Laughter in Danish Parliament as the Prime Minister explains about the situation of their buy of Elephants from Circus after a ban was introduced. English subtitles
Actually this is silly and has nothing to do with the life or death issues the Danish Parliament is deciding in these strange times of Covid 19, which we are all hopefully surviving through...
@@jimmybags6598 Politicians where i live are people that you would meet in the local grocery store, buying the same products as you do. You must live in an unfortunate place.
@@Schdcdd Instead of mocking the commenter, you could try awake some discussion. People who have lost faith in democracy arent some tiny marginal group that can be fully ignored. In Finland I find it so dangerous, that both Left and right wingers have started talking against democracy, "due its so slow and unefficinient way to change politics" Its dangerous developement.
@@jimmybags6598 is that why wealth inequality and homelesness rates are so low in Denmark? Sure, some countries are like you described, but don't bother trying to find examples in the EU
For context: The woman is the Danish Prime (State) Minister This matter is about the ban of exotic circus animals. The elephants were owned by the circus and after the ban the state had to purchase them. The discussion however is about if the camel (Ali) should be bought as well with the elephants since it’s besties with one of the elephants (ramboline) and it would be a shame to not have them together lmao
It's a genuine concern for elephants tbh, they have very strong social bonds and losing their companions is psychologically on par with humans losing their lived ones. It's detrimental to the animals wellbeing, which was the reason for the circus ban in the first place!
To be fair its not trivial, we banned animals in circus, which then meant we compensated the circus's , and bouth the animals to release in some natural park. But when its in parlement it just sounds so stupid and even the parlement couldnt stop laugh about how stupid it sounds :) I love my country :)
Danish people are just nice and cool, dude. I bet even with serious matter they would approach it kindly in the parliament. And they say danish are cold and serious - nop, it's the other way around...
And this isn't question time, it's her state of the union speech, which constitutionally is the first one in the parlamentary year (right after electing the speaker).
@@leejamiemellor Yes Denmark is Scandinavian. There's other countries like Finland where if you're being pedantic they're technically not Scandinavian, they're Nordic. But in English you often call the Nordic countries Scandinavian. I don't see a problem with it.
it was because the parliament had made a law that outlawed certain animals in circus, such as elephants. Therefore they became illegal to own, but the parliament decided to purchase the elephants to compensate the former owners for their economic investment :)

And we have an open government, meaning your could have been there, the poplic can go inside and hear the government work, heavy control of course, and no comments is allowed, but open😁
I was thinking the exact same thing. To my Spanish ears it was like she were speaking Dutch because I lived in the Netherlands and the video reminded me of the way the people speak there but I understand niether Dutch nor Danish.
Im Danish I used to live in Amsterdam and i would say i can partly read Dutch newspapers without any knowlage about dutch. And im tempted to say if you have a Holland accent i can follow a bit of that aswell. But written Dutch and Danish to me, seems to overlap to some extend.
@@Mostly3swithfriends Nope. The word Parliament is a British word. Ever heard of the queens parliament? I assume you're referring to the ancient Greek oligarchies as parliamentary system which is incorrect.
Honestly m8, i think this is the first time in my life i seen the parliament react like this... Its pretty unusual even in Denmark. Usually its just bitch fight over words.
One famous Dane have said the following, and that saying is spot on. " What good is the government, but to help the weak? The strong ones will take care of them selfs" Late Kim Larsen.
It reminds me of the note hanging over the sink at my old job. "Workers are not there for the boss/leader. The boss/leader is there for the worker". I wish leaders would Motivate and Inspire! Be the example
The government/ all parties had past a law that prohibited wild animals in circus. They therefor offered (all the parties agreed) to buy them and replace them in wild life park or a zoo. So the prime minster is just informing how is going with the deal the made.
Man, when I was a kid I used to think that Finland was too small for me, that I wanted to live in the US because everything's so big and great and amazing there and everything cool comes from the US. Well, then I grew up, I got into politics and human rights and as someone who consumes a lot of Northern American media, especially American, I realized that things are so much better here that moving over there would be the worst thing I could do to myself and my future unless I have a company that does well. Then I'd have a chance to be one of the filthy rich.
Ofcourse we complain, you always think your situation could be better, but I wouldn't personally move away from northern Europe. First of all it is my ancestral home, and second of all it is a lovely part of the world to live in, and I feel fortunate to be born and raised here.
I would like to raise another point. There are a lot of vidoes on TH-cam comparing and contrasting different countries and it can sometimes get to a place that is pretty toxic. 'This country is better at... than this one' becomes 'this country is better then this one'. You can't think like that, it gives xenophobic people more statistics to use as arguments for hate. The value of cultures shouldn't be defined by it's GDP or homocide rate.
Mette Fredriksen our prime minister. 😂 I miss home and I miss the humbleness of the Danish culture. Don’t miss the weather though. 🇩🇰 the country that took me and family in and made us feel home at our most vulnerable moment in life. Takker mange gange.
@@orangedingo1619 Errr... This is a complicated question. As i see it, theres a big difference between an individual, and a very large group of people. A single person cannot affect any society greatly, neither culturally or economically. A single person can be nice or naughty, can contribute or vacuum to/from the society (and anything in between). A single person can be dealt with. A large group of people however has another effect. And true, i and many other native danes, have a concern for our old, fine danish culture, and for the economy aswell, as result of huge immigration. But this person, Indadeeq Mahmud, is grateful for what he has experienced in Denmark. I really appreciate to hear that! And why shouldnt i? Thats genuine and very nice of him to say that.
@@hannehansen7214 well your words confirm my statement. I definitely understand concerns with huge immigration..there is always some logic behind it. While i totally understand them i do not necessarily agree with them, not from moralistic point of view. In a pragmatic world the concern is always about the who comes first. Mahmud is grateful as a person who got a chance which is pretty good and some how expected. It still does not change the fact the Denmark is one of the most if not the most anti-immigration country with strict sometime inhumane rules when it comes to foreigners and asylum seekers Sweden for me is a country that started to witness the effect of pragmatism and there is a growing feeling against immigrants. It is sad to see this spread everywhere around the world. I had little faith in humanity. In love. And it saddens me to see it diminish slowly.
I just watched a docu about a Scottish woman visiting Norway. She talked to Norwegians and he said: "Here it is very different than for instance the UK, where 2 oppositions shout at each other, -not very useful...".

