Denmark’s immigration model has received a great deal of attention recently, as the UK’s ruling Labour Party has sought to copy the Danish model in an attempt to ward off an electoral challenge from the far right Reform UK party.
A key plank of the Danish model is the so called ‘ghetto law’, which allows the government to demolish apartment blocks where at least half of residents have a ‘non-western’ background. The European Court of Justice has just ruled that this law may be unlawful under the EU’s race equality directive, as ethnic minorities may receive differential treatment compared to members of the ethnic majority with similar characteristics.
r/neoliberal may be interested as there is an ongoing argument on the sub as to how best to promote the integration of immigrants while safeguarding the human rights of all members of society.
