“Migration and brexit when Løkke meets Video:”
“the prime minister of Denmark Lars Løkke Rasmussen visiting Sweden and prime minister Stefan Löfven (S).”
“Migration is one of the issues that are on the program today, an area where some argue that Sweden closer to Denmark’s tough approach to refugees. Others believe that countries rather stand a long time away from each other than before.”
“Denmark has through the years had a significantly tighter policy than Sweden. But as a result of the refugee crisis in 2015, Sweden in order to tighten asylum policy, among other things, by a temporary, stricter law for a residence permit.”
“Whether the uk is closer to its neighbour when it comes to refugee policy are difficult to answer. Both yes and no, think Ann-Sofie Dahl, associate professor of international politics and among other things, pegged to the us think tank Atlantic Council.”
“– When in Sweden closed the borders and strained the was a more tougher policy in Sweden, but it is not the case that Sweden consciously approached Denmark. It was reality that forced the policy. Now there is a more generous attitude from the government Löfven, but it does not depend primarily on the social democrats. Rather, it is the green Party and the Centre party, which runs through it, ” she says.”
“instead, It is the rhetoric rather than the policy as changed. The harsh words against Denmark’s refugee policy has been toned down, think Ann-Sofie Dahl.”
“– You spoke earlier about Denmark in harsh terms, that is a terrible inhumane society. The tone has disappeared the last few years and is not talking about Denmark in the same way, ” she says.”
“Farther apart”
“Ann-Sofie Dahl rather that the Swedish and the Danish refugee policy has gone in different directions.”
“– It feels like the distance has increased again between Sweden and Denmark. It is about the immigration at completely different levels and talking about it in completely different ways in these two countries.”
“in Addition to the migration is expected the prime minister to talk about brexit, the EU budget and rättstatsfrågor. According to the government, shall Löfven and his Danish counterpart will also discuss security in the local area and the nordic cooperation.”