@@domsjuk who do you think put in your head the idea of anti-vax people r crazy and only a minority and lacking education? dont u think that this is an intentional thing? like planting the term "conspiracy theorist"?
@@sohibmohamed9548 I can only speak of my home country and to some extent the rest of Europe and other countries I know well. And at least here, these people are the minority (which current statistics of Covid vaccinations and my own experience working sideline in the med field, where I'm confronted with this topic on a daily basis, show among other things). There is of course a difference between the hardcore anti-vaxers and those just skeptical or anxious about vaccines, which is much more prevalent (either way, talking to them made me realize the reasons for their opposition is almost exclusively misunderstanding and just poor knowledge of things behind it. I believe some of them that they try to read and get informed, but they are often bad at checking sources and distinguishing different qualities of info). Now, the paradoxical and frankly infuriating thing about the former group is that they actually tend to be relatively educated (and relatively rich and relatively female), which probably makes them even more staunch in their stupid beliefs. Often they follow some dogmatic spiritual ideology, and they don't understand and often don't care about medical statistics, chemistry etc. even though most of them would be dead without all that, and people die because of their ignorance. The mother of a friend is such a person, relatively educated and successful in life, but nothing less than an esoteric nutcase, who lives in a make-belief world in that regard. She's been to Africa several times and you need certain mandatory vaccinations, e.g. against yellow fever, which is a relatively harsh one... she didn't blink an eye, as it stood in her way of traveling and getting spiritually enriched there, but she prevented her child from getting any of the recommended vaccinations and is staunchly against Covid-vaccines. She's a fucking hypocrite and an idiot, despite her status. And her circle of like-minded friends is no different. These people are the reason why we still have to care about measles, which had been basically eradicated here decades ago, and no doubt it's getting worse. Still they are small, but they echo loudly though social media (which is why I prefer not to promote the topic even further myself) and catch a lot of the naiver share of the latter group nowadays.
The fact that the camel actually didn’t like the elephant is the most hilarious surprising twist to the whole story! The danish government is probably like “then why in the world did we then bring him too?!”
Actually, the blond woman who crackes up at 1:44 - she IS the opposition and the joke is directed at her. She's anti-immigration and the PM was worried about the camel being named Ali. Self-ironi is an important element in Danish humour - even our fascists have it 🤣
Except the swedish parliament, huge elephant keep growing in the room every year when every parties (except Sweden Democrats) refuses talk about mass immigration.

