If you're anything like us, your week may sometimes feel like a blur. 

That's why The Copenhagen Post brings you the Weekly Wrap on Sundays.  We will take a deep breath, a step back and a second look at some of the stories that made up the past seven days both in our printed weekly newspaper and online.

Here is just a taste of the week that was:

– Shut out of national political scene, foreign residents who aren’t content with just casting a ballot are finding that next week's local election is their big chance. 

– In the final round of our series previewing the parties vying for seats on the City Council, we’ve come to the main contenders: Socialdemokraterne and Venstre

– Speaking of Socialdemokraterne, mayor Frank Jensen has a message for our readers

– The election is on Tuesday. Don't know who to vote for yet? Have a look back at all of our articles and party profiles in the Local Election 13 section of our website

– There was, of course, plenty that went on besides campaigning last week. The biggest news of them all last week was the deportation of 7-year-old Im Nielsen and her mother, the show of public support for them and parliament’s back-track on the issue. Families, however, continue to be torn apart by immigration laws

– Denmark also chipped in not just money but also manpower to the efforts to help clean up after Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. No Danes were reported killed, but a number are still missing

– Keeping on the international front, Facebook addresses Danish critics of its policy of removing all nudity from the social media website. It’s not censorship, the firm says. It’s a guideline that tries to take into account the sensibilities of all its billion users

– Speaking of speaking, University of Copenhagen student union president breaks with 500 years of tradition and delivers annual speech in English. It was the “polite” thing to do, she says

– Looking for a little a little something different to do on a Sunday? Head on over to the final of the Danish International Belly Dance Festival today

– And we end on a bit of good news: the price of beer has gone down

We'll see you again on Monday, but until then remember that you can also hear more from us – if you so wish – via Facebook and Twitter, and via our new daily newsletter, The Evening Post. And if you have a hard time getting your hands on a physical copy of the Post, why not sign up to have it delivered to your inbox? If you haven't read them yet, you can download this week's Copenhagen Post and InOut guide today. Heck, you even get The Weekly Wrap as an email each week.
