​Den Danske TidendeNationale nyheder i Danmark siden 1714Danmark to join the Council of NationsHillerød announces that end is in sight for 'hyggism'
ELSINORE, Danmark - The Statsminister, Jens Peder Hillerød, yesterday formally submitted Danmark's application to the Council of Nations, the body established as part of the post-war international peace settlement. Made to the official office of the Council, the application marks the culmination of several years of often acrimonious national debate within the kingdom and the determination of the Liberal-Agrarian coalition government to reject Hyggism ('cosiness') and embrace an activist foreign policy.In a stormy session of the Folkehuset (National Parliament) with the coalition often at the receiving end of jeers and protests, Hillerød announced the news which was broadcast on most national media outlets."The climate in Europe at present does not allow Danmark to continue along a course of 'hygge' anymore. This policy has failed and it has increasingly become apparent that it does not do the country or it's people any favours. All anyone evers thinks of us is that we're a little nation of pig farmers more interested in moaning about the price of pork and frying bacon, than looking outside our windows and having broader horizons".He continued: "This is not to deny that this policy has served us well in the past and we have managed to largely escaped unscathed from much of what has befallen Europe. There is a certain attaction in continuing along the old route which, I see, the opposition, are keen to keep us on. But, in reality, no country is an island, and it's become stark how little we actually do outside our own border, whether to work with other countries or to further our aims and to increase our prosperity. This is not even to begin to start on the most obvious areas where our isolationism is failing us, such as in our national security and addressing the plight of the dispossessed in Europe's conflict zones. This is immoral and wrong, and so should end. I'm surprised some of the opponents to this move cannot see this".Numerous studies and reports have shown that Danmark is missing out on possible economic benefits by remaining in isolation and that senior military chiefs have been pressing for greater engagement with potential allies. Opinion polls conducted by numerous agencies indicate an average approval rating for 'engagement' of between 65 - 74% over the past 3 years.The opposition Social Democrats and numerous leftist groupings, however, have consistently opposed the move. Last year, the SD parliamentarian, Henning Folgnir, led the 'Keep Danmark Clean' campaign to highlight the pitfalls of 'dragging a largely happy and untainted society' into the 'morass of dirty international politics'. This was pithily dismissed by the famously drunk and obtuse popular grass-roots Liberal member for Odense South, Ole Munch, as "a load of bull-crap from people who should get their heads from up their collective delusional holes".In the session lastnight, the motion was carried by a majority of 356-112 with rebel Social Democrats joining the government.

State of Emergency as 38 killed, 170 injured

Mayor of Høye amongst those murdered, rumours of right-wing involvement

HØYE - A state of emergency was lastnight imposed in several Danish cities after they were plunged into chaos following the killing of 38 people and with 170 injured. It is the latest bout of civil disturbances that have rocked several cities and industrial centres since the beginning of the year. Amongst those killed, was the Mayor of the city of Høye, Oscar Ritte, who was bludgeoned to death after being dragged from the mayoral building by a mob of around 30 people.

Estimates suggest that around DK3.5 million worth of damage was caused with banks, police stations and government buildings bearing the brunt of the attacks.

The government and local police refused to comment further on any of the fatalities pending official enquiries, but this newspaper understands that Mayor Ritte was specifically targetted by militants following widespread outrage over rumours that he had embezzled city funds, was involved in cronyism and had made significant amounts of money by abusing his position. This was made worse by the face that around 2500 public sector employees had been made redundant as part of a DK 800 million efficiency drive.

The first reports were at 9.30pm local time, with indications that a group of 50 people had stormed the Høye electricity substation, plunging four-fifths of the city into darkness. Around 250 others marched on the city police HQ, killing 16 police officers including the city commander; with an unsubstantiated number attacking the mayoral building.

Later reports were sketchy, but indicated that similar disturbances were taking place in the cities of Sommerlath and Feldt, and the towns of Sjaellby, Gundstad, and Ennerby. None of these were on the same scale as Høye.

The government has been swift to condemn the riots and express sympathies to the families of the deceased. In a strongly worded press statement Statsminster, Jens Peder Hillerød, said: "Once again, we're plunged into the depths of despair as a murderous mob wreaks its havoc on the lives of innocent Danish citizens. These people do not care about life, they are set on destroying it. This will not be tolerated, mark my words".

