- The Danish government wants to get rid of what they’re calling “ghettos” by forcibly resettling residents. But people are fighting back, and want to bring the issue to the European Court of Human Rights.

Really?! He came into a society that payed for his stay, his children education and so much more and he’s complaining about this?
Ungrateful is an understatement.
I hope that the rest of Europe follows suit. Let Denmark lead the way!
@@Horizon429They are fighting racism by helping them integrate better.
@@Horizon429 That's a racist statement. Do better.
Coexistence is only possible through cohabitation.
Segregation will not help coexistence, even if this is a case of self-segregation.
Nope
We've already done stuff like this in Spain. 'Leyes anti-gueto'. 👍
35 years in Denmark and still living in social housing.. wtf
As does so many, many other Danish citizens.
@@JanBruunAndersen i understand but we can give social housing to everyone.. and i understand for the first years but after a while they should contribute to the guest country, not making babies if they can feed them and living of social security.. wtf
@@ksrawat88 and it shouldn't be like that.. here in italy there were a period where they give houses first to them only bc they had 4/5 kids in the meantime.
@@ksrawat88 An 800 euro rent is hardly free.
@@pieroo7 5 kids is average for them.. 3 and 4 wives and many kids they will overtake normal population in few years .. sooner you stop this nonsense better
Singapore also prevents ethnic residential areas from forming, so in their public housing, you have diverse residents.
And that would be such an interesting community to live and work in!
We do this in Spain too. You come here to be integrated, not to try to make a mini-caliphate.
Denmark is doing what must be done. Europe should be following this very model.
I dont agree with their reasoning, but i agree like u do with their policy.
If immigrants are "balled" together, then incredibly poor areas are automaticly made and we all know poverty begets poverty. This law will prevent this by breakung these communities up.
This might be hard for the older generation but the children will have a brighter future ahead of them
This is not what is supposed to be done in a free and democratic society. Everyone has the right to choose and decide for themselves. This is called racially profiling.
Racist
@@TSheikh-u6mMuslims are choosing based on their 1400 year old book. They aren't free.
What’s the point of emigrating only for people to continue living as they lived in their home country? Then, why leave? Integrate with the society of the country you chose to live in. As simple as that. Be part of the community!
Nope! I migrated to Sweden 30 years in order to work here. I have no interest in going out and become drunk on Valborgsmässoafton, or sing and dance Små Grödarna at midsummer eve, or eat hotdogs with shrimp salad on top.
@@JanBruunAndersen How nice? leech money and don't participate, you sir are part of the problem . Extract money and destroy community
@@JanBruunAndersen That's on you, man. Totally fine if that's your choice. Just be sure not to get violent when someone burns or mocks your religion/holy book. Deal?
@@disdoncable - oh, that's easy enough since I an atheist at hearth. If someone insist on asking me about my religion I usually tell them that I worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

@@JanBruunAndersen You don't get it. The fact you're familiar with Swedish customs and holidays (and can spell them properly) already shows that you've made the effort to integrate somewhat.
Now, if you start claiming that they're blasphemous because they're not in YOUR holy book...

Why didn't you integrate when you invaded the Native Americans, Native Australians, Indians, Iraqis, Afghanis, Syrians, Yemenis, and many more countries?

@@sabrinarodrigues629 No, don't be ridiculous.
These self-made ghettos are a symptom of human nature (see next paragraph). But self-made ghettos create a problem of self-segregation. Segregation is detrimental to integration. So to create a peaceful society, we have to create districts where we live among one another, go to the same schools, and work at the same workplaces. We don't want an auto-apartheid in Denmark.
If you've ever been on vacation to popular tourist destinations, you should know that people of certain backgrounds tend to flock together. This creates districts in which societies of people with similar languages or origins are gathered. Tourist ghettos, if you will.
You also see it in America with Italians creating districts consisting of Italian immigrants, and so on. It's a natural human process.
@@Thor.Jorgensen germans for example integrated so seamlessly into the American society because they spread so much across the entire mid west.
@@sabrinarodrigues629 yeah yeah, because its always nato that has that specific problem, isnt it? not latin america, not china, not africa, but yeah, surely the euros could not be wrong, could they?
