(Politico) Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has built a reputation for herself as Europe’s tough-love social democrat, with a hard line on migration that’s earned her more critiques from the left than from the right.
Now she’s getting a chance to test-drive that approach on the European stage.
As Denmark prepares to take over the EU’s rotating presidency from Poland in July, two EU diplomats said that Copenhagen would try to advance many of the same issues that Frederiksen has championed on the home front — namely stricter rules for asylum-seekers and a more robust approach to European defense in the face of an expansionist Russia.