Questions of whether lastnights attacks had been orchestrated, possibly by a group calling itself the Danish Revivalist Movement, have been strongly denied by government spokesmen. However, a senior unnamed minister in the government indicated that intelligence reports had pointed to a concerted campaign by a right-wing underground group which aimed to overthrow the government and impose an authoritarian military regime, and that the latest riots are most recent bout of this campaign.

This newspaper understands that the Folkehuset will meet in an emergency session this morning.

Instability spreads as 5-day General Strike declared

Perceived as escalation of civil insurrection

ELSINORE - The government was left reeling once again facing another major crisis last night, as the Danish United Congress of Trade Unions (DUCTU) announced a five-day general strike starting immediately to protest worsening working conditions, wage cuts, and declining living standards. The news sent the Danske Borse plummeting, finishing the day 700 points down. This latest development has sent panic amongst some in official circles, as they struggle to deal with the aftermath of the carnage centred upon the eastern city of Høye and signs of increasing insurrectionist activity.

DUCTU, representing all Danish trade unions, announced the five-day strike amid increasing frustration amongst trade unions members with what is seens as deliberate government intransigence in the face of the hardships faced due to the economic difficulties afflicting Danmark. The head of DUCTU, Per Manen, said that "This is the last resort. DUCTU has consistently put maxim effort into extracting a better deal for our members and for Danish society as a whole. But the government persistently digs in its heels. Many members feel that the government is cynically using the recent civil disturbances as a convenient fig-leaf to hide behind and to deny us our fair rights. Our doors, however, remain open. They always have been".

A government spokesman strenuously denied the DUCTU claims as a sham and said that the government always acted in the best interests of all, but had to balance the needs of one group with those of others, especially given the straitened circumstances Danmark faces. Any accusations of exploiting civil disturbances to deny worker rights was "ntrue...to do that would be an abrogation of responsibility. For anyone to believe otherwise is foolish"

The suddenness of the DUCTU announcement seems to have left the government on the back foot as they appear to have had no forewarning and so had not had time to put any contingency plans into place. The effects of the strike are likely to cause maximum disturbance as food deliveries, public transport, civil aviation, electricity supplies and medical services are heavily hit.

However, the news has not come as a surprise to some, notably the former secretary general of DUCTU, Gustav Lind, was resigned in February after becoming disenchanted with what he said had been an infiltration of the DUCTU leadership by radical insurrectionist elements. In an interview to DR TV in February, Lind said that Per Manen had become a mere figurehead and that real power now resided with the "Young Turks in the executive who are hell-bent on smashing the state and returning Danmark so some sort of halcyon never-never land"

The Social Democrat opposition joined with the Liberal-Agrarian government in condemning the strikes as "supreme irresponsibility". But there have been notable critics from the backbenches on all sides, with the government coming in for special criticism for failing to plan for such an eventuality. "They were caught napping", said Magnus Magnusson, (Frederiksborg West - Lib). Another, Goran Struve (Skagen - Lib) "We've been taken to the cleaners before by trade unions, so it's hardly a surprise to me. But this is ten-times worse. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but this is the price you pay for letting trade unions have too much power. They're a bad deal for Danmark".

Manen denies DUCTU- Carentania links

"Wholly Danish matter", asserts chairman

ELSINORE - DUCTU head, Per Manen, strenuously denied any links in the decision to forge ahead with the recent five-day strike with an announcement by the Carentanian Communist Party declaring support and assistance. The concerted attempt to place clear blue water between DUCTU and Carentania, followed efforts by opponents, particularly within the Liberal Party, to force an emergency measure to declare the strike illegal, and who have exploited the Carentanian announcement as proof of a wider Europe-wide leftist conspiracy to undermine the state.

Manen, who made attended a press conference at the Grand Marnier Hotel yesterday, claimed that "The decision [to strike] was an entirely internal matter and had no connection to any foreign trade unions or socialist movements".

Whilst admitting that DUCTU and it's component unions cooperate and discuss wider issues regularly, and with the obvious ideological connections, Manen rebuffed accusations that the official declaration of the strike was part of a wider effort. "We're not planning for any sort of European-wide revolution, if that's what you're thinking".

The onslaught surrounding DUCTU since the strike also appears to have had repercussions within the DUCTU executive, with a move by radicals in the leadership to oust Manen, seen as too accommodating and moderate, with a radical fringe. But as yet, there has been no clear winner.

