(Local) Denmark’s integration minister has celebrated statistics showing more people with refugee backgrounds leaving the country than arriving as “lovely numbers.”
According to the analysis by the Ministry of Immigration and Integration, the number of people granted asylum in Denmark who had chosen to leave the country in [the] last year exceeded new arrivals by 730.
This was the first time more people with refugee backgrounds have left the country than arrived since 2011.
“I am pleased, first of all, because it shows, in part, that we can keep the influx at bay by pursuing a sensible policy in Denmark,” Mattias Tesfaye, the integration minister, said as the analysis was released.
