🛂 Passports

A ministry is unable to explain how four individuals were granted citizenship, an admission that has arrived at an awkward moment for the government. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has just secured a compromise on a separate, long-running dispute over naturalisation rules; she defended the deal as a matter of simple reasonableness. The right-wing opposition appears less interested in consensus. The Conservatives have flatly rejected a proposal for a new bourgeois convention to unify the bloc, a snub that leaves the Danish People's Party looking for a new plan. Meanwhile, the capital's political circles are occupied by a newly published and notably sharp portrait of Søren Gade, the Speaker of the Folketing, which details how a career once defined by talent has soured. The fallout from the leak of 8.8 million personal identification numbers has reached the high street, where pharmacies have been told to verify identities with extra care before handing over prescriptions. In other data troubles, a ministry stands accused of concealing information about the status of 100,000 homes, while a new study suggests that one in four children is growing up without a sense of community.
