But the old man was a rigid campaigner and quite stubborn in his approach. Kaare Mathiesen was the Arctic ambassador and was supposed to lead their negotiations. But she was also well aware that oil meant revenue, and it was an intrinsic nature of human beings that their allegiance changed very quickly whenever huge sums of monetary gains were in sight. Birgitte tells Hans very clearly on the call that fossil fuels are environmentally indefensible and that the Danish government will never approve of putting the environment at stake. Apparently, a Canadian oil company had made the discovery, and there was speculation being made in the Danish media as to what the government’s stance would be on the whole issue. Birgitte Nyborg gets to know about the development and instantly contacts Hans Eliassen, Greenland’s Secretary of State for natural resources, for a detailed report. It was clear that the drilling could have unforeseeable environmental implications and disturb the delicate balance of the ecosystem in the Arctic. The drilling was to be done next to Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
In ‘Borgen – Power & Glory’ Episode 1, Greenland struck gold as they found oil near Disco Bay. Birgitte Nyborg is no longer the Prime Minister of Denmark, but she still has the kind of influence, as the Foreign Minister, that has the potential to change the course of the narrative. Where some have risen to power, others have found a spot for themselves from where they can overlook the drama and pull the reins whenever needed. Their roles have changed considerably over the last decade. The characters that inhabit this unpropitious world are still the same.
“Borgen – Power & Glory” is a 2022 Nordic political drama and has been reinvented and brought to screen after a gap of almost nine years. Every person has their own moral compass, and the problem arises when they are ready to compromise on it and lead the people astray for their personal gains. People say that politics is a dirty business, as the greed and want for more never ends. The purpose of every decision made, is to get leverage and fulfill a motive. In politics, decisions are not made according to what’s right and what’s wrong.
