“Pack your things, travel home and start rebuilding your own homeland”, she writes.

“Dear Syrian refugees. Now it's time to go home again.”
This is how Inger Støjberg, who until the summer of 2019 was Denmark's Minister of Migration for the Liberal Party, begins her open letter on Facebook.
“I was Foreign Minister when you came to Denmark. I therefore know exactly what the agreement was between you and us Danes when you arrived. The agreement was that we protected you while the war raged, but that you obviously would go home the day it became possible for you again “, writes Støjberg and continues:
” Now it is time for you to start the journey home. Home to rebuild Syria. That was the agreement – and you have a moral obligation to fulfill it. Without objection and without questions, but in gratitude to the Danish people. “
It was recently clear that Denmark, as the first EU country, is now beginning to withdraw residence permits for Syrians and send them home them. It is “obvious” and “obvious” that this is the way to do it, said the Social Democratic Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in April.
– If you are a refugee, it is because you have a need for protection. And if that need disappears because you are not persecuted individually or there is no general need for protection, you should of course return to the country you come from, said the Prime Minister.
The Social Democratic government in Denmark also plans to place immigrants seeking asylum in a third world asylum center.
