You write that “One of the candidates from Nye Borgerlige went so far as to say that the elderly can refuse a helper even if it is on discriminatory grounds, if the helper wears a scarf or is “Italian, gay or Jewish”.”
As Italian, I was quite pissed in reading the article. Nevertheless, I have looked in the internet for the original article and probably this is not what happened.
A journalist asked the nyeborgelige leader whether elder people could refuse help from SOSU in case they do not feel safe and she answered yes. Then, the journalist asked if this is valid also if the sosu is Italian, Jew or gay so the party leader answered that this applies for everyone.
If that’s what happened, it is quite different from what you described. And I would call it misleading news.
