Denmark is facing criticism over significant delays in the construction of a vital shipyard intended for new naval vessels, a situation described as "incredibly poor judgment" that impacts national defense capabilities. This comes as the government also grapples with a record-high backlog in citizenship applications.
Public opinion is sharply divided on immigration, with a new poll indicating a widespread belief that "undemocratic foreigners" should not be granted Danish citizenship. This sentiment adds to the pressure on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, whose handling of the citizenship queue is under scrutiny.
In other domestic news, law enforcement is set to introduce stun guns nationwide, while a major fire near Copenhagen Airport required drone deployment. The Prime Minister's actions have also drawn direct criticism from a columnist, and a new report highlights a concerning resurgence of bullying in Danish schools.
