The attack on Mette Frederiksen on a street in Copenhagen, why 14 forest kindergartens are set to close (and why they exist in the first place), the increase in the Danish citizenship application fee, a large-scale Russian disinformation attack, and why the people’s climate march for a greener Europe has raised questions over Denmark’s green priorities.

The Danish Connection

How do you access news in Denmark if you don’t speak Danish?

There are 652,495 foreign citizens living in Denmark. We bring you Danish news in English every Sunday to help you stay informed about the country you live in.

On this week’s episode of The Danish Connection, we discuss the attack on Mette Frederiksen on a street in Copenhagen, why 14 forest kindergartens are set to close (and why they exist in the first place), the increase in the Danish citizenship application fee, a large-scale Russian disinformation attack, and why the people’s climate march for a greener Europe has raised questions over Denmark’s green priorities.

All this, plus cultural tips and hot-takes on the week’s  headlines.