So muhamed aslam lives in denmark for a long time and still, state provides him housing?
I dont know his work history or anything but the housing could just be affordable housing that anyone can apply for and you get the apartment based on how long you have waited in a queue system. He may be retired right now so he is living off his pension. Once again I dont know if he has worked his entire life or if he received social aid. Not making any assumptions here.
As for the state providing him temp housing. Scandinavian countries have a law that protects tenants and if anyone is forced evicted they are to be provided with temporary housing.
Obviously, in this case because of the renovations temp long term housing was set up and once the renovations are finished tenants are offered the unit first and if they accept the renovated unit at the higher rent level they can move in. If they do not accept the higher rent or cannot afford it then they will be provided with something else that meets their income levels. Obviously, it sucks that someone has lived in a particular spot and unit for so long and is being forced to move but it is directly related to non integration. Some immigrant families never learn the language instead relying on their children to learn it.
@@EirikAmundsen It is about integration and assimilation. We have the Nordic Model of Society (NMS) here, a model built on trust which is built on homogeneity. Without homogeneity there can be no trust. Demark is basically a very old and very small tribe, if you want to join our tribe you need to integrate in the short run assimilate in the long.
No. It might be social housing but isn't necessarily owned by the government. Just under tight regulation to ensure cheap housing is available.
@@Carewolf There are only a very minor amount of apartment units spread out in different counties that are directly owned by the local government. These are often only for temporary housing for women or for long term housing for handicap or anyone with a diagnos like asphergers.
Housing meant to be affordable goes through a state agency that releases them to people who have waited in queue long enough. The renter still pays rent directly to a private company that owns the apartment. You never have anything to do with the state agency again.
He was never much of a worker.
The removal is against closed communities, and prevent anti intergration of society.. Denmark is doing to protect A Danish society.
Your home country is Pakistan. Your soul is still there. You are the reason all immigrants like me face this.
C'mon, "your soul is still there" is not a serious argument.
Funny you say that. To the Danes, you immigrants are all the same.
Sir, the impression I got from 0:57 was that this man is -- (or at least refers to himself as) -- a Danish citizen. Should that indeed be the case, at the minimum a question needs to be framed and directed towards the Danish immigration authorities as to WHAT criteria or yardstick it was, which the bureaucrats sitting in the Danish immigration department used to qualify a man like him to be eligible for a privilege like citizenship of Denmark?
@@asifiqbal2776 Well, that's only a matter of checking the Danish legislation on what it takes to become a citizen but I can surely guess time living in the country and good language proficiency should be 2 of the most important criteria.
@@soundscape26 My understanding is that granting a privilege like citizenship is not like using a rubber-stamp. It is granted strictly on a case-by-case basis; once the authorities satisfy themselves that they are doing the right thing.
Germany must also follow this example
Yes
Denmark is showing the way in how to be intolerant of intolerance.
Still no sharia in Denmark, they are all intolerant. What against gods law?
The Singapore model... its just that Singapore did this few decades ago.
Incorrect. This has been a discussion topic since the 1990s. The law was finally passed in 2015.
We follow the Nordic model here.
Some American cities did the same in areas with high gang violence.
I am disapointed the video did not provide us with any statistics. The polititian described violence, drugs, crime, gangs. The evicted man said it is rare. How about to show some numbers? How else should we get to know who is right? This was poor journalism.

Congrats to the Danish governament
"Racism" does not come into it, as that has been superseded by good old common sense !
"Bow down to my demands or I call you racist"😂
"Common sense" is only a synonyme for "my point of view".
Commons sense and islam😂
Common sense is a fallacy.
Self-made ghettos are part of human nature. You go to the people you have most familiarity with.
But to not become stagnant in poverty and isolation, you have to cohabitate.
The best future for them and for us is for them to live with us, to go to school with us, and to work with us.
Same homes, same schools, same workplaces.
We don't want an auto-apartheid anywhere.
Some nations call race to be only about genes. Other nations like USA and UK aplies the ethnick meaning to be race meaning. That undeveloped nations even call the portuguese and spanish and french and italians to be the latin race... For USA and UK language are race... And this midle east and north and west africans, from that green culture, take the USA and UK race meaning to use as a shield to force to spread their "culture".
