It's about territory.
And here's the problem.
Most of these people on the far, on European far right, they're nationalists, which means they know their history and they believe that land is sacred.
And he has a real estate view of land.
They're not like this.

And do you know what happened in the European Parliament when basically they decided not to ratify the trade deal that was reached six months ago?
And then when the president of the parliament said, we are standing behind Denmark and Greenland, so the mainstream parties, the members of the European Parliament from the mainstream parties went up.
And then suddenly, one by one, the nationalistic MPs starting to stand up again also, including the urban people.

Because he's not a classical nationalist.
He's not interested in history.
To be honest, he's not interested in future.
