Opposition party the Socialist People’s Party (SF) says it will vote in favour of any proposal to ban circumcision of boys.
Denmark’s three largest parties – the Social Democrats, Danish People’s Party and the Liberal party – are yet to take a firm stance over the issue.
But SF, which currently has seven seats in Denmark’s parliament, says it would vote in favour of a minimum age for male circumcision, reports Radio24syv.
“If we are to vote on a minimum age for circumcising boys, and I think that will happen, then SF will vote in favour,” health spokesperson Kirsten Normann Andersen told the radio station.
Around 37,000 people in Denmark have so far signed a petition to parliament asking for a minimum age of 18 to be introduced for male circumcision.
