Denmark earlier than the change of presidency: the success of the crimson elections is just not a venture

Why is it totally different within the Danish social democrats than within the SPD? They don't seem to be afraid to place themselves additional to the best, he says Carsten SchmiesterNonetheless, he advises: don't simply imitate!

A remark by Carsten Schmiester, ARD-Studio Stockholm

First Sweden, then Finland, now Denmark: within the far north, the social democratic world is nice once more - one would possibly suppose at first sight. However watch out! For the present electoral victory of the brand new hope, Mette Frederiksen is just not a venture for different social democratic events, which is simply considerably worse, particularly not for German.

The premise of Frederiksen's success isn't just a return to traditional leftist positions in social and financial politics. It may additionally work elsewhere, so long as you're not in an enormous coalition and can also be liable for the relatively traditional left.

Broad consensus for strict asylum insurance policies

Extra necessary in Denmark have been, allow us to say, "stunning" social-democratic adjustments in asylum insurance policies. And it's not simply since yesterday. Most of the greater than 100 tightening choices of the Danish center-right authorities which were permitted within the final 4 years have been supported by the Social Democrats below Frederiksen, with out it having destroyed the occasion. As a result of the thought of ​​having to defend the blessings of the Danish welfare state - and particularly in opposition to immigrants, as it's known as, "non-western states" - is simply controversially mentioned on the left aspect of the occasion spectrum, in any other case it's a consensus social. It doesn't look cute and it isn't.

The Danes may be the happiest folks on the planet, which is all the time licensed. However they didn't include the saying "happiness needs to be shared". On this context, and simply earlier than, Frederiksen dared to interrupt the taboo and get away with it.

Don't put it within the igitt drawer immediately

Pricey social democrats in Germany, this doesn't diminish. However don't be afraid to think about this topic troublesome from the viewpoint of the profitable Danish comrades, with out instantly placing Frederiksen's line within the no-go or no-go drawer. Questionable doesn't imply basically fallacious. You need to query them, this line. For instance, anybody who calls for and encourages integration with better emphasis is just not mechanically a right-wing populist. Nonetheless, those that wish to face parallel societies in "ghettos" with too excessive a share of foreigners and wish to clear up the issue with the entire arrest of household reunification, are like this.

Frederiksen ventured on this black ice and didn't slip. Not but, as a result of it can not govern alone and it will depend upon their contestation within the asylum coverage of the "crimson block", regardless of the bulk in parliament on the votes of the opposition. This makes them black obtainable. The brand new social democratic authorities is most definitely not totally ready, given that you could already see the breaking level.
