The European Commission will invest 200 million euros in Greenland to strengthen ties with the island

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General7 September 2026 at 15:22

The European Commission will invest 200 million euros in Greenland to strengthen ties with the island. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced this investment program during a visit to Nuuk, the capital of the territory.

The investment program aims to strengthen ties between the European Union and Greenland, which is a territory under Danish control. Von der Leyen's visit was specifically aimed at deepening these bilateral relations.

The decision to increase European investments in the island comes in a context of continuous threats from the United States regarding Greenland. This geopolitical situation has led the European Union to seek closer ties with the Arctic territory.

German chancellor says he is 'shocked' by defeat to far-right party

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he was "deeply shocked" by his party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), losing to the far-right in the Saxony-Anhalt regional elections. With about 44% of the votes, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) won the election, getting twice as many votes as the second-place finisher. Merz acknowledged the result as the most severe episode in years or decades for his party. Since it did not achieve an absolute majority, the AfD will need to form a coalition with smaller parties to govern. If this happens, it will be the first far-right government in a German state since the Nazi regime.