Here is something emailed to me yesterday. It is from a message board. "I work for a global tech company headquartered in the Netherlands. It hosted an international symposium in early 2020 attended by employees from around the world, including some from the United States. After a series of talks on the first day attendees dined together at the venue. It was a pleasant evening until people began discussing universal healthcare and someone asked the three Americans at our table what they thought of it being implemented in America. One gravely replied that Americans will never be forced to learn Chinese, and of course everyone laughed politely at his joke - until he snarled, "You think that's _funny?!_ “ before he and the other Americans got up and left. This was no welder from Idaho. He was a senior manager, and a graduate from a prestigious business school. What do they teach them there?"
You can probably understand quite a lot of written Danish. You know English and German, so you just "fill in the gaps" with qualified guesses.... At least, that's how we go about Dutch 🤣 but spoken Danish unfortunately differs A LOT from written

Although Danes trash-talk our politicians and trust has gone a bit down, we still trust our politicians more than in most other countries.
And I see a lot of women in the parliament. It would be a rare sight for the indian parliament sadly:(
why use "Young" as a positive word here
And we have an open government, meaning your could have been there, the poplic can go inside and hear the government work, heavy control of course, and no comments is allowed, but open😁

Man this language is sounds familiar yet I understand nothing, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
We feel exactly the same about the dutch language which sounds like german to us, yet we understand nothing.
I was thinking the exact same thing. To my Spanish ears it was like she were speaking Dutch because I lived in the Netherlands and the video reminded me of the way the people speak there but I understand niether Dutch nor Danish.
Can't blame ya. To us Dutch sounds like a weird mix of German, English and a hint of Danish & Norwegian.
Im Danish I used to live in Amsterdam and i would say i can partly read Dutch newspapers without any knowlage about dutch. And im tempted to say if you have a Holland accent i can follow a bit of that aswell.
But written Dutch and Danish to me, seems to overlap to some extend.
We feel the same way! It has the same flat accent, at first it sounds so familiar, before you realize that you understand nothing
Finally I understand why the Danish Queen has those blue ribbons with elephants attached to them😂
Haha sadly no. It is called : The order of the elephant. It has it origins in the 15th century and has officially existed since1663

One famous Dane have said the following, and that saying is spot on. " What good is the government, but to help the weak? The strong ones will take care of them selfs" Late Kim Larsen.
👏👏
It reminds me of the note hanging over the sink at my old job. "Workers are not there for the boss/leader. The boss/leader is there for the worker".
I wish leaders would Motivate and Inspire! Be the example
The government/ all parties had past a law that prohibited wild animals in circus. They therefor offered (all the parties agreed) to buy them and replace them in wild life park or a zoo. So the prime minster is just informing how is going with the deal the made.
Thank you for the context.
You’re putting it completely correct. Yet it sounds too funny…
Sometimes I look at Scandinavian countries and I think to myself: if I was from there, the day that I start complaining - get rid of me.
Man, when I was a kid I used to think that Finland was too small for me, that I wanted to live in the US because everything's so big and great and amazing there and everything cool comes from the US. Well, then I grew up, I got into politics and human rights and as someone who consumes a lot of Northern American media, especially American, I realized that things are so much better here that moving over there would be the worst thing I could do to myself and my future unless I have a company that does well. Then I'd have a chance to be one of the filthy rich.
Ofcourse we complain, you always think your situation could be better, but I wouldn't personally move away from northern Europe. First of all it is my ancestral home, and second of all it is a lovely part of the world to live in, and I feel fortunate to be born and raised here.
The more you know: Norway has one of the world's highest suicide rates. But can't complain I guess :P
The oppression is just sugar coated here
I would like to raise another point. There are a lot of vidoes on TH-cam comparing and contrasting different countries and it can sometimes get to a place that is pretty toxic. 'This country is better at... than this one' becomes 'this country is better then this one'. You can't think like that, it gives xenophobic people more statistics to use as arguments for hate. The value of cultures shouldn't be defined by it's GDP or homocide rate.
Mette Fredriksen our prime minister. 😂 I miss home and I miss the humbleness of the Danish culture. Don’t miss the weather though. 🇩🇰 the country that took me and family in and made us feel home at our most vulnerable moment in life. Takker mange gange.
Søde ord 😊❤
Tusind tak Mahmud for de fine ord. Ønsker alt godt for dig og din familie.
I though denmark was anti-immigration??
@@orangedingo1619 Errr... This is a complicated question.
As i see it, theres a big difference between an individual, and a very large group of people.
A single person cannot affect any society greatly, neither culturally or economically. A single person can be nice or naughty, can contribute or vacuum to/from the society (and anything in between). A single person can be dealt with.
A large group of people however has another effect. And true, i and many other native danes, have a concern for our old, fine danish culture, and for the economy aswell, as result of huge immigration.
But this person, Indadeeq Mahmud, is grateful for what he has experienced in Denmark. I really appreciate to hear that! And why shouldnt i? Thats genuine and very nice of him to say that.
@@hannehansen7214 well your words confirm my statement. I definitely understand concerns with huge immigration..there is always some logic behind it. While i totally understand them i do not necessarily agree with them, not from moralistic point of view. In a pragmatic world the concern is always about the who comes first.
Mahmud is grateful as a person who got a chance which is pretty good and some how expected. It still does not change the fact the Denmark is one of the most if not the most anti-immigration country with strict sometime inhumane rules when it comes to foreigners and asylum seekers
Sweden for me is a country that started to witness the effect of pragmatism and there is a growing feeling against immigrants. It is sad to see this spread everywhere around the world. I had little faith in humanity. In love. And it saddens me to see it diminish slowly.

