Therefore, it should be just this day
While Faroese march in folk costumes and Norwegians wearing bunad and waves with flags in their hands, the Danes are left with a half -flat feeling and the memories of Constitution Day.
It must be changed if it is for the chairman of the Danish People’s Party, Morten Messerschmidt.
He longs for something more solemn – and hardly so political.
« We need a day when we pay tribute to being Danish, our literature, our songs, our landscapes. All that constitutes Denmark, » he says according to Newspaper Denmarkand calls for a marking that collects rather than splits.
He himself does not have much scam until June 5 as a national day. Overly politicized, says the analysis from the DF leader, who believes that the Danes are already abundantly divided into issues of welfare, climate and migration. A joint celebration should be raised above just that.
According to Messerschmidt, it’s not about inventing something new – but rather about rediscovering the old one. For Denmark, Denmark was also Denmark before we got the right to vote and constitution.
« Denmark should like to be something that we all, no matter what we vote, believe in and can consider our homeland and love. We could have one day a year to remind each other, » it says.
