"Mr President, we in the Danish Liberal Party chose to vote in favour of the joint motion for a resolution on the Roma, not because we do not think that the language in large parts of the resolution is rather too emotionally charged and its attacks unsubstantiated, rather it is because we believe that there is reason to question the manner in which France has suddenly chosen to expel the Roma. In this regard, we do not think there is anything to be investigated in relation to Denmark’s or Germany’s deportations. Denmark acted by the book, and if Germany cannot send home refugees from a war that is over, the concept of refugee status will be lost and we will then have a completely new legal status in the world. I have to say that the Danish Liberal Party’s fight against the unjustified criticism of Denmark and Germany has been an uncomfortably lonely one. Neither the Social Democrats nor the Socialist People’s Party supported us. No, they would rather have their country and neighbouring country tarnished by controversy for which there is no documentable justification. I honestly think that it is embarrassing. I would like to finish by emphasising that the last explicit vestige of so-called criticism of Denmark and Germany was definitively removed during the vote today."@en1
