The situation around The US's interest in Greenland is high, and this was expressed at a meeting on Tuesday between Danish and Greenlandic politicians on the communication platform Teams.
DR writes that the meeting left a number of Danish members of parliament deeply shaken, and Greenlandic members of parliament, if possible, even more enraged, which was exactly the opposite of the intention.
The meeting was arranged by Christian Friis Bach, who is chairman of the Foreign Policy Committee in the Danish Parliament, and among the meeting participants from Greenland was Pipaluk Lynge (IA), who is chairman of Inatsisartut's Foreign and Security Policy Committee.
At the meeting, Pipaluk Lynge came forward with harsh criticism of the Folketing for lack of involvement in connection with a closed meeting about the US situation, which was to be held later on Tuesday evening in a secured room at Christiansborg.
Have requested secure connections
According to DR's information, it led to several heated exchanges, and Christian Friis Bach tells DR that he will not report from the meeting, but that he is listening to the frustration of the Greenlandic parliamentarians.
Christian Friis Bach informs DR that he has written to the Speaker of the Danish Parliament, Søren Gade, on Wednesday in order to establish a secure connection between the three foreign policy committees in the Commonwealth - Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands:
- So we can have confidential conversations and so we can also share more information. I have also requested that we share the international information we have here in the Danish Parliament more actively with our colleagues in Greenland and the Faroe Islands, he says to DR.
