Put Frederiksen poses a challenge to feminists who would like to believe that a woman in power has more compassion, especially a woman on the left necessarily more generous than an ordinary male over 50 years. The Danish Prime Minister had no hesitation in bringing down 17 million farm visons in 2020, for fear of a propagation of a variant of the covid. No doubt, wrongly. Or to raise the retirement age at 70 years. She has just done worse in the eyes of sensitive souls. She refuses to leave the Palestinian children sick or injured in Gaza access Danish hospitals. Her eyes did not cade up, her bun did not vacillate when she explained that their arrival could multiply the requests for family reunification.
The Danes know their iron lady. They don’t like it too much but they have renewed it in power. She is a fighter without moods who brought the social democratic party back to power by taking the question of immigration head on. It has reduced to a third the number of non -Western immigrants in social housing, initiated the forfeiture of nationality for binational offenders, etc. She set herself a goal and held it: “Zero asylum seeker. »»
But his refusal to welcome to heal them of the Palestinians evacuated in emergency mobilized the medical profession. In a few days, a thousand doctors and hundreds of nurses petitioned.
The vocation of caregivers is to treat. This does not necessarily give them time to read the score in mid-August from the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs Coordination (OCHA) which lists the existence in Gaza, after almost two years of bombing, of 230 health points which work partially, in particular 18 hospitals, 10 campaign hospitals, 66 clinics that provide primary health care, etc. Danish authorities argue that it is more effective to send help to these teams on site than to bring patients to Copenhagen. Otherwise, neighboring countries are not lacking in hospitals where many Palestinian doctors exercise, which would less change the evacuated Gazaouis. Finally, the Danish intelligence service said that their welcome would constitute a risk to the security of the country. It is unknown which but it is officials paid to be well informed who affirm it.
Put Frederiksen did not cade by refusing to let the children of Gaza access Danish hospitals
No family reunification
To close the debate, while thousands of demonstrators paraded on Sunday in the streets of Copenhagen, Put Frederiksen has shown that it is not only his heart that is relentless. The statistics are too.
In 1992, the Danish government granted a residence permit to 321 Palestinians with state status. Over the years, two thirds of them have been sentenced by the Danish courts. 204 out of 321 precisely, including sixty to firm prison. Finally, thirty-three years after having settled in the kingdom, more than half of these refugees still live on social assistance.
This is not a reason to refrain from taking care of the wounded, but the figures shed light on the debate on integration. Similarly, the government is struggling to convince by dreading family reunification, while for a year and a half Europe has taken care of only 223 Palestinians, nothing comparable to the crowds that have waged the throne of Jordan or switch Lebanon in the civil war. But the argument has the merit of opening the debate on the automaticity of family reunification in Europe.
In France, there are no ethnic statistics. And there will be no debate on the reception of the Palestinians since the judges of the national court of asylum decided that the Gazaouis were all entitled to the status of refugee.
