Denmark ready for intervention in Libya
By Bo Søndergaard in Libya, Thomas Lauritzen in Brussels and Mads Brandstrup
An overwhelming majority of the Danish Parliament is prepared to send the Danish Air Force to Libya to enforce a no-fly zone, even if the United Nations is unable to agree on intervention.
The United Nations Security Council has been asleep. And in the meantime only one thing has happened – Gaddafi has built up increasing momentum against the pro-democratic forces,” says Liberal Foreign Policy Spokesman Michael Astrup Jensen.
Socialist support
In an unusual turn of events, the Socialist People’s Party – which has been against both the war in Iraq and in Afghanistan, has lent its support to intervention.
“We would prefer there to be a UN mandate, but I don’t think it would be morally acceptable if the international community just sat and watched while Gaddafi is allowed to kill rebels and a large section of the civilian population,” says Socialist People’s Party Leader Villy Søvndal.
The Social Democratic Party, the Social Liberals and the Danish People’s Party also support intervention without a UN mandate if necessary.