It is good for their kids in the end, being around actual Danes
What you forgot here is that the criteria also include a certain amount of jobless ppl.
Of course, to begin with. But everyone can learn the language, and the customs and laws. And those who are able-bodied should be working, even if it's to sweep the street or collect garbage
or maintain the housing complex.
oh no free renovations.. how horrible.

Gentrification is never popular.
umm, not free. its almost 1200 euros per month.
Please, please we need more laws like this and more importantly a large-scale remigration program, ideally throughout Europe. This is how we can save our civilization and also make it more livable!
I am not sure you understand what this resettlement project is about. It's not "remigration".
This project moves most of the population out of the neighborhood and fills it with native Danish citizens. Those moving out will be living among Danish citizens elsewhere.
Self-segregation caused this. Segregation only causes strife.
@@Thor.Jorgensen Thor, I understand that, but in the West we really needs a remigration for the common good! Thank you for your comment.
@@stadtbekanntertunichtgut Alright, but this isn't remigration. This is integration. Please don't paint our Social Democracy as a fascist state. We don't take to that very kindly.
@@Thor.JorgensenI don't paint Denmark as a anything. Remigration has nothing to do with fascism, it is a necessary measure to maintain a society worth living in. Even more left-wing social democrats should not close their eyes to this truth, especially not if they want to stand up for workers, the middle and lower classes, because they are the first to suffer from mass migration to the West.
You cannot force people back to their native countries if they don't have any criminal record and even contribute to the country's economy.
I think Denmark found out about what happened the day before yesterday in Mannheim, Germany.
Its a law from 2015. The discussion about parallel societies and its effects on trust in our society, are proven by studies.
@@MsLUFCit kills me how almost everyone seems to think we 'suddenly' have problems
well done Denmark!
What's behind Denmark's forced resettlement of 'ghettos'?
Answer: Common sense.
and we only had to make a law to kinda go around their constitutionally protected rights
😂😂😂, I love when they say "my own country" but don't even know how to speak the language. In Portugal there's a community living here for more than three generations, kids with 16 years old don't know to speak Portuguese, how this people say this is their country? They never and never will became part of this country, cause they just want to push their ways into the new country they have conquered
I speak Danish, and I can tell you the guy speaks proper Danish. But don't let that get in the way of your prejudice.
same in america canada and australia, they never learned the natives languages nor respect the customs. they even believe those lands belong to them now
In Belgium some people can't talk to each other when one only speaks Flamish and the other one only French. Nevertheless they live as equal citizens in the same country. Of course you can be born in a place and say it's "your country", even when you don't speak every / the language.
@@mauxuwon6252 I see what you did there …
@@pommesschale5440 you mean the Belgium artificial made country that always had tensions between flemish and french communities? They live as equal because rule of law, economic freedom, christianity and an interconected european history. Now let me ask you, do you think that there is a problem when most of the crimes in a country are commited by a minority imported from other parts of the world which has a completely different vision of how a society should look?
For a few we all pay. Immigrants should be aware that they are ambassadors, that they represent the countries they come from. They have in their hands the chance to change the conception people have about them or keep feeding the stereotype and deepening the stigma.
100%
Ambassadors and politics will do nothing for us, expats, danes are doing something to preserve what's theirs since always and, if anyone doesn't like what they are doing with THEIR country, a flight is always cheaper than rent in CPH
It's taken Scandinavia a little time but, common-sense seems to be catching. Immigration and the destruction of cultures, languages, and identities will not be tolerated.
Racist
@@katarn999
...and a badge one wears with pride!
@@katarn999we are racist. Are you offended?
You can't compare Denmark to the rest of Scandinavia here. Denmark has an opt-out from EU migration politics e.g. and it shows. As opposed to Sweden, we've been on top of the problems for a very long time here in Denmark.
NOT! As long as people from other cultures want to build a mini-nation of identity with that culture, instead of assimilating into the nation they are taking advantage of, corrective action is not racism. True racism would be denying them entry because of their color.
Just to be clear. Ethnic makeup is not part of the criteria that define of a ghetto. This is a misunderstanding.
