The Danish Prime Minister has "pulled the rug out from under" his Minister for Integration, reports Politiken. On March 8, Lars Løkke Rasmussen (Liberal Party) sacked Birthe Rønn Hornbech (Liberal Party), who was allegedly responsible for the practically systematic refusal of citizenship applications filed by young stateless persons, mostly Palestinians. He also announced the creation of a commission of inquiry. Politiken hopes that this commission will establish the responsibilities held by other ministers and senior officials. The daily is calling for answers before the parliamentary elections, which are to be held no later than November 12: “That way the voters themselves will deliver the final verdict on the government's immigration policy."
