What Are You Doing in Denmark?21 Mai 2024

39 | The 2024 election you SHOULD be talking about

This week, Derek is joined by Thorbern Alexander Klingert, a Danish candidate for the EU Parliament. He’s spent years advocating for the international community in Denmark to make sure they had information on voting, and he’s taking his passion for democracy to the next level - and hopefully to Brussels. As a candidate for the EU Parliament, Thorbern explains his stance on many issues facing Denmark and why Danes and residents of Denmark should be more focused on the upcoming EU elections.

Thorbern explains the personal experience that led him to focus on expanding voter participation among Denmark’s international community. He and Derek discuss and debate some of the most important issues in the 2024 election and how to vote as an EU citizen in Denmark. Don’t forget to share this episode with any friends who are living in Denmark.
