In short
Reading time: 1 min- Proposed by: Dansk Folkeparti (16 members, first named: Mikkel Bjørn)
- What is proposed:
- The proposal calls on the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) to instruct the government to draft a bill to strip citizenship from foreign nationals who have been granted it by act.
- This is to happen if they are later sentenced to a conditional or unconditional prison sentence under the Criminal Code.
- Who would be affected: The proposal concerns foreign nationals who have been granted Danish citizenship by act and who are later sentenced to a conditional or unconditional prison sentence under the Criminal Code.
- 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.