The so called ghetto list consists of social housing with high unemployment and high crime rate.
The idea is to spread out social housing, so that inhabitants of social housing projects also meet people outside the social housing projects.

Well done Denmark
Segregation is wrong for what ever the reason. A lot people were immigrating, not assimilating. To have cohesion you must have integrated society and assimilation. Seems a lot of people want to migrate to westernized countries where there is proper sanitation, education, acceptance of all, and yet carve out a society of their own that are none of these things while not working, and yet demanding everything be handed to them while they contribute nothing. Denmark among others are seeing this now and working to fix the problem. If you don't like the rules or customs of a country, don't migrate there and expect them to change for you.
Having to move from one appartment to another is a pathetic first world problem. I don't own any place and I had to move many times in my life. I know what it is like. It is inconvenient, but it is not a problem worth being covered by news. Unlike most people in most countries, he was provided with another appartment to live in. That is a privilege, but he considers it a discrimination. Having to move from one appartment to another is not a human rights violation.
I dont see any problems here
Of course not. It doesn't affect you.
They are professional complainers
Dont live Like Arap 1500 years ago.try to adopt society or go and live where sheria is
DW, did you intentionally report an ambiguous sentence like this one at 2:32 and to what end? Please report statistics; -- NOT statistics "according to Mohammed Aslam".
I also missed statistics in the video. Very poor job.
We have a place in Singapore. Every once in a while, the government will state that they are going to tear your building down and rebuild and they will give you options to move to a new building. Wouldn't you love to move from a 30-year-old building to new construction?
What Denmark is doing good for the society and also the tenants. This reminds me how in US we tried to make similar changes with positive results.
Mr. Aslam must be credited for speaking Danish and also expressing himself to be a Dane. These are very important steps. He will also see that it doesn't count for everyone in these parts of the city. Nobody ever said that everyone's a criminal that comes from there, and then the question remains: What alternatives does he see? Here in Sweden I can see with my own eyes that in some parts of my town different standards seem to apply. It seems to me that the people living in these parts basically went on to live like they did in the country they were born. And yes, speaking the language helps, it helps a lot. How one can feel at home in a new country without being able to understand the people around you is beyond me. Even more the reason to remain with your country relatives.
Segregation is so terrible in Sweden, and it's not just the immigrants' fault it seems.
I have a friend who's Swedish, but ethnic Persian. He lives in Stockholm in a somewhat well-off, but nearly purely immigrant area! Here in Germany, at least the well-off, integrated immigrants live mixed with ethnic Germans. But when I visited him, I was pretty much the only blonde person out of hundreds of people that I saw. It's crazy.
I don't know why the area is so segragated. It's not Rinkeby or Tensta, it's an actually nice area with tech companies, shopping venues, a uni campus, and beautiful nature.
Yet, people from other areas of Stockholm often reacted slightly weirdly when I said I was going to that part of the city.
My friend also thinks that this segregation is so problematic. I asked him about his opinion on the Danish model, and from what I told him, he actually liked the idea overall because it's better than ongoing segregation. He and his family wouldn't be affected anyway because they're owning, not renting, but still.
The real solution is making sure that no one gets into the country unless they have a job, business, speak the language and are ready to respect the laws or have a means of surviving in the country
One country will be your home country when you were actually integrated there!
Parallel societies are bad. Maybe instead of complaining, they should get jobs.
Denmark is the only country in Europe that is at least doing something about the migration crisis.
You will get a new apartment.. wtf.. where is the problem?😂😂😂
Ask that question again when the state forces you to leave your appartment.
@@pommesschale5440 Social housing. You want it, you do wat the state tells you.
They complain about allla😂😂😂
@@trildi Social housing doesn't mean you are lawless.
@@pommesschale5440 Does this seem like punishment? Most of those who are moving out will be granted better housing at a lower rent to boot with additional resettlement funds.
The project is about spreading the population evenly and combat segregation.
This was a case of self-segregation, which is only natural. But even if the segregation came to be naturally, segregation is prone to social strife. We need to live together, go to school together, and go to work together.
Coexistence requires people to cohabit.
What is the point of immigrating from your country to another and trying to change it? If you want to continue to live like in Pakistan than live in Pakistan.
