Court to decide on the legality of the "ghetto law"

The Danish Supreme Court will review the controversial "ghetto law" aimed at changing the demographic makeup of public housing areas. This follows complaints from seven families in Helsingor who faced eviction under the law, which mandates that neighborhoods with over 50% non-Western residents must diversify by renting at least 60% of homes at market rates by 2030. The families allege racial discrimination, while lower courts have sided with landlords, arguing the law's language does not violate equality laws. Advocates for the families argue for inclusive housing policies regardless of ethnicity or background. The government defends the law as a measure against segregation in vulnerable neighborhoods, despite criticism from human rights groups and concerns from the European Commission about its discriminatory potential.