Although the strike is nearing it's end, its effects have been acute. The government, slated by critics for a sluggish and long-winded response and for failing to implement contingency plans in time, has been forced to deploy 50,000 troops from the regular army and call up 20,000 reservists in order to ensure that Danmark did not come to a stand still particularly in ensuring the deliveries of food, and operating a limited rail and national bus network, running at around 30% usual capacity. Also, around 3,500 members of the army medical division were called upon to operate a strictly emergency-only basis medical service.

Reports have continued to flood in of severe disruption to electricity and water supplies in some outlying provinces. Health organisations have warned of the risk of the spreading of disease after the sewerage system in parts of the east collapsed, after striking workers were called away in the middle of a major engineering-overhaul of the system.

Fears for the safety of the royal family were heightened on Saturday evening, after the army and police were rushed to the Normalm power-station, after what is suspected as an insurgent attack that plunged the whole of the northern half of Elsinore into darkness. The king accompanied by Princess Dagmar, attending an award ceremony at the Circeln Teater, had to be whisked away by police and the royal security detail to the Torsberg Slot, amid fears of an assassination attempt on the monarch.

No arrests have yet been made for the power-station attack.

Military top-brass lambast Hillerød as country struggles

Hardline urged on unions, reversal of military spending cuts

ELSINORE - Senior military chiefs entered a storm yesterday following publication of an unprecedented letter that launched a stinging attack on the Statsminister Hillerød amid accusations of a failure of leadership in reaction to the general strike.

The joint-letter signed by 15 senior military chiefs, representing Danmark's army, navy and airforce, including retired Field Marshall Henrik Staenkskaerm, General Nils Christiansen, Air Chief Marshall Mikkel Larsen, and Admiral Jan von Trier, urged a review of government planning and a reversal of the military-spending cuts implemented last year. The letter brings into the open widespread dissatisfaction within many in the military at how they appear to have been the victim of savage cuts but remaining to carry the same burdens, especially in response to the general strike.

The letter calls for "muscular proactivity" in dealing with civil disturbances such as those experienced by Danmark in order to deal with them more effectively.

The unions, the letter points out, have clearly demonstrated "a dismal lack of regard for civilian interests in a blatently self-serving agenda. Such events like the General Strike cannot continue to be borne without major changes to the way the government responds to such incidents. It is not in Danmark's best interest to continue to allow reckless unions and other anti-social elements to remain unchallenged".

On the reasons behind the letter, the chiefs said: "It is with great regret that we are drawn, due to unprecendented and previously unimaginable events, into ensuring that our concerns are brought into the public domain and to break with tradition. We are mindful of the constitution and that in times of peace and normality we take our commands from a democratically elected government."

However, they continued: "It has often appeared that the government has not been wholly prepared in its duty to the people of Danmark and to ensure that its interests are protected and advanced. In order to ensure the maximum and most effective assistance from the military in these times of strain we believe it is imperative that current arrangements, based on the status quo ante, are reviewed. This includes the modes of government-military liaision, strategy and the centrally-administered military expenditure. New challenges demand fresh approaches. The military is finding the current circumstances difficult and it is only due to the high degree of dedication and skill of the ordinary men and women of the military that they have been able to make the most of an invidious situation".

A government statement refused to be drawn on any specifics in the statement, only saying that "all government policy is under continual review and we welcome input from all sectors". No ministers were available for comment.

The letter has divided opinion in parliament. In particular, a scion of Liberal members have expressed sympathy with the military. One said "It's been clear for a while that the government treats the military as a football and still expects them to jump when called. Something has to give. I don't blame the generals, they sound exasperated to me".

However, the Social Democrats have been more scathing. The SD Spokesman for Defence, Nils Rasmussen, launched a broadside against the men. "They've clearly crossed a Rubicon in that, until now, the military kept clean out of politics. To be honest, I think some have forgotten quite who they answer to. They're quick to point out how the government has failed in it's response to the strikes, and we share some of those concerns. But, the men seem to have forgotten that there's two main elements to the problems we're facing now- the trade union militants, and the ultra-conservatives in the Revivalist movement. But they seem to have ignored that, which is disappointing. The two are entirely different but they've completely ignored one side in this. Do the chiefs not think the rightists are a challenge, or what? Indeed, I'd argue that the union strikes have been used as a smokescreen by some people who sympathise with the ultra-right Revivalists so the unions get all the blame. As such, the unions have shot themselves in the foot on that as they're now looking as if they're the ones solely to blame for all the problems we have by cack-handed planning and public relations. I also have to question whether the generals sympathise with the right and are looking for an excuse to meddle in our democratic politics by seeking to draw a distinction between 'normal times' and what they presumably believe are todays 'abnormal times'?. It doesn't sit well with me".

