The construction of a new mosque in the city of Helsing\u00f8r in the Nordsj\u00e6lland region has sparked widespread political controversy within the municipal council, with parties divided between those who support the ban and those who oppose it, even though the project is in line with the applicable local plan, according to the DR website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Political dispute over the construction project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The case concerns a request from the Helsing\u00f8r Islamic Society to build a new 1,200-square-meter mosque spread over two floors, adjacent to the existing 412-square-meter building in the Egev\u00e6nget area. While the project appears legal under the local plan, the Blue Bloc parties are attempting to block it by imposing a temporary injunction that would allow for amendments to the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A vote is expected within the municipal council.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Members of the Helsing\u00f8r municipal council are preparing to vote on the proposed ban during a scheduled meeting. The outcome of the vote will determine whether the project will be temporarily halted or allowed to continue. This vote reflects the clear political division between the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Concerns about infrastructure and capacity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Helsing\u00f8r Mayor Benedikte Ki\u00e6r, a member of the Conservative Party, insists her stance is not about the religious nature of the project, but rather the infrastructure challenges. She says, \u201cIt\u2019s not about it being a mosque, but about the activity and the challenges related to the infrastructure and parking in the area. There isn\u2019t enough capacity.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kier explains that the current local plan is outdated, and that a large expansion of the mosque would put significant pressure on traffic and parking spaces, which the municipality considers unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Islamic Association points to increasing overcrowding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Journalists were unable to secure a direct interview with the Helsing\u00f8r Islamic Association, but the association explained via social media that the existing mosque is under considerable pressure, particularly during Friday prayers. They confirmed that the number of worshippers has increased significantly over the past twenty years, forcing some to pray outside on grass due to insufficient space inside the mosque, according to DR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Red parties call for dialogue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In contrast, parties belonging to the Red Bloc oppose the ban, arguing that dialogue with the association is the solution, rather than a drastic measure. Noah James Donkin, a city councillor and leader of the Socialist People's Party (SF) bloc, echoed this sentiment, stating, "This is a very excessive measure. We believe a common solution should be found through dialogue instead of imposing a ban.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n Background of the decision in the Economic Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Helsing\u00f8r municipal council's economic committee had previously discussed the issue, with the blue parties voting in favor of the ban, while the red parties and the Moderates party opposed it. This vote reflects the ongoing political division on how to handle the project.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0623\u062b\u0627\u0631 \u0645\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0639 \u0628\u0646\u0627\u0621 \u0645\u0633\u062c\u062f \u062c\u062f\u064a\u062f \u0641\u064a \u0645\u062f\u064a\u0646\u0629 \u0647\u064a\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0646\u063a\u0648\u0631 Helsing\u00f8r \u0641\u064a \u0645\u0646\u0637\u0642\u0629 \u0634\u0645\u0627\u0644 \u0634\u064a\u0644\u0627\u0646\u062f Nordsj\u00e6lland \u062c\u062f\u0644\u0627\u064b \u0633\u064a\u0627\u0633\u064a\u0627\u064b \u0648\u0627\u0633\u0639\u0627\u064b \u062f\u0627\u062e\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062c\u0644\u0633 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0644\u062f\u064a\u060c \u062d\u064a\u062b \u0627\u0646\u0642\u0633\u0645\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0623\u062d\u0632\u0627\u0628 \u0628\u064a\u0646 \u0645\u0624\u064a\u062f \u0644\u0644\u062d\u0638\u0631 \u0648\u0645\u0639\u0627\u0631\u0636 \u0644\u0647\u060c \u0631\u063a\u0645 \u0623\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0639 \u064a\u062a\u0648\u0627\u0641\u0642 \u0645\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u062e\u0637\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0644\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0639\u0645\u0648\u0644 \u0628\u0647\u0627\u060c \u0628\u062d\u0633\u0628 \u0645\u0648\u0642\u0639 DR. \u062e\u0644\u0627\u0641 \u0633\u064a\u0627\u0633\u064a \u062d\u0648\u0644 \u0645\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0646\u0627\u0621 \u0648\u062a\u062a\u0646\u0627\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0636\u064a\u0629 \u0637\u0644\u0628 \u062c\u0645\u0639\u064a\u0629 \u0647\u064a\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0646\u063a\u0648\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645\u064a\u0629 Helsing\u00f8r Islamisk Menighed \u0628\u0646\u0627\u0621 …<\/p>","protected":false},"author":206070094,"featured_media":30223,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2856,1358],"tags":[2730,2907,1443,2906],"class_list":["post-30221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2856","category-1358","tag-2730","tag-2907","tag-1443","tag-2906"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/denmark-24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FB_IMG_1777295861312.jpg?fit=1440%2C1080&ssl=1","author_info":{"display_name":"\u0645\u0627\u0647\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0633\u0641","author_link":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/author\/maher-el-youssif\/"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pd9WgT-7Rr","amp_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/denmark-24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FB_IMG_1777295861312.jpg?fit=1440%2C1080&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/206070094"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30221"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30224,"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30221\/revisions\/30224"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/denmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
