The new Danish Government announced its programme on the 3 October 2011. The centre-left government opted to spend and work its way out of the economic crisis in sharp contrast to the austerity models that have emerged in many other European countries.

In other areas, policy departures will be substantial. Chief among these will be immigration policy where the government will roll back much of the immigration curtailment measures imposed over a decade by the centre-right and its far-right ally.

The previous government’s plans to dot Denmark’s borders with permanent customs control points will be shelved.
