Today’s big topic: The police launch deportation proceedings against woman from Funen
The Prime Minister has pressured the police and prosecution to charge citizens with glorification of terrorism. Nadine was acquitted but lost her citizenship and will later appear in the High Court, facing the threat of deportation.
What’s happening?
The police in Fyn are investigating whether 29-year-old Nadine can be expelled from Denmark due to a Facebook comment expressing sympathy for Palestinians in Gaza.
Despite being acquitted by the Odense court of endorsing terrorism, her Danish citizenship was revoked, and the Public Prosecutor has appealed the case to the High Court. Nadine, who has lived in Denmark since being adopted in 2006, faces questioning to assess her ties to Denmark versus Germany.
EU law expert Sune Klinge argues that even if convicted, expulsion may not be justified. Nadine feels treated like a criminal and a stranger in her own country.
Why it matters!
Nadine’s case underscores the tension between government policies and individual rights, especially concerning citizenship and freedom of expression.
It raises critical questions about the balance of political pressure and legal standards in Denmark. The situation also touches on EU residency laws and their implications for national decisions.

Talk of town: »It’s your own fault,« said Tim Christensen – and unfortunately, he was right.
Tim Christensen sang and played brilliantly as always, but the setlist was a strange mix when Dizzy Mizz Lizzy performed a request concert at Copenhell.
Tim Christensen and Dizzy Mizz Lizzy performed a by-request concert at Copenhell, where the audience voted on the setlist.
Despite a promising start with heavier tracks from their latest album, ’Alter Echo,’ the setlist ended up being a peculiar mix that didn’t fully showcase the band’s newer, heavier sound.
