Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressed agreement with recent comments by Vice President JD Vance, who stated that mass migration to Europe is a significant problem.
During an interview with the Democratic outlet Politico published Thursday, Frederiksen noted that it is crucial for Europe to start curbing the flow of foreign migrants, describing mass migration as a "threat to daily life in Europe."
This statement echoes a speech given by Vance on February 14 at the Munich Security Conference, where he addressed similar concerns about the risks of migration in Europe.
Frederiksen's stance on the issue has been reflected not only in her statements but also in the policies implemented by her government. Denmark has adopted strict measures against immigration, such as the confiscation of migrants' assets to cover their accommodation costs.
Additionally, Danish laws known as "No Ghetto" aim to prevent certain neighborhoods from having an excessive concentration of migrants. These measures reinforce her focus on the importance of controlling migration, something she considers essential for the well-being of Danish society.
Frederiksen stated that she supports the Scandinavian welfare model, which includes education, social benefits, and tax-funded healthcare, but emphasized that, for her, this is just one of the traditional pillars of democratic socialism. The second pillar, according to her, is having control over migration.
