It is not Conservative policy, that millions of africans come to Europe and Denmark.
It strikes multiple profiles from the party fast, and they therefore take the distance from Pernille Weiss’ announcement of migrants from Africa. Including the chairman Søren Pape Poulsen.
I would like to sound a note of doubt to the earth: It is NOT conservative policy, that there must be 10 million. africans to Europe. The EU must first and foremost focus on strengthening of control of external borders. Glad that @WeissPernille has clarified this last night #dkpol

the Party’s candidate at the head of the European parliamentary Elections says to Berlingske that the european UNION must strengthen cooperation with Africa, so european companies can more easily attract the necessary labour. And that ten million migrants do not frighten her in the connection.

Both political rapporteur Mette Abildgaard (K) and children’s and social security Mai Mercado (C) take the distance from the melding.
It writes they are both on Twitter.
I spilled coffee down myself in the morning of pure amazement over the Pernille Weiss in @berlingske It is not @KonservativeDK policy. Important to have a focus on the social need for labor, but not by getting millions of africans to Dk #dkpol https://t.co/FxULpRWWNK

on Thursday night, when Weiss’ interview with the Berlingske showed up, wrote Abildgaard:
Let me make this very clear: 10 million. african migrants to Europe is not conservative policy! The impression one gets, unfortunately, from @WeissPernille in the @telegraph tomorrow. We need labor, but we must first and foremost take care in Denmark! #dkpol https://t.co/E0v7sNG5Mt

Migrants must not be seen as a threat, thinks Weiss.
– We are going in the EU to be missing over ten million pairs of hands in the coming years, says Weiss, to the Telegraph.
– If we are cold and blunt look at how in the future there will be an overpopulation, and where the population shrinks, so it goes without saying, that we must look in the best possible way to get stimulated to the people there, where there is space for them and need them.
– And where there is a society, which accepts them with a good starting point, instead of that we see migrants as a threat, says Weiss.
There is also not much help to be had from other parties. Nicolai Wammen, the political rapporteur for the Social democrats, said:
– Conservative now goes to the choice of opening Europe’s borders wide open to migration from Africa.
– All are welcome, and ten million new migrant scares not, it sounds from The Conservatives. It is a completely wild and deeply irresponsible message. The social democrats will instead ensure jobs for young people and the unemployed, he says.
DF-Søren Espersen notes on Twitter that Weiss with his announcement has come on the front page of Berlingske, but she hardly come to the European Parliament in Brussels.
