• Greenlanders demand an end to the Danish Parental Competency Test, a network breakdown causes concern over lack of preparedness against cyber attacks and the Green Tripartite Agreement is finalized

  This week on The Danish connection: We speak to Najannguaq Dalgård Christensen (@Najannguaq1), who works for Greenlanders’ rights in Denmark focusing specifically on the placement of Greenlandic children, about The Danish Parental Competency test. The FKU (as it’s known in Danish) has been criticised by human rights bodies for being culturally unsuitable for Greenlandic people and other minorities, leading to a disproportionate number of children being removed from their parents. We talk specifically about the case of Keira Alexandra Kronvold, a woman of Greenlandic heritage who gave birth in North Jutland last month and had her baby taken away hours later. We discuss the breakdown of the mobile network TDC last week, the third largest network in Denmark, which caused disruptions to train services, traffic lights and left hundreds of thousands of people unable to make calls from their phones. The outage raises questions about cyber security and emergency preparedness in Denmark. We talk about the final details of the Green Tripartite Agreement and what it means for Denmark’s green future Plus: Producer and volunteer Amanda Parra tells us how we can help to save Kulturalhus 100Fryd, a vital community space in Aalborg, from shutting down.
