In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Dansk Folkeparti (16 members, first named: Mikkel Bjørn)
  • What is proposed: The proposal asks the Danish Parliament to instruct the government to introduce the necessary bills on the right of withdrawal for foreigners who receive public support for repatriation.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal concerns foreigners who receive public support for repatriation and leave Denmark with the aim of permanently returning to their home country.
  • 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.

What the proposal says:

  • The Danish Parliament instructs the government to introduce the necessary bills so that foreigners who receive public support for repatriation cannot later use the right of withdrawal in section 17 a of the Aliens Act to return to Denmark on their previous residence basis.
  • Receiving repatriation support must mean that, when leaving, the person permanently gives up their previous residence basis in Denmark.
