The Danish People’s Party has been given significant legal and foreign policy concessions in return for its support for the government’s retirement reform.

According to Politiken’s information, the concessions are in the form of three agreements which will be put forward when current negotiations on a retirement reform have been concluded.

The first element of the pact is a border agreement to strengthen controls at Denmark’s borders.

“It has to be something that works. Both a strengthening of customs controls in which there is a permanent customs officer presence. There must also be extra funds for the police so that those caught in customs controls can be arrested,” says Danish People’s Party Deputy Chairman Peter Skaarup.

The agreement calls for a permanent customs presence at borders in order to check vehicles for particularly weapons and narcotics. EU rules preclude border controls as such, but a solution involving customs officers would be a way of getting around the rules, as checks would be random.

At the same time, police patrol cars would have special cameras installed which would enable them to automatically check vehicle number plates to determine whether a vehicle is being sought.

The pact also includes a gentleman’s agreement between the government and DPP, that Denmark will support an Italo-French proposal for changes to the Schengen agreement.

Safety package
The Safety Package is said to be the main component of the agreement. The package is said to include stiffer sentences, in particular for criminal immigrants and those who carry out domestic break-ins.

“Gang members should not just have a finger wagged at them. They should get a hammer,” says one source close to the negotiations. The DPP has not, however, been able negotiate expulsions without a court judgment, as practiced in terrorism cases.

The final part of the agreement is said to involve an earning principle for foreigners looking for access to welfare payments.
