Neuer Bericht: Die dänische sozialdemokratische Partei und ihre Migrationspolitik
Der neue Bericht " ERFOLGSMODELL ODER FALLGRUBE? Die dänische sozialdemokratische Partei und ihre Migrationspolitik" hinterfragt die landläufige Meinung, dass die restriktive Asyl- und Migrationspolitik der dänischen Sozialdemokraten als Best Practice dienen sollte. Verfasst von Kristina Birke Daniels, Direktorin der FES Nordische Länder, und Jakob Schwörer, Policy Advisor, beleuchtet der Bericht die Auswirkungen des Rechtsrucks der Sozialdemokraten.
Entgegen der landläufigen Meinung hat die Neuausrichtung in der Migrationspolitik die radikale Rechte nicht geschwächt, sondern gestärkt. Trotz restriktiver Einwanderungspolitik verfügt die radikale Rechte weiterhin über beträchtliche Unterstützung. Der Aufschwung der Sozialdemokraten im Jahr 2019 ist nicht auf ihre Haltung zur Einwanderung zurückzuführen, sondern vielmehr auf ihre progressive Wirtschafts-, Sozial- und Umweltpolitik.
Die Koalition mit liberal-konservativen Parteien erschwert jedoch die Durchsetzung einer solchen Politik, was zu einem erheblichen Verlust an Zustimmung in der Bevölkerung geführt hat. Darüber hinaus hat die Migrations- und Integrationspolitik verheerende Folgen für Schutzsuchende. Das unfreundliche gesellschaftliche Klima gegenüber Einwander_innen aus dem globalen Süden könnte sich negativ auf den von Dänemark gewünschten Zustrom qualifizierter Fachkräfte auswirken. Internationale Studien bescheinigen Dänemark ein niedriges Niveau an Offenheit und Freundlichkeit, dass sich seit 2019 sogar noch verschlechtert hat.
New report out: The Danish Social Democratic Party and its Migration Policy
Often hailed as a potential model for other nations, the asylum and migration policy crafted by the Danish Social Democrats has shaped Denmark's restrictive approach to immigration and integration. However, this new report, authored by Kristina Birke Daniels, Director of FES Nordic Countries, and Jakob Schwörer, Policy Advisor, challenges the notion that this paradigm should serve as a best practice.
Contrary to popular belief, the perceived rightward shift of the Social Democrats has not weakened the radical right but rather bolstered it. Despite the Social Democrats' adoption of restrictive immigration stances, the radical right continues to maintain considerable support.
The Social Democrats' surge in 2019 was attributed not to their stance on immigration but rather to their progressive economic, social, and environmental policies. However, their coalition with liberal-conservative parties has diluted their ability to enact such policies, resulting in a significant loss of public approval.
Furthermore, the consequences of the Social Democrats' migration and integration policies have been devastating for asylum seekers. The unwelcoming societal climate towards immigrants from the Global South could have adverse effects on Denmark's desired influx of skilled professionals. International studies rank Denmark low in openness and friendliness, which has actually deteriorated since 2019.
Join us as we navigate the consequences of Denmark's rightward shift since 2019, and access the full report (in German) here.
