Danes will soon be allowed dual citizenship if the new government carries through with its promise to change the current situation. At present Denmark is one of a handful of European countries that does not grant dual citizenship, but that could all change soon, according to a report in newspaper Berlingske Tidende (link in danish).
Two sentences in the new coalition government’s platform seem to indicate that the contentious issue will soon rise to the fore again as it states: “Denmark is a modern society in an international world. Therefore dual citizenship must be permitted.”
People holding Danish passports have long been denied the right to hold another – a state of affairs that was fiercely upheld by the Danish People’s Party (DF), who are now no longer in a position of power.
