In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Dansk Folkeparti (15 members, first named: Mette Thiesen)
  • What is proposed: The proposal sets out that the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) asks the government to prepare the necessary executive orders so that 29 August becomes a national flag day.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal is aimed at the government and at public buildings and institutions, which are to fly the flag on the day.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.
