Danish PM calls Muslim migrants the EU's "enemy within"
Mette Frederiksen stated that some Muslim migrants pose a threat to Europe on a par with other terrorists.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has declared that a new "enemy" has grown within Europe, linking some migrants, particularly Muslims, to support for terrorism. This is reported by Brussels Signal.
Speaking on August 12 in the Danish parliament, Frederiksen stated that Europe faces threats both from outside and from within. In her view, "a serious enemy has begun to grow within, and these are foreigners who have come to Europe."
The Prime Minister noted that she was referring to "Hamas supporters," people "committing terror against European societies" and "not recognising fundamental European values," clarifying that she meant people "of Islamic background who do not want an open, free European society."
The debate was prompted by the mass arrival of migrants on July 30–31 at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, where, according to Spain's Interior Ministry, around 50,000 people crossed from Morocco, more than 25,000 of whom were returned within a few days. Frederiksen described the footage from Ceuta as "very brutal" and warned that at the slightest sign of migrants moving northward into Europe, Denmark would not hesitate to fully close its borders so that police could check every person entering. According to her, the Danish police already have a plan for such a scenario, ready to be implemented within a few hours. The Prime Minister also criticised Spain's decision to legalise illegal migrants, stating that Denmark disagrees with this approach and does not intend to pay for other countries' decisions.
The current asylum system, according to Frederiksen, "does not work, is inhumane and destructive for Europe," and Denmark, together with Italy, has already called for stricter deportations and the creation of repatriation centres in third countries.
As the SPJ previously reported, the Prime Ministers of Italy and Denmark stated that migrants must respect our Christian heritage.
