(Local) Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says her ambition is for Denmark not to offer asylum to any refugees at all.
The PM said that she wanted to reduce asylum applications in Denmark to zero during comments in parliament.
“That’s what our target is. Of course, we can’t promise it,” she said.
“We can’t promise zero asylum seekers but we can create a vision, like we did before the election, that we want a new asylum system and then do what we can to implement it,” she continued.
2020 saw a total of 1,547 asylum seekers registered in Denmark, the lowest number since records began in their current form in 1998.