Union of Communist Workers

The UCW is not a party and distances itself from any form of party-socialist movement. We are a labor union, not unlike our danish counterpart, and as such we feel connected to the struggles of the Danish workers. However, we can confirm Manen's comment, as the UCW does not interfere in the autonomous decisions of other Labor Unions and respects the independence of the Danish workers. As Proletarians, we stand in solidarity with anyone who struggles for workers rights, but as Council-Communists, we can not impose our will on fellow proletarians.

Danish United Congress of Trade Unions - Press Office

We in DUCTU thank the Carentanian Union of Communist Workers for their clarification. No doubt as you will be aware from press reports, DUCTU has had many accusations levelled at it in response to our decision to declare a general strike, and believed it necessary to put it on record the exact nature between our two organisations.

As fellow organisations representing our respective workers' interests, we look forward to continuing to build on the relations we currently have and to continue along the path of mutually- beneficial dialogue and cooperation.

Bleak times ahead for Danmark, forecasts ex-PM

Real risk of civil war or coup d'etat, slaps down military

SAMSØ - Danmark is heading for an increasingly dangerous and dire few years ahead if more is not done to support democracy and deal with destabilising forces, the former Social Democrat Prime Minister Poul Jensen, has warned.

The former PM, in office from 2000-2005, came out of semi-retirement to deliver his gloomy prognosis in the wake of the 'General's Letter' and a catalogue of events to rock the country in recent times with no sign yet that they are subsiding. A combination of a recession, escalating trade union radicalism, the rise of anti-democratic forces, and the unprecendented intervention of senior military personnel has caused a crisis of confidence which Jensen has urged the incumbent Hillerød administration to tackle urgently.

Speaking to the business-orientated weekly newspaper, Skagen Posten, Jensen said "Danmark stands on a precipice and is at risk over tipping over and turning into a battle-ground between left and right with liberal democracy squashed in between. As politicians, we're fast becoming mere spectators that no one is listening to anymore whilst the two sides slug it out over the body of liberal democratic moderacy. Now, that worries me".

He urged the Elsinore government to get to grips with the situation immediately.

"The government is faced with an extreme dilemma which no government in recent memory has had to face. I was lucky, at least we had a prosperous economy as a backdrop. Hillerød doesn't have this advantage. One thing is for certain though, at least in the short term, that much more effort has to be exterted to rein in groups like the Ny Venstre (New Left) union faction, and the up-to-now shadowy right-wing cells that have declared an intention to to erase our democracy and what it has delivered for this country in recent decades. Similarly, the military needs to be reminded of who they take their orders from. I'd have no hesitation putting one or two of them out to pasture".

Hillerød and the liberal establishment has come under intensified flak by seeming to be aloof from the real issues affecting people who, as left wing groups suggest, are left to suffer with no help out from the central government, but Jensen offered a slightly different interpretation.

"Let's face it, there are people out there with a huge chip on their shoulder and an axe to grind. They'll each blame the other as an excuse for doing what they're doing - the left blames the economy and moderate inaction; the right blames the unions and 'liberal effeteness' and societal malaise. Surely they cannot deny that the government has attempted to alleviate the pain of this recession? I refute that they've just sat on their hands, They mayn't have done it quite as we in the SD party may have, but it's going too far to suggest they've done virtually nothing at all and don't care - it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Their defence of their actions is increasingly indefensible. Going on strikes is just hurting people more. If they've a point - let them express it democratically in full public scrutiny and public debate".

Expanding on his thesis that the established parties should do more to address the grievances of fringe movements, he went on:

"It's a common feature of many democracies that the existing established parties, even if it's only to win votes, will 'move in' on the territory of radical fringe groups and suck out their life blood. However, all parties seemed paralysed and don't seem to know what move to make next. They are not controlling the agenda and are merely reacting to events. This is not real leadership. We all need to do more to tell people exactly what are the benefits of our system, what it's delivered for them, and the perils of drifting off to the extremes".

