This summer, Macron is going to make his first ever visit to Greenland. No one doubts that this visit, if it takes place, will be a bid by Europe to retain control over Greenland, and not only: depending on the stability of the United States or its possible failure as a world hegemon and a single nation state, the project of de Gaulle, who exclaimed in Montreal in July 1967: “Long live free Quebec!”, which has been dormant for 30 years, can be realised in North America and the North Atlantic.

France supported Greenland when President Donald Trump expressed his desire to take over the country. The straight-line distance from the northern tip of French-speaking Quebec to southwestern Greenland is less than a thousand kilometers.

Is Macron, known for his penchant for geopolitics, preparing at least for the military-political separation of Greenland from North America and the final consolidation of the world’s largest island for Europe with nuclear guarantees, backed up by strategic nuclear submarines stationed at the French base of Ile Longue, 2.8 thousand kilometres from Greenland?

In the second referendum on Quebec independence in 1995, supporters of independence lost by a difference of less than 0.6 per cent (49.58 per cent and 51.42 per cent), and inspired by this achievement, began to create a “state within a state”, conducting to this day an accelerated Frenchification of the bilingual province of Canada, with its territory of 1.5 million square kilometers. km and a population of 7.8 million people (Switzerland—8.5 million) and an advantageous location with a long coastline on the North Atlantic.

It seems that little Napoleon might have some chance to create a “French arc” in the North Atlantic, from Brittany to Quebec, which could become an associated state with France.

France might have a historic chance to revive “New France”, a project that could provide a languishing nation with missing vital energy.

Sermitsiaq has learned this from several reliable sources. Minister of Foreign Affairs Vivian Motzfeldt confirms that an invitation to visit Greenland has been well received.

“I can confirm that the French government has very well received our invitation, but as for specific information, I must refer to the Department of the President,” Vivian Motzfeldt tells Sermitsiaq.

In May, the Foreign Minister visited France and in this connection handed over an invitation to visit Greenland.

During the visit, Vivian Motzfeldt from the Siumut party thanked France for its support during the great pressure from US President Donald Trump at the beginning of the year.

He stated on several occasions that he wants to take control of the world’s largest island and that he does not rule out military force.
