This week on Last Week In Denmark, co-hosts Narcis and Golda explore how Denmark is responding to new threats and shifting trust — from national policy to personal security and local action. They unpack three standout stories: the country’s surprising return to nuclear power after 40 years, a rise in scams affecting 6% of the population in 2024, and the emergence of volunteer wolf patrols to protect sheep in rural areas.

It’s a bite-sized look at how systems, communities, and individuals are stepping up to protect what matters — all from the perspective of internationals living in Denmark.
