The Police of Sweden and Denmark Join Forces to Combat Gang Violence
Sweden and Denmark are collaborating to address gang violence affecting Malmö and Copenhagen, with a focus on cross-border crime. The Danish police report multiple attacks and murders, highlighting the recruitment of young individuals for criminal activities. The Swedish police have observed an increase in the recruitment of minors, often from disadvantaged immigrant neighborhoods, due to their lower risk of prosecution. Social media plays a significant role in recruiting these youths, as noted by Karolina Sköld, who works with young people in Malmö.
A wave of cross-border crime torments Denmark and Sweden
Malmö and Copenhagen have been significantly affected by gang violence, with numerous attacks and fatalities reported. Young individuals are increasingly involved in these crimes, often recruited online. In response, Danish and Swedish police are collaborating across borders, a necessary but unusual measure. Danish Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard and Swedish counterpart Gunnar Strommer emphasize the need for strong, coordinated responses and policy revisions.

Denmark and Sweden police operate across borders to tackle gang crime spree
Malmö and Copenhagen have experienced a surge in gang violence, prompting cross-border police operations between Denmark and Sweden. The violence, involving young recruits often from disadvantaged neighborhoods, includes shootings and bombings. Authorities note the recruitment of minors due to lighter legal consequences. Social media grooming is identified as a factor in youth involvement. The collaboration aims to address the escalating crime, with Sweden facing long-standing gang issues and Denmark experiencing a lesser scale of violence.

Danish and Swedish police have conducted a cross-border operation to combat gang violence, particularly in Malmö and Copenhagen. The operation addresses the increasing involvement of young individuals in gang-related crimes, often hired due to their perceived leniency in sentencing. The Danish police reported three deaths and numerous attacks linked to gangs, while Swedish authorities estimate 62,000 individuals are connected to gangs. The banned Swedish gang Loyal to Familia is highlighted as a significant player. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen condemned the recruitment of Swedish youths for criminal activities in Denmark.

Denmark’s Covid mass mink cull had no legal justification, says report
The Danish government ordered a mass mink extermination in November 2020 without legal justification, according to an official inquiry. Denmark, the world's largest mink producer, aimed to kill 15 million farmed minks due to a Covid-19 mutation, Cluster 5, potentially affecting vaccine efficacy. The cull faced issues such as pollution and escaped minks. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen acknowledged the illegality post-cull. The State Serum Institute declared Cluster 5 extinct, and the ban on mink farming continues, with compensation to farmers estimated to cost up to £2.2bn. The inquiry criticized the government for misleading statements and lack of legal basis for the cull.
Wave of Bankruptcies Threatens Without Compensation and Postponement of Corona Loans
The article emphasizes the urgent need for the Danish government to expedite compensation packages and consider postponing the repayment of corona loans to prevent a wave of bankruptcies among small businesses. It highlights the severe financial strain on self-employed individuals and small enterprises due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and inadequate government support. The text calls for immediate action, including the postponement of tax payments and the initiation of compensation payouts, to mitigate the economic impact and ensure the survival of small businesses in Denmark.
Beers and beating Germany: Henrik Larsen on Denmark’s Euro 92 triumph
Henrik Larsen reflects on Denmark's unexpected triumph at the Euro 1992 and draws parallels to the current Danish team's performance in Euro 2020. Despite the absence of their biggest star, Christian Eriksen, due to a cardiac arrest, and the relaxed preparation similar to the 1992 team, Larsen believes in the team's strong spirit and chances of success. He reminisces about the informal training, team camaraderie, and the victory against Germany in the final. With Denmark advancing to the semi-finals against England, Larsen remains optimistic about their chances, even considering England's historical difficulty with penalties.
Denmark's mass mink cull illegal, PM admits as opposition mounts
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen admitted the recent mass mink cull was illegal, leading to political opposition and calls for Agriculture Minister Mogens Jensen's resignation. The cull, initiated due to fears of a Covid-19 mutation, continues in infected zones and with cooperative farmers. The Danish government dropped emergency legislation to support the cull, and compensation for farmers has become a key issue. The State Serum Institute warned of further mutations, while Animal Protection Denmark stressed the need for proper culling procedures.
Denmark orders culling of minks to fight coronavirus
Denmark, the world's largest producer of mink fur, has ordered the culling of 15 million minks to prevent the spread of a mutated coronavirus strain. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and the State Serum Institute have identified mink-related versions of the virus in 214 people, with a specific strain found in 12 individuals and five farms. The decision has sparked concerns among fur farmers about their future, while some health experts question the necessity of the cull. Animal rights activists see this as an opportunity to end the mink farming industry. The cull is expected to last through 2021, likely ending the industry permanently.