For example in my country there are certain things that I don't like, for example loose regulation and less strict measures from police, so I'm willing to relocate a country where there are stict laws and strong police that keeps regulations.
If you go someone's house you have to follow their rules, if it's against your values then go to places where there is similar mentality.
"my home country, Denmark"
nope. If your last name is Aslam, very slim chance Denmark would be your home country.
Dual citizen most likely.
@@soundscape26 possibly, but your "home country" is not just a system that issues a passport and social security number.
your home country is what formed your mind, thinking, spirit, soul and so much else.
@@duncansmith7562please explain to me how a name eliminates the possibility of any of that applying to a certain person. Because it really just seems like a convoluted way to say they'll never be good enough to be a person in my eyes
@@FordRangerClassics a last name like "Aslam" doesn't eliminate the possibility, but it makes such a possibility very slim.
Given that Aslam is from a community that seeks to replicate their traditional home life in the new host country, there is only a slim chance that Denmark is his "home country". He is Danish only in that he lives there and has the papers to say he is Danish, but his heart and soul won't be Danish. If Aslam had to write an essay on the true nature of what it is to be Danish, he wouldn't have a clue what to say.
Aslam is good enough to be a person in anybody's eyes, because Aslam is a person, but Aslam ain't no Danish person, just as George Orwell was never an Indian, agreed?
This is the only way forward. These neighbourhoods are filled with misery, criminality and parallel unofficial law based on Islam. It is a threat to our society and can't be allowed. Europe must follow suit.
They just reported that only 3% of residents had a criminal record. Tough luck for the other 97%, isn‘t it? Let‘s see how you would feel when being evicted because your neighbor three blocks down did something wrong.
Too late but GOOD. Integration should would always a prerequisite for immigrants, not an option.
Mohammed Aslam saying this was never a parallel society meanwhile he dresses and acts like the textbook definition of.a parallel society.
I don't understand. If you only want to live amongst your own culture-race-religion, then why move to Europe? The whole point in moving is to experience something new.
They move to Denmark because Denmark is very rich and has super generous welfare.
He is not a Dane, but a Pakistani, it's that simple. Not many Danes, if any, describe him as a countryman. If I met him in Pakistand I would think a local citizen.
It's likely that he's a dual citizen.

@@holgerandersengrn3457 Sure, a Danish citizen if you prefer. That's the best you can aspire to when moving to another country, to have the same rights as locals.
Same rights as a local comes with the same duties as a local, and if most locals voting under the same conditions do not consider you one of them, then you're not. In the end the government actions are backed up by the people, that doesn't happen often and I think it's an example to follow
We will see how his new policy will change the lives of the people in the ghettos longterm. There is a good chance that the lives of the children will improve in other school districts and they get to have more job and social opportunaties in other neigbourhoods
Replace cheap rents with 3 k euro a month rents . This has nothing to do with ghettos.
All i see is just an other part of copenhagen where a normal income family will never have acces to anymore. They could have done 100 things to fight drugs and criminality befor this , for the rich people of copenhagen and political class drugs and criminality and minorities is an asset used as an excuse to develop the areas in innacesible prices . Like christiania , like norrbro ghettos etc . Fredericksberg and sydhavn next .
Or may be work hard and build your house ..
@@ShakibBaig1 No we still strive toward expanding affordable housing in Denmark. The government has pledged to not gentrify the area. The project is simply about making Danes live with immigrants and to make immigrants live with Danes. This way they will integrate and become Danes, and Danes in turn will become more tolerant toward immigrants once we fill the same schools and the same workplaces together.
Your missing the whole point, its about assimilation into Denmark versus remaining separate with your fellow countrymen..
my indian smart friend , a house in copenhagen is like 3 million euro take it easy.
He's blessed to get a new apartment from the government. Here in America he might be sleeping in his car or van, on the sidewalk or living in a tent. Good job Denmark. Don't be like Sweden or even us in the US, because we have ghettos too that we created. Spread them out.
Oh the terrible suffering of the people who came to the country and are now forced to live among its citizens 😭😭😭
This is not about racism. It's about culture and ideology.
