However, Denmark connected Russia’s raid to Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In May 2022, a country with six million inhabitants canceled one of the four rules for refusing a referendum, defense reservation. This clause in the agreement of Maastricht previously issued Denmark from the obligation to participate in the general protective policy.
Today it sounds like this: “We must restore Europe and strengthen our support from Ukraine,” says Fredericksen. Denmark no longer belongs to the group of “economic four” EU countries that want to limit the total expenses of the EU since 2020. And Copenhagen progresses in defense: in February 2025, an announcement was made on an increase in military spending by 2033 to more than three percent of GDP.
But when Fredericksen talks about security, she also talks about migration. The head of the government, who is often asked if she is still a social democrat with his difficult refuge policy, will probably try to establish a strict migration policy of Denmark at the EU level.
Shooting with Melony
The central problem during the presidency of the Council is probably legally allowed to record a warehouse for asylum and refugees outside the EU. Frederiksen is also looking for the end of the shoulder with the post -fascist head of the Giorgia Meloni government.
In May, both in an open letter, in which seven European government leaders joined, demanded more opportunities for national decisions to control migration. They also want a more flexible interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The decision of Europe in a legal dispute with Italy will be of central importance for recording camps outside the EU. Rome tried to realize his “Albanian decision” in order to attract migrants to the Albanian warehouse as safe countries of origin and deport them back to their countries. Judgment in this matter is expected in the next few months.
In Europe, the promotion of migration policy in Denmark is growing. “If all the Social Democrats, such as Mett, were Fredericksen!” Chancellor Friedrich Merza is delighted with the Munich Security Conference in February. The growing influence in Brussels should lead to Fredericksen in the Danish parliamentary elections of 2026.
European tango
It is also interesting how Fredericksen European tango succeeds with the United States. We are talking about Trump’s right to Greenland – once a colony, now the autonomous region of the Danish kingdom. After the omissions of Trump about Greenland, Fredericksen made a trip to Europe to win support and show the United States that the island is so easy to get.
But at the end of the confrontation with Washington, Denmark does not eventually want to: in June, the Danish parliament, nevertheless, approved the draft law that allows the American military bases on the Danish soil-expanding of the 2023 agreement with the government.
For Danish political scientist Ulrika Pram Gada, the analysis of the Danish government: “We continue to depend on US support. Accordingly, we must do our best to signal the United States that we want it to want this as allies. ”
However, that if Trump is true with his warning and does not evade the use of the military in Greenland? Then no one could do anything about it. “It makes no sense to protect Greenland territorially from the United States.” On the other hand, according to the Play of Gad, it makes no sense for Trump to accept Greenland military terms. No one will attack Greenland, with the exception, maybe in the case of a world war.
