الدنمارك: حزب يميني يتراجع عن رفض تجنيس المسلمين

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أعرب "سورين ديسبيرسن" - نائب رئيس حزب الشعب الدنماركي اليميني - عن تراجع الحزب عن التصريحات التي أشارت إلى رفضه قانون منح الجنسية لمن لديهم جنسية أخرى، للحيلولة دون تجنيس المسلمين ورفض الترحيب بالمهاجرين المسلمين.

وقد أشار "ديسبيرسن" في تصريحاته لصحيفة "كوبنهاجن بوست" إلى أن التصريحات السابقة تعرضت للتضخيم والمبالغة؛ مما أثار حفيظة المسلمين واستنكار العديد من السياسيين الذين أكدوا ترحيب البلاد بالمسلمين، وتساءلوا إذا ما كان من الممكن أن يصدر الحزب اليميني نحو هذه التصريحات تجاه المهاجرين اليهود؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Danish Far-right Withdraws Muslims Insult

A far-right Danish party has withdrawn its anti-Muslim comments after coming under fire from politicians and the Muslim community in the Nordic country.

“That expression is perhaps exaggerated,” Søren Espersen, deputy of the right-wing Danish People's Party (DPP), told The Copenhagen Post on Sunday, December 22.

“I thought that myself when I saw what he said.”

The troubles erupted last week when DPP announced its plans to vote against the bi-annual citizenship law that grants hundreds of Muslims the Danish citizenship.

The far- right party claimed that 'too many' Muslim immigrants were not welcomed in the Denmark.

The citizenship list included 422 Iraqi and Afghani Muslims, who were vehemently rejected by DPP although they have accomplished their citizenship's procedures.

Despite DPP's opposition, the Danish parliament has voted unanimously in favor of the bi-annual citizenship bill on Thursday.

According to the Danish law, the parliament has the right to grant the citizenship twice a year.

The DPP's anti-Muslims remarks are not the first.

Earlier in 2013, the DPP was sued after producing an anti-immigration advertisement which has branded 700 new citizens as suspected terrorists.

In 2007, the DPP, the third-largest political force in Denmark, has put forward a string of draft laws calling for a ban on hijab in public places and denying Muslims special worship areas in the workplace.

The party has also called for a ban on halal meat in daycare centers and on separate locker rooms for Muslim schoolgirls.
