The Danish leader agreed with the Vice President of the United States and expressed concern about the entry of illegal migrants
Frederiksen's stance aligns with the concerns expressed by JD Vance in his speech in Munich, where he warned that the greatest danger to Europe doesn't come from external actors like Russia or China, but from Europe's internal withdrawal from its core values, which it shares with the United States.
Vance also criticized Europe's response to anti-migration movements and how some countries like Romania and Germany are trying to prevent these movements from gaining power.
For Vance, the migration crisis facing Europe is a consequence of its own internal policies, and he warned that if European leaders fear their own voters, there is nothing the United States can do about it.
Both Frederiksen and Vance agree that controlling migration is essential to preserving Europe's values and well-being.
While Frederiksen reinforces this stance with restrictive policies in Denmark, Vance made an important call for Europe to regain its course and not be swayed by internal movements that threaten to undermine essential democratic principles.
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.
