.
Tesfaye said he was “not crazy about” the idea.
“I want to stick to the principles our society is built upon. I want parliament to pass laws and the government, meaning the ministries, to have responsibility (for them),” Tesfaye said.
A government bill proposes enabling the immigration minister to decide whether a person with double citizenship can have their Danish nationality revoked.
