16 January 2026 - Defending European sovereignty is a security issue
Volt condemns in the strongest terms the provocative bill submitted by US Congressman Randy Fine, which envisages the annexation of Greenland and its incorporation as a state of the United States.
As Europeans, we must react decisively to this hostile action against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark, a member state of the European Union. Otherwise, we will send the message that European states are vulnerable states and can become prey to the appetites of powerful third states, which would be particularly dangerous for Cyprus.
The fate of Greenland can only be decided by its people, within the framework of international law and the principle of self-determination, and not through unilateral expansionist plans or geopolitical calculations of third states.
We call on the European Commission, as well as the Cypriot government, which holds the Presidency of the Council of the EU this semester, to immediately promote the imposition of targeted sanctions against Mr. Fine, in order to send a message that expansionist ambitions to the detriment of Europe will not be tolerated.
