Leftist politicians silent on Danish law punishing free speech…


But want Hungary pushed from the EU

From Voice of Europe

Hungary: Liberal politicians across the world have been quick to call for Hungary to be punished following the Hungarian government’s adoption of its emergency Coronavirus Protection Law on Monday, which gives Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s administration wide powers to deal with the pandemic without consulting Parliament.


Denmark: The Danish parliament, last week, passed a law which makes it possible to shut down websites and to fine or imprison persons who publish information about the COVID-19 virus that doesn’t line-up with the government’s guidelines.

Those found to be spreading information about the COVID-19 virus online that’s deemed to be false by government authorities, and those who promote medications which claim to attenuate the virus but which aren’t classified as pharmaceuticals, will be subject a fine or imprisonment of up to eight months, Swedish news outlet News Voice reports.

The law states that the coronavirus guidelines put forward by specific authorities are not to be questioned. Those authorities are the National Board of Health, the Serum Institute, the Police, the Ministry of Health, and the Prime Minister.
