Inunnguaq Jensen asks for a cigarette from every smoker he sees on the streets of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. When they offer him a light as well as tobacco, he shyly explains that he prefers to save it for later. The young man maintains that until a few days ago he had never been interested in politics. “On Tuesday I will vote for the first time,” he says with a certain pride. “I am not yet sure which party I will vote for, but I will vote for one that is clearly pro-independence.

The goal was not only to teach them the language of the mother country, but to train them as a small elite capable of governing their island and guiding it toward modernity.

The year 2024 was a good one for 56-year-old Frederik X of Denmark. A very good one. On January 14, he ascended to the throne after his mother, Queen Margrethe’s, surprise abdication, which was announced just two weeks earlier during her New Year’s speech. After five decades of reign and consistent popularity ratings nearing 80%, Margrethe left behind an impressive legacy.

A woman with Indigenous Inuit features, dressed as if she were preparing to conquer the North Pole, smiles at the new arrival, who looks like a foreigner and appears lost at the Nuuk airport, the capital of Greenland. She offers two pieces of advice. First, she tells him to walk like a penguin — slowly, with his feet close to the ground — to avoid slipping on the ice.

La mujer, vestida como para conquistar ella sola el Polo Norte y con rasgos indígenas inuit, sonríe y dice dos cosas al recién llegado con aspecto de extranjero y pinta de perdido en el aeropuerto de Nuuk, la capital de Groenlandia. La primera, que a partir de ese momento, por la calle, camine como los pingüinos, despacito y sin separar mucho los pies del suelo, a fin de evitar resbalones por el hielo.