So they are moving them into areas where Danes live? Ruining nice neighborhoods is not a solution.
Creating ghettos is arguably worse.
I think its good, better way to mix between eachother, so hopefully more cohesion and understanding
Fantastic. Data Driven, simple decision which will 100% make a better life for all involved. Taking a family from those units to a better neighborhood. Foolish point of view of these guys trying to fight a law that’s meant to help the people in a whole. Selfish of a select group of few old people whome want to stay. Should open the USA populations eyes of how these oldies act.
I don't get it - He gets to stay where he's been living for 35 years, and he even gets his home completely renovated. He was living in a place where probably 80% of the people living there were from the middle-east. The people had very little incentive to ever leave that neighborhood. Is immigrating into the rest of the country really such a big deal for you? If so, what are you even doing here?
I am an immigrant to Europe from Africa. I only knew what the fool i was when i stopped socialising with people from my culture and started integrating with Westerners. Culture matters and if you dont want to integrate in Western society, then dont migrate to Western countries. I am a proud African but there are lots of things about my African culture that i have completely abandoned and have fully embraced Western values for my own good.
Did he Buy the apartment? If he didn"t he has NO right to complain.

@@ShieldToad-mk2rp This is why home ownership should be affordable for everyone who has a job.

He is privileged and considers it a discrimination.
This is so shameless. There's an Albanian saying, you don't check the teeth of the horse that was given to you. Just be grateful they're giving you free housing. You even have pretentions where this housing should be. This is the peak of shamelessness..
Wow these peaceful residents look so brilliant.

1:20 Mohammad has been here for 35 years and he never got the family their own home? He's been living in an apartment for very little all this time, and he's mad that he's had to go to another one while the renovate it?
He came for that 😂 and many abduls on the way
I can only see a ungrateful person who wants shariya law
It would be more helpful to describe what problems the ghetto had and what are the possible solutions - the one being realised just now and some alternative ones, than to follow one man complaining about having to move out from an appartment that was never his while being provided another appartment to live in.
Good, assimilation or leave
*integration
Assimilation means completely abandoning everything from your original culture and upbringing. By that standard, not even my family is completely assimilated in Germany. We have some Swedish roots and several relatives living in Sweden, and that left its marks. We call lingonberry Lingon instead of Preiselbeeren, we eat a lot of Swedish baked goods like kardamummebullar, and I call my paternal grandparents farmor and farfar, not Oma and Opa. Apart from that we're German. I'm just about 10% ethnically Swedish, and 80 to 90% German.
So should I leave the country I was born in? Just because my family is not fully assimilated?
I am a western immigrant to Denmark (ethnically western European with U.S. and Irish citizenship) and I fully support this initiative. This guy talks about how important the sense of community is, but at the same time has refused to integrate with the Danish community. A few years ago, the city of Copenhagen released crime statistics comparing data from the criminal court system from the early 2000s versus the late 2010s (I cannot remember the exact years cited). But for the first year cited, there were less than 1,000 criminal cases tried in the city court system, and about 50% of the defendants were non-western immigrants. So approximately 500 western immigrant defendants, and 500 non-western immigrant defendants. By the year the second set of statistics were calculate, there were around 4,000 criminal cases tried in the city courts, and over 85% of the defendants were non-western immigrants. So that means about 600 western immigrant defendants, and around 3,400 non-western immigrant defendants. Those statistics were real eye openers. Crime has skyrocketed in Denmark, and as much as it may be hard to swallow for people who lean left, like myself, the data shows that it really is non-western immigration that is the cause (Copenhagen is still an extremely safe city, especially when compared with other western cities, but crime is definitely skyrocketing compared to what it used to be). Denmark works really hard to ensure immigrants can integrate in to Danish society. As an immigrant, I have experienced it first hand. There is no excuse for not being able to function in Danish society. Those who don't are the ones who have contempt for the Danish community.
Denmark is going well.
The whole Europe should follow suit.
If he and his wife dress like they are still in Pakistan after living in Demark for 35 years, i think integration program is absolutely necessary. Especially the fact that he is the spoke person and the communicator with governments. The group of people against the policy could not find a more integrated person shows how they disconnected with the country they live in.