Asked to forecast where the country could be in the next few months or years, Jensen was a little reluctant, but gave this warning:

"I really don't want to go down that road of predicting this and that and I have no crystal ball. But, if I'm really asked to put my neck on the line, I'd say that if things continue the way they have been going, that there's a significant risk of a major leftist rising with major loss of life and an unrecognisable country afterwards. I also think that the right are likely to come up too and that these two groups could well end up coming to blows. A big risk is that the military will get involved but to what extent, it's hard to say. They've already drawn a thick line in the sand and more-or-less said "If push comes to shove, we'll have no choice but to intervene". Does this mean a coup d'etat? I'm not sure. Either way, I'm seriously concerned".

The Government of the Skånskige Statsunionen is concerned about the state of affairs within our regional friend Danmark and wish to offer any assistance necessary to tackle and solve this rapidly problematic situation.

His Majesty's Scanian Government has experience in working through difficult civil disturbances from our experiences with The Troubles and would be more than pleased to pass such expertise on.

Danmark thanks the kind words and offers of assistance from the Skånskige Statsunionen at what is a most difficult and pressing time for the Kingdom.

We are aware of the previous history of your country and undoubtedly share the belief that your experience enables a different perspective on such issues and that indeed your country may well be able to offer help and counsel to the Kingdom of Danmark.

As a fellow Scanian nation, Danmark is keen to develop and enhance traditional ties to the Skånskige Statsunionen, as it is with all such similar nations of a Scanian or German heritage. This is not only for reasons of trade and good relations, but to connect with our shared common histories, whether in terms of language, ethnicity or historical experience.

Kingdom reaches out to neighbours

Aim to deepen relations to Scanians and Germans

ELSINORE - The government of Jens Peder Hillerød aims to restore significant links and ties with its neighbours and traditional friends in northern Europe as a key plank of its rejection of isolationism and embracing of international engagement, the Foreign Minister signalled today.

Henrik Westerveld announced the intention at his weekly departmental questions in the Folkehuset (Parliament). In particular, the government is keen to develop and enhance relations with Danmark's near neighbours particularly Eiffelland, Weise, Oltremare, Wendmark, the Papal States, Franken and the Francophone states to the west, noticeably Montelimar and Marquette. Added to this is a desire to re-connect with the Scanian nations of the north such as Batavie and the Skånskige Statsunionen.

"Danmark is unique in that it straddles two spheres in Europe - the Scanian and the Germanic, and has a touch of the French. It is a well-known fact that a great many Danes take pride in, that the Danes were settlers that travelled around looking for pastures new in order to trade and settle. We are the descendents of the "Roving Nords", the southernmost of all Scanians and the most detached.

"Even though we were borne from the Holy German Empire in the sixteenth century, we are an essentially 'northern' nation but shot-through with a significant flavour of that Germanic past in terms of our large numbers of catholic adherents, the Germans that live in the north, our architecture and even a few of the every-day loan words to our Danish language. It is crucial that we re-connect with this heritage and for practical political and economic reasons. I know that for some, that they'd prefer it if Danmark concentrated on ties to its Scanian relatives, but we are also descendents of the Germans too and nearly all our neighoburs are Germanic. We shouldn't forget this. It's in our best interests to get the most of our unique position".

The move is likely to be popular with most Danes and the German minority who have long called for closer ties and there does not seem to be any major issues between the two groups on that. Many ethnic Germans will welcome the fact of being able to travel more easily to the other German nations and the move is likely to boost riverine trade and traffic along the Rhine river that cuts through Weise, Danmark and Eiffelland.

As to connections to the Francophones, Westerveld said:

"Again, it's a practical thing to do. Also, it recognises a reality. After our independence, Francophone traders and merchants came to Danmark and helped to make it what it is today by helping it's burgeoning economy. And, like ourselves, Francophones were settlers and came to Danmark, especially near the coast. Go there today, and many people still speak a Franco-Danish dialect and many places have a distinct "French" feel to them. The Francophone influence is less significant, but it's only natural we reach out to our neighbours there also"

The news coming from Danmark give cause for concern. Potential escalation of internal tensions between the various political and other pressure groups at play leads to fears of more far reaching consequences. It is, thus, not surprising that the Free State of Wendmark gives particular attention to events in neighbouring Danmark and follows any developments closely.

The Free State adheres fully to the principle of non-involvement into the internal affairs of sovereign states. This does not mean that Wendmark shall stand idle as threats to democracy and liberty arise in her neighbours' territories. As such, should the government of Danmark require any assistance, the Free State shall answer readily. Wendmark has a long tradition of maintaining democratic traditions in a historically militaristic society. The Wendmarker example has proven times and times again that a strong military potential can go hand in hand with strong democratic values. The two notions are not mutually exclusive.
