Vazrazhdane leader Kostadin Kostadinov said that his party supports US President Donald Trump's claims to Greenland, according to a report from the party's press center on Sunday. “Why is Donald Trump’s desire to annex Greenland good news for Bulgaria? Because it weakens the main enemy of our country, the European Union," Kostadinov said.
”The policies of the European Commission towards creeping federalization and the forceful annexation of more and more sovereignty from fading national states are the greatest threat, not only to our country but to European civilization as a whole. The example of the unlawful and forced annexation of Bulgaria into the Eurozone is just the latest and one of many in the long list of crimes committed by the proponents of the melting down of European nations into a faceless common biomass," Kostadinov said.
He argued that Trump's aggressive stance towards Denmark, particularly regarding Greenland, should be seen as a positive development for Bulgaria. He noted that Denmark, as both an EU and NATO member, is central to the ongoing crises facing both organizations, which he believes could ultimately lead to their disintegration.
"Denmark is clearly not receiving full support from other EU member states, which undermines the EU’s foundational principle of mutual assistance," Kostadinov stated. "Furthermore, one NATO member is now threatening the territory of another NATO member. This creates an uncomfortable dilemma for other NATO countries – should they side with the U.S. or with Denmark? Or will they simply observe as allies clash?"
In his view, the EU and NATO are facing crises that are unlikely to resolve in their favor, with limited paths forward. Kostadinov believes that external pressure, like Trump’s challenge to Denmark, may be necessary to accelerate the collapse of these institutions.
The Bulgarian politician also emphasized an overlooked historical fact: in 1982, Greenland held a referendum in which its population voted to leave the European Economic Community (EEC), the precursor to the European Union. The decision was based on a key geographical and cultural argument – that Greenland, like much of Canada and Alaska, is part of North America, not Europe.
Kostadinov pointed out that this decision makes Greenland’s relationship with the EU irrelevant, as the island was never formally part of the union, only a territory of Denmark.
He also acknowledged that Trump's desire to bring Greenland under US control is understandable, given that Greenland’s population shares cultural, linguistic, and historical ties with North American territories, particularly Canada and Alaska.
