Mayors willing to accept ‘quota refugees’ once again

Excerpt:

For a number of years, Denmark habitually took in around 500 so-called quota refugees per year. However, in 2016 and 2017 none were accepted, and through a controversial law passed by a parliamentary majority last year this decision was reinforced to allow Denmark to refuse 1,500 refugees that otherwise had been allocated.

Now, a number of Venstre mayors have stated that the situation is so much under control that they can easily integrate quota refugees once again, reports DR Nyheder.

“We’ve had breathing space and we’re definitely ready to take more UN quota refugees,” said Hans Ejnar Bertelsen, the mayor of Morsø Municipality.
