What's up with denmark lately? Why are they hyper focused on taking away freedoms?

It's not Denmark, it's our PM. She's a power hungry a-hole who can't keep power without inciting fear in people. She milked covid for all she could. Then Russia invaded Ukraine and we started donating a lot. I fully support donating military equipment to Ukraine, but I can tell from Danish news media that some of my fellow Danes are starting to drink the Russian "we can't afford to help Ukraine when our butter is so expensive"-gatorade. So she needs something else now, with parliamentary elections less than a year away, our dear leader has decided to go all in on "won't somebody think of the children", "immigration is bad, and all foreigners are immigrants", and "justice, both in social benefits and crime"

So the tldr on why Denmark is being a totalitarian prick at the moment is, that our PM is a fading star desperately trying to get reelected.

The bill, put forward by Denmarkโ€™s Ministry of Culture, states that it would be prohibited to "use VPN connections to access media content that would otherwise not be available in Denmark, or to bypass blocking of illegal websites." If passed, the law would take effect on July 1, 2026, with offenders facing a fine.

Isn't it already the case?

And how do they plan to see what you do behind a VPN? Do they understand what they are talking about

Canโ€™t we just nuke Denmark at this point ? Theyโ€™re doing more harm than good if not for the whole world, at least for the EU.
