Since coming to power in June 2015, the only focus of Denmark’s current government seems to be immigration.

From the publishing of controversial advertisements in Lebanese newspapers, to breaking promises to Green Card holders, making life harder for foreigners and their Danish spouses, and introducing a citizenship test that not even the natives can pass, this government seems hell-bent on destroying the image of this lovely country.
The Venstre government, along the rabidly anti-immigration Danish People's Party (DF), is locking every door possible in a bid to keep foreigners out. Their wish is to make Denmark as white as possible, as evidenced by DF's much-discussed advertisement campaign over the summer.
Now the government has released its 2025 Plan and announced its intentions to introduce even more restrictions on the immigrants who already call Denmark home. It also wants to make the nation even less attractive to newcomers at a time when asylum numbers and overall immigration are already down, thanks to previous rounds of 'tightening', as the government likes to call it.
This is a total disgrace to the Danish values of acceptability and multiculturalism.
