On Wednesday, you will get to vote (if you have Danish citizenship) on the future of Denmark in Europe. See here the main argument from every political party:
- Venstre (Liberals): Vote Yes, so that Denmark can take responsibility. Should we be a country that looks at others on how they take responsibility or should we participate?
- SF (Socialists): Vote Yes, because we should stand together in Europe, especially when we are threatened by Russia and China. We need to organize to be able to defend ourselves.
- Nye Borgerlige (Libertarian Nationalists): Vote No, because we know what we have. We don’t know what’s coming if we change things.
- Liberal Alliance (Libertarians): Vote Yes, so that Denmark can participate in European military cooperation.
- Socialdemokratiet (Social Democrats): Vote Yes, because we need to stand together against Russia.
- DF (Social Nationalists): Vote No, because the EU already decides too much. We have NATO that secures our freedom. We don’t need more EU.
- Alternativet (Green Progressives): Vote Yes, because we should be at the decision-making table when our common defense and security strategy is discussed.
- Radikale Venstre (Social Liberals): Vote Yes, because we should take responsibility for Europe’s safety and security.
- Konservative (Conservatives): Vote Yes, as the Danish Parliament will further be able to say “yes” or “no” to participation in military missions. At the moment, it can only say “no”.
- Enhedslisten (Red-Green Alliance): Vote No, as Danish soldiers should not be sent on missions down in Africa.
- Frie Gronne (Free Greens): Vote Yes, because we don’t lose sovereignty, we actually gain the power to shape the future of Europe.
- Moderaterne (Moderates): Vote Yes, because we cannot always rely on the USA to protect us, especially when they elect presidents like Donald Trump.
