Anders Vistisen, the group chairperson with the Danish People’s Party (DF) in the EU Parliament, argued the measure was needed to regain complete control over the Scandinavian country’s borders.

The MEP said the party had drawn inspiration from Hungary’s border measures, as he added it should be copied in Denmark.

Mr Vistisen said: “We in DF are very excited about what we experienced in Hungary. The model is identical to the one we propose to be introduced between Denmark and Germany.

“If the Germans have a problem with it, then the Germans will just have to get control of their own borders.”

DDP is not currently in government, despite being Denmark’s second-biggest party, holding 37 of parliament’s 179 seats, but Mr Vistisen insisted his party is the only one willing to do what is necessary to protect Denmark’s borders.

The proposal was criticised by Morten Løkkegaard, EU Parliament representative with Denmark’s governing Liberal (Venstre) Party, as he branded it “absurd”.

He told Politiken: “If you want to barricade Denmark with bricks and fences, you can take inspiration [from Hungary], but the Liberal party does not support that.

“It makes no sense to throw a three-metre fence up in the middle of Europe.”
