Denmark plans to isolate ‘unwanted’ refugees on remote island
|(CNN)Denmark’s government has struck a deal to move “unwanted” refugees to a remote uninhabited island once used for contagious animals.
As part of a growing anti-immigration agenda, Danish immigration minister Inger Støjberg, of the center-right Venstre party, wrote on Facebook that certain migrants “are unwanted and they will feel it.”
The controversial deal is part of a new finance bill for 2019 agreed between the center-right government and the Danish People’s Party (DPP), a populist right-wing party with anti-immigration policies.
