Overview
- Speaking at Policy Exchange in Westminster, Kaare Dybvad Bek called the North–South diversity gap in England “fundamentally wrong” and singled out Somerset and Dorset.
- He defended Denmark’s so‑called “Ghetto law,” which permits demolishing and redeveloping estates in areas with high shares of residents from non‑Western backgrounds to tackle segregation.
- He said Denmark places public housing in wealthy districts so different parts of the country share responsibility for integrating newcomers.
- To justify the approach, he cited a Danish estate of about 9,000 residents where 77 percent are from non‑Western countries and 52 percent are out of work.
- He said Denmark ruled out an East‑African asylum hub after talks with Rwanda, noted that 95 percent of returns are voluntary with cash grants, and urged centrist parties to reassert control over migration to counter populism.
