Mette Frederiksen har gentagne gange understreget, at forbeholdene er grundlaget for danske EU-politik. Udenrigsminister Jeppe Kofod fastslog i Deadline på DR den 6. februar 2022, at forsvarsforbeholdet ingen hindring er for Danmarks nuværende ageren og ambitioner.
”Der er ikke noget i forsvarsforbeholdet, som gør, at vi ikke kan føre den udenrigs-, forsvars- og sikkerhedspolitik, som vi gerne vil. Den dag forsvarsforbeholdet forhindrer os i at føre den udenrigs-, forsvars- og sikkerhedspolitik, som Danmark skal føre for at passe på vores land, den dag skal vi tage et opgør med forbeholdet. Men der er vi slet ikke. Tværtimod,” understregede Jeppe Kofod.
Regeringen skylder os en redegørelse for, hvorfor vi skal ophæve forsvarsforbeholdet, og hvorfor vi pludselig skal have mere og ikke mindre EU?
