“They should be glad for any country that would take them in, instead they demand to go where they can get the most free benefits. Are they really refugees or just greedy opportunists?”  Admin

Refugees from Middle Eastern countries – like war-torn Syria – are demanding they are allowed to go to Sweden or Finland because the terms of asylum are more favourable for them.

Asylum seeker Marwen el Mohammed said there are two reasons migrants do not want to go to Denmark.

Mohammed claimed the first reason is that “the salary for refugees decreased about 50 per cent from 10,000 kroner (£1,000) to about 5,000 (£500)”.

The second is that Finland and its neighbouring countries allow migrants’ families to join them within two or three months – but under Denmark’s new laws they have to wait a year before they are able to join their loved ones.

Speaking to Denmark’s TV2 News, another migrant demanded: “We want Sweden.”

When the reporter tells him that Sweden is 310 miles away, he said: “No problem. We walked from Syria to here [with] no problem.”
