Calls are being made for an investigation into the arrival of approximately 1,750 Iranian nurses in Denmark since 2021, amid concerns about immigration policies and integration challenges. The situation is described as a “scandal” due to the perceived conflict with strict immigration laws and existing concerns about integration from Muslim countries.

A letter writer questions the rationale behind inviting Iranian nurses specifically and expresses concern that only a fraction have secured employment as nurses. The author raises questions about the process of family reunification before permanent employment and the potential for these nurses and their families to return to Iran.

Another letter addresses the concept of artistic courage, sparked by a debate between Kasper Holten and Jakob Steen Olsen of the Royal Theater. The writer argues that true artistic courage lies not only in provocation but also in focusing on the core of an artistic genre. The writer cites the Cuban National Ballet’s classic production of “Don Quixote” as an example of this type of artistic courage.

A third letter criticizes the current system of fixed fines, arguing that they disproportionately affect lower-income individuals. The author advocates for percentage-based fines, where the penalty is calculated as a proportion of the offender’s income.

The letter explains that fixed fines have a diminished impact on wealthier individuals, making the punishment less effective in changing behavior. The author acknowledges the practical challenges of implementing percentage-based fines, particularly regarding income definition and capital income, but expresses hope for legislative amendments to address the issue. The ultimate goal is to ensure that fines serve as a deterrent for all citizens, regardless of their financial status.