Must be nice... having an elephant and camel friendship being discussed in politics. You know... instead of anti-vax and the likes.

@@Softpaw1996 you think anti vaxers are new?
@@domsjuk you misunderstood my comment.
@@domsjuk who do you think put in your head the idea of anti-vax people r crazy and only a minority and lacking education? dont u think that this is an intentional thing? like planting the term "conspiracy theorist"?
@@sohibmohamed9548 I can only speak of my home country and to some extent the rest of Europe and other countries I know well. And at least here, these people are the minority (which current statistics of Covid vaccinations and my own experience working sideline in the med field, where I'm confronted with this topic on a daily basis, show among other things). There is of course a difference between the hardcore anti-vaxers and those just skeptical or anxious about vaccines, which is much more prevalent (either way, talking to them made me realize the reasons for their opposition is almost exclusively misunderstanding and just poor knowledge of things behind it. I believe some of them that they try to read and get informed, but they are often bad at checking sources and distinguishing different qualities of info). Now, the paradoxical and frankly infuriating thing about the former group is that they actually tend to be relatively educated (and relatively rich and relatively female), which probably makes them even more staunch in their stupid beliefs. Often they follow some dogmatic spiritual ideology, and they don't understand and often don't care about medical statistics, chemistry etc. even though most of them would be dead without all that, and people die because of their ignorance. The mother of a friend is such a person, relatively educated and successful in life, but nothing less than an esoteric nutcase, who lives in a make-belief world in that regard. She's been to Africa several times and you need certain mandatory vaccinations, e.g. against yellow fever, which is a relatively harsh one... she didn't blink an eye, as it stood in her way of traveling and getting spiritually enriched there, but she prevented her child from getting any of the recommended vaccinations and is staunchly against Covid-vaccines. She's a fucking hypocrite and an idiot, despite her status. And her circle of like-minded friends is no different. These people are the reason why we still have to care about measles, which had been basically eradicated here decades ago, and no doubt it's getting worse. Still they are small, but they echo loudly though social media (which is why I prefer not to promote the topic even further myself) and catch a lot of the naiver share of the latter group nowadays.
I wish my country had laughing matters to discuss. We only got fighting matters.
Wish other countries could have this unity.

That guy at 1:34 !
He's what pushed me over the edge and made me erupt into a fit of incontrolable laughter 😂😂

The fact that the camel actually didn’t like the elephant is the most hilarious surprising twist to the whole story! The danish government is probably like “then why in the world did we then bring him too?!”

Here is something emailed to me yesterday. It is from a message board.
"I work for a global tech company headquartered in the Netherlands. It hosted an international symposium in early 2020 attended by employees from around the world, including some from the United States. After a series of talks on the first day attendees dined together at the venue. It was a pleasant evening until people began discussing universal healthcare and someone asked the three Americans at our table what they thought of it being implemented in America. One gravely replied that Americans will never be forced to learn Chinese, and of course everyone laughed politely at his joke - until he snarled, "You think that's _funny?!_ “ before he and the other Americans got up and left. This was no welder from Idaho. He was a senior manager, and a graduate from a prestigious business school. What do they teach them there?"
Somebody has rightly said that ‘Laughing is contagious.’
