The European Court of Justice has sent the case back to Denmark for a national court to decide whether the policy’s “non‑Western” residency criterion constitutes unequal treatment, following a challenge to Denmark’s 2018 "ghetto package" that used demolitions and forced relocations.The dispute centers on Mjølnerparken in northwest Copenhagen, where bulldozers cleared social housing and more than 1,000 people were forced to move after the area was labeled a "ghetto" and later renamed a "transformation area" under the programme "A Denmark without parallel societies: No ghettos by 2030."Thirteen plaintiffs led by Majken Felle argue the numerical threshold discriminates by ethnic origin, former resident Muhammad Aslam accused Mette Frederiksen of singling out "enemies," and law professor Kirsten Ketscher warned a loss could bar further forced relocations as authorities plan to demolish over 4,000 units and sell more than 600 across 18 areas.
