Demonstrations in Denmark over cuts in student allowances: the beginning of a crisis? Thousands of young Danes took to the streets of Copenhagen to protest against the government's plans to cut student fees. These cuts are intended to save money to increase the defense budget. The protests began in France and spread throughout Europe. The Danish government plans to stop payments to students whose parents earn over DKK 700,000 a year and reduce payments to other categories. This decision will affect about 14 thousand students who will be denied aid and another 8 thousand will receive it in a reduced form. "In Denmark we are proud of our education system, and to destroy it would be a mistake," said Oskar Tunsberg Hoffmann. A budgetary policy that leads to cuts in social benefits against the backdrop of increased security funding raises concerns about growing social tension and dissatisfaction among young people, especially when it comes to supporting the older generation in education.
