VOICED : Los daneses deciden si entran en la política de defensa de la UE

Denmark is considering joining the EU's defense policy, a decision to be made by a referendum. Historically, Denmark has opted out of several EU policies, but recent events, such as the invasion of Ukraine, have shifted public opinion towards participation. The Danish government, in agreement with most parliamentary parties, is pushing for a referendum to end these exceptions and increase military investments. This move aligns with the defense strategies of other Nordic countries like Sweden and Finland, who are also seeking closer ties with NATO.
