Fatal beating in Copenhagen sparks EU immigration debate

The fatal beating of a Swedish man in a football fan zone in Copenhagen is now entering the European immigration debate.

The incident was raised in the EU Parliament on Monday evening at the initiative of the SD.

This is part of a broader pattern that undermines the security of ordinary Europeans, said Charlie Weimers (SD), drawing parallels to a recent knife murder in Italy.

In both cases, the perpetrator is reported to be of non-European origin.

People who have no right to be in Europe should not be allowed to threaten our security, said Tomas Tobé (M) in the debate.

Abir Al-Sahlani (C) in turn criticized SD for making politics out of a tragedy.

"Let the judiciary do its job. Let us honor (the deceased) with respect and not use his memory as a political prop," Al-Sahlani said.
