COPENHAGEN Oct. 11, 2022 (EIRNS) – On Wednesday, Oct. 5, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced that there will be a parliamentary election on November 1, after her Social Democratic government was threatened with a vote of no confidence.
Tom Gillesberg, the chairman of the Schiller Institute in Denmark, is running as an independent candidate, in connection with the “Friends of the Schiller Institute” election platform, in all of Copenhagen, in order to bring the LaRouche and Schiller Institute analysis and solutions into the election.
On Saturday, five teams of supporters put up 500 posters with the slogan: “Stop NATO’s wars: Cooperate: Peace through development.” The poster has a picture of a Chinese engineer working with three Kenyan construction workers to build the railroad from Nairobi to Mombasa (the same picture on the front of the Schiller Institute special report, Extend the New Silk Road to Southwest Asia and Africa). Then, under that, next to Tom’s picture, is a row of flags: Denmark, Ukraine, Russia, China, India, U.S. and a plus sign (representing more countries are welcome). At the bottom is the Friends of the Schiller Institute contact information.
Tom’s posters are historically nationally famous, and we hope that this new one will provoke a response from journalists and voters.
You can see the poster on the campaign homepage: www.sive.dk.
The candidate also has ten short videos there (in Danish) about: Why I am running; How to stop NATO’s wars; For a new international security and development architecture; Peace through Development; highlights from Tom’s previous eight campaigns; the economic and financial crisis and solutions; the climate and energy — nuclear power and fusion, Yes please; Danish infrastructure projects; Classical culture and Why you should learn about Lyndon LaRouche.
Tom also just put out a statement, “Do you dare pose critical questions, or remain silent and lose both welfare and risk nuclear war?”
We now have three more weeks to take advantage of the outreach possibilities an election provides.
