Shafaqna English– Danish Conservative Party wants to change work permit rules to restrict the entry of individuals from Muslim countries seeking employment in Denmark.
The party wants to make it more difficult for foreigners from “Menapt” countries—the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, and Turkey—to enter the Danish labour market.
“There’s been a lack of recognition that those who arrive here as much-needed labour can end up becoming an integration challenge,” the party’s Political Spokesperson, Mette Abildgaard, told newspaper Berlingske in an interview published on Tuesday (20 May 2025).
“We have to be honest and acknowledge that what may be in the short-term interest of businesses is not necessarily in Denmark’s long-term interest,” Abildgaard said.
