Can you give sources for claims that conservatives and liberal alliance want to remove residence of all non citizens after three months of unemployment? Can't find anything on the subject online.
You can check the Borgerligt Konvent 2026 joint declaration, where they say that residence should be conditional on active self-sufficiency. In further declarations afterwards, they confirmed that they would implement a 90-day limit for residence review after losing a job, replacing the current 180-days rule.
Doesn't that mean that it would apply to residence on basis of employment only? Or did they say anthing about residence on the basis of self sufficient funds or permanent residence?
I was just about to ask the same question! I have a friend with close ties to LA and he told me this isn't the case for either of the two parties. He also provided official reference from LA to back it up:
My understanding of Danish is not perfect, but I could not find a policy like the one mentioned in the article. Please share your sources, because spreading misinformation and misleading readers in such crucial times can really discredit your legitimacy as a media outlet.
Hey Toni. My claim is based on Liberal Alliance’s 2026 election manifesto 'En Frisk Start' and their policy paper 'Fra erkendelse til handling.' Specifically, Point 3 of their udlændingeudspil states that residence should 'lapse' (bortfalde) if employment ends. While they use the term 'automatic,' they have publicly aligned with the broader Blue Block consensus for the 2026 election, which sets a 3-month (90-day) 'Selvforsørgelsestærskel' as the definitive limit for non-citizens to remain in Denmark without a job.
Also, in a March 2026 interview with Berlingske, Vanopslagh clarified that LA’s "Private Insurance Model" implies that after 3 months of unemployment, a non-citizen is no longer "self-reliant" by their definition, triggering a residence review.
I second Tom Kot's request. Would be nice to see the actual statements when you find the time.
I have tried following up on the resources you mentioned, but I still fail to find the concrete citations. I found "En Frisk Start", "Fra erkendelse til handling" and a document called "De første 100 dage" (which I assume is the joint declaration of the Blue parties you mentioned?). I could not find the specific interview with Vanopslagh in the Berlingske. I obviously haven't read everything in such a short time, I have mostly tried searching the documents with keywords and the only thing I managed to dig up so far is from "Fra erkendelse til handling":
Lande, som Danmark laver
arbejdskraftsaftaler med, skal være villige
til at tage deres statsborgere tilbage, hvis
de udvises. Opholdstilladelsen skal for
personer, som kommer til via disse
aftaler, bortfalde, hvis de ikke længere er i
beskæftigelse i Danmark.
In any case, it feels weird that such policies have to be pieced together like a puzzle instead of being directly stated in their agenda. Almost as if they're trying to not be transparent about it. 😀
Can you link specific sources for the blue block three months limit?
I've in the past been able to highlight these issues to my moderate conservative friends, who were completely oblivious to how the parties they support are making immigrant lives harsher. It makes it a lot easier to explain using oneself as an example. It's hard to convince anyone that that is their policy if it's not explicitly stated in their program and it would be helpful if going forward you have these citations in the newsletter.
"mandatory screening for anti-democratic values" - as parties proposing it represent a different set of anti-democratic values, supporting them would disqualify me from citizenship?
Subbed and following. I like Denmark and have friends + family-in-law there, so always keen to see English-language stuff on Danish politics and current affairs.
