Communist Party of Denmark: US-Denmark agreement threatens Greenland's security

As tensions over Greenland intensify and Denmark and the United States move towards a new agreement concerning the strategically important Arctic territory, the Communist Party of Denmark (DKP) has warned against the further militarization of the region and the growing rivalry among major powers. The Party rejects the presentation of increased military cooperation as a guarantee of security, arguing that it could instead turn Greenland into a frontline of future conflicts.

The Arctic, and thus also Greenland, has enormous geostrategic importance, among other things due to its location close to Russia and China. With the melting of the ice in the Arctic, the coveted northern corridor is moving closer to reality. Trade routes are about to change, and thus interest in Greenland and its resources increases. It is increasing as the monopolies' competition for markets globally is intensifying day by day.

A new draft bill proposed by the Danish Ministry of Justice tries to put an end to the freedom of speech, especially on issues regarding the murderous, imperialist alliance of NATO. 

According to Arbejderen news portal, the Justice Ministry prepares a law according to which even the sharing of any critical articles or views that "adversely affect the general perception of NATO” will be punishable! In order to obfuscate the threatening - towards free speech- nature of the new law, the draft legislation adds that the sharing of anti-NATO information/views will be punishable "if it is coming from a foreign intelligence service".