This reminds me of what Robert Moses did in New York in the 1950s and 60s…
Wow.. They are standing for their own citizens.. 🎉
Why is governance in Europe (EU, national & local) so often 'on the backfoot', reacting to the reality of migration rather than planning for harmony in society?
Why plan for something that will never happen?
From one hand this guy has a point but from the other it’s not his property. All this houses belongs to state and they decide what they gonna do with it.
The world is changing very fast. It's time to make home country better than to cause trouble back home and flee overseas to find stress.
Fun time is over. The babyboom generation lived in a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity. But by letting people in that have different values by the merit of simply growing up elsewhere strain upon the society started to appear. With the Babyboom generation checking out the next generation is taking over to correct the errors that were made. Undoubtedly new faults will be made as a result but that is what being human means - fixing the mistakes of the past to make whole new mistakes. Still - it seems Europe has chosen.
MY HOME COUNTRY 😂😂😂😂
it's laughable
That's where he lives for 3 decades now... title fits.
Bravo Denmark! His home country = Pakistan
As an American, I think this is a brilliant move on the part of a government that's not afraid to admit an error and to do much better. Perhaps they have learned from America's own mistakes. Your own country, your own culture and those who want to live peacefully come first.
I was there years ago. The local tax authorities right next to, had to move because of constant bombattacks, likely from the ghettos immigrant gangs. The only taxoffice in Denmark, who had security guards and metal detectors...
I agree with other commenters that there's not enough focus on the economic aspects here. Recent immigrants tend to live in "ghettos" or "ethnic enclaves" partly because that is where housing costs are cheapest, and because that's where they can get help from others who speak their language and who are slightly "ahead" in terms of getting a better job, learning to navigate public systems and so on. This was very much true for European immigrants to the US in the 19th and 20th centuries. It took multiple generations for those populations to become fully fluent in English, get educated, start intermarrying with other ethnicities, and gradually moving elsewhere. It's a pretty well-known pattern.
Thank you for saying this. Some of the things Danish people were saying in this video were said about European immigrants in the US, too, just 100 years ago.
Danes were new arrivals to become happy successful members of society, and having them live only amongst themselves has been a disaster
Denmark knows what their doing. Germany and other EU countries should follow this model.
Based on my humble experience, wherever these type of gentlemen and their highly-productive dames move in, everybody else flees. This is how 'ghettos' form. Noise, garbage, scandals, crime etc. are their constant companion. Be my guest and try to reason with them. Those used to be working class neighborhoods, you see what they turned into. This is why, before moving into a new apartment, it is a good practice to look at the names on the door bells.
Singapore has similarl laws and results show it has successfully managed
Bravo Denmark!
Its Not ur home country!!
So you just found out people could move between countries? Almost everybody knows someone who lives abroad.
@@soundscape26
It's still not ur home country
@@RatTerminator So what?
@@RatTerminatorDoes that give you justification to treat people like this?
@@RatTerminator Home country is different from native country. Basic stuff, mate.
So Kristiania is being cleaned out as well? Denmark do have a long history with parallel societies.
Kristiania has also been forced to change. There is also the difference, in Kristiania it is not like the ppl are living in Kabul. They do not cause lowered trust in society by existing. It is hardly even a parallel society
Excuse me, it's "Christiania". Kristiania is in Oslo.
Christiania isn't a parallel society. It was a societal experiment granted by the Danish government via a communal "Lokalplan" followed by the Christiania Law passed in 1989 which officially legalized the existence, although without recognition of the Free Town.
Alas, it remains a tourist attraction, and not many people live there. Those who do live there are mostly elderly hippies.
I am against it
In all nordic countries immigrants are excluded from certain neighborhoods and end up in segregated areas. Not in Denmark, which I see as a positive.
Sounds like “busing “ in the US. They wanted to diversify and integrate, kind of like the parallel societies.
We do need to push back against negative social behaviour caused by insular groups.
Firmly but gently.
It is ok to say no we don’t want that sort of thinking in our society.
Some of the middle eastern cultural practices & thinking are unhealthy. It needs to be honestly discussed.
The same goes for western countries. The bad stuff needs to be openly acknowledged and discussed
