"something I personally don't think is a bad idea in and of itself, even if it would almost certainly extend the already interminable processing time of two years for citizenship applications. Screening would likely mean each individual who applies for citizenship would be assessed on the basis of their personal views, whether expressed on social media or ascertained through some kind of interview the exact model is likely to take some time to work out."
"The party is now going a step further, with leader Alex Vanopslagh saying in an interview that Liberal Alliance will vote to block every single applicant for citizenship from being naturalised until screening is implemented something which could take years. In my view, one of the most important requirements, and one of the most important issues to address, is making a greater effort to assess whether someone genuinely has a democratic mindset, Vanopslagh said."
Liberal Alliance will block all naturalisations until individual ideological screening of citizenship applicants is implemented. Screening would assess applicants' personal views via social media scrutiny or interviews and would likely extend the already lengthy two-year processing time. Danish naturalisation criteria include criminal record, length of residence, financial situation, Danish language proficiency and passing a citizenship test. Approval requires a parliamentary vote on a special naturalisation bill for each group of applicants, allowing parties to withhold consent. Leader Alex Vanopslagh said assessing whether applicants genuinely have a democratic mindset is a key requirement.
