Episode description

This week, we delve into a heated debate that's capturing attention across the nation: Should Denmark vet the democratic values of citizenship applicants through personal interviews? We explore the unprecedented case where three applicants were summoned for interviews based on their past social media posts, raising questions about legal principles, fairness, and human rights.

All foreigners in the country need to keep up with this story! To help you understand the issue Derek is joined by Norwegian comedian Dharshika Christopher who also a legal background. The two explore what implications lie ahead from these unprecedented interviews. They discuss the broader impact on Denmark's democratic identity, the legal and ethical concerns surrounding this process, and how it affects all of us living in Denmark.

Tune in for an important conversation about fairness, legal principles, and the arbitrary concept of "Danish democratic values".
