Violence problems
The proposal is one of several that intend to create safe conditions in the nightlife at night, writes Politiken. Restaurants are also required to have approved doormen, and the police are given the authority to expel people who create insecurity.
– There is a problem with too much violence in Denmark. Not least violence which is related to the nightlife, where it is a challenge for young people at a party to move in the cityscape, says Fredriksen.
The proposal involves a partial rollback of liberalization in 2005, as it will be opened to sell alcohol at all hours of the day.
