In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Dansk Folkeparti (16 members, first named: Mikkel Bjørn)
  • What is proposed: The proposal suggests that the Danish Parliament requires the government, before the end of the current parliamentary session, to introduce a bill that establishes that a person who has not met the requirements has not acquired Danish citizenship.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal concerns persons who, in connection with a declaration or application for Danish citizenship, have not met the requirements.
  • 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.
