Summary
Danish King Frederik has redesigned the royal coat of arms to prominently feature symbols of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, replacing the historical three crowns, in an apparent rebuke to Donald Trump’s renewed interest in buying Greenland.
The change underscores Denmark’s commitment to maintaining its territorial integrity.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Egede firmly rejected Trump’s suggestion, declaring, “Greenland is ours.”
This marks the fourth revision of Denmark’s coat of arms since 1819 and highlights Greenland’s century-long political and cultural ties to Denmark despite U.S. military presence on the island.
Not exactly; The Danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein is a recognized political group within Germany. Their party, the ‘Südschleswigsche Wählerverband (SSW)’ (South Schleswig Voter Federation), is even exempt from the 5% rule.
So I read it more like he recognized these “exiles” as Danish, which they are.
Correct, what is funny is that the danish government is building stupid fences and had way too strict rules about crossing the border when Covid first hit, so they were the ones causing problems to people living in the border area.
As long as the Danish government isn’t playing up again there is no check on the border or anything, so it’s not a big problem if you live across the border from everything else you go to everyday.
And that’s one of my favourite things about the EU/Schengen-Area 🇪🇺
