Greenland is not for sale, it says once again in a Facebook post from the chairman of Naalakkersuisut, Jens-Frederik Nielsen (D).
He further writes that it shouldn't be necessary to say:
- But it obviously is. A foreign person is offering money for a signature to incorporate Greenland into another country. It's not just deeply worrying. It's indecent, says Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
The chairman of Naalakkersuisut is responding to the story that an elderly, apparently American man has arrived in Nuuk, where he asks random people if they want to sign that Greenland can become part of the United States in exchange for 200,000 dollars, which according to the man will be paid out next year.
- That's not how you talk about a country
Jens-Frederik further writes that's not how you treat a people, and that's not how you talk about a country.
- We are a democratic society. Our future is not negotiated in a taxi. And it is not bought with money.
- I strongly distance myself from this kind of behavior. And I expect that the respect that every country is entitled to will be shown internationally, writes Jens-Frederik Nielsen and continues:
- Decisions about our country are made by ourselves. That should be understandable.
