In France, centrist Emmanuel Macron has sounded increasingly hardline on immigration in recent years, while his political nemesis the National Rally Party leader Marine Le Pen has been heavily mixing social welfare policies into her nationalist agenda to attract more mainstream voters.But can Danish - and in particular, Danish Social Democrat - tough immigration policies be deemed a success?

The answer depends on which criteria you use to judge them.Asylum claim applications are certainly down in Denmark, in stark contrast to much of the rest of Europe. The number, as of May 2025, is the lowest in 40 years, according to immigration.dk, an online information site for refugees in Denmark.But Nordic Denmark is certainly not what's seen as a frontline state - like Italy - where people smugglers' boats frequently wash up along its shores.

"Frederiksen is in a favourable geographical position," argues Europe professor, Timothy Garton Ash, from Oxford University. But he also praises Denmark's prime minister for addressing the problem of migration, without adopting "hysterical rhetoric".But others say new legislation has damaged Denmark's reputation for respecting international humanitarian law and the rights of asylum-seekers. Michelle Pace of Chatham House says it has become hard to protect refugees in Denmark, where "the legal goalposts keep moving."

Danish citizens with a migrant background have also been made to feel like outsiders, she notes.

She cites the Social Democrats' "parallel societies" law, which allows the state to sell off or demolish apartment blocks in troubled areas where at least half of residents have a "non-Western" background.Speaking to BBC Radio 4 Today programme, Dame Vera described the CCRC as a "hugely important organisation for our criminal justice system" but criticised the agency in its current state.

"They seem incapable of learning from their mistakes," she said, later referencing that Mr Malkinson's case was not dissimilar to that of"Even as the CCRC was looking at an identical case in Malkinson [they were] failing to refer to [past cases]," Dame Vera said. "There is some inability to grasp the level of failure that is going on."

She also said she is writing to body's chief executive Karen Kneller to "discuss her position" and future, as well as some of the people who have not had their miscarriages of justice properly referred.Mr Malkinson was accused in 2003 of raping a woman in Greater Manchester. He was later convicted and jailed for life despite no DNA linking him to the crime.
