Denmark violates fundamental rights | Ćapeta opinion

Recently the opinion of Advocate General Ćapeta (Case C‑417/23, ECLI:EU:C:2025:98) for the European Court of Justice was published. The conclusion of Ćapeta was:

172. In the light of the foregoing, I propose that the Court of Justice answer the questions referred by the Østre Landsret (High Court of Eastern Denmark) as follows:

(1) The term ‘ethnic origin’ in Articles 1 and 2 of Council Directive 2000/43/EC of 29 June 2000 implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin must be interpreted as covering a group of persons defined as ‘immigrants and their descendants from non-Western countries’.
(2) The scheme that uses concepts such as ‘immigrants and their descendants from non-Western countries’ for the categorisation of a neighbourhood in which a number of public housing units is to be reduced must be interpreted as direct discrimination within the meaning of Article 2(2)(a) of Directive 2000/43.

Steininger published the article They Not Like Us. Why the Danish ‘Ghetto Law’ violates EU law on Verfassungsblog, explaining the opinion and Danish ghetto law.
