At Blå Kors Pensionat in Taastrup, two parliamentary candidates spoke openly with residents about addiction, homelessness and the failures of fragmented support systems. According to Blå Kors Danmark, the debate became highly personal as both politicians shared their own experiences of addiction in family and professional life.

The Christian Democrats in Denmark have proposed a new pilot program offering free residential treatment for 400 people struggling with alcohol addiction. The initiative, “Glæd dig til at være ædru” (“Look forward to being sober”), aims to help affected families and reduce the social and economic costs linked to alcohol dependence.
