The Danish parliament passed a law on Thursday 3 June that makes it possible to move asylum seekers from Europe as soon as they set foot on Danish soil.
The Social Democrat Mette Frederiksen has made a transfer of asylum requests, which all European right-wingers dream of. Theoretically, all asylum seekers arriving in Denmark will be immediately put on a plane to Rwanda, Eritrea or any other third country that has agreed to process their request, of course for a fee.
If it is accepted, the refugee is not even sure of returning to Denmark. And if it is refused, it is up to the third country to send the rejected person back to their country of origin.
The Nordic kingdom, which already has a very restrictive migration policy, wants to make promises to its extreme right, very powerful.
Human rights groups are worried about what could mean the end of the right to asylum if other countries use the same procedure. But beyond the symbol, the question already arises of the real scope of this measure, knowing that just under 1,500 people had applied for asylum in Denmark by 2020.
Rwanda says it has not committed itself to receiving asylum seekers from Denmark
