| 2019-04-02 |
| [VOE] n a landmark decision between the government and its right-wing allies, Denmark won’t recognize "ISIS children" as Danish nationals, and will make it easier to revoke citizenship from their terrorist parents in absentia, with no court involved. The children of Denmark’s jihadists who left their country to join the terrorists’ cause in the Middle East will no longer be automatically granted Danish citizenship, according to a new agreement between the government and the right-wing Danish People’s Party. Integration Minister Inger Støjberg of the ruling liberal-conservative party Venstre, said the practice of automatically granting citizenship must end. "They are born to parents who have turned their backs on Denmark, and therefore should not belong in Denmark", Støjberg told Danish Radio. The Danish People’s Party’s spokesman Christian Langballe welcomed this step, stressing that it is consistent with his party’s wishes. |
