Jørgen

8 December 2009

Jørgen is somewhat disconcerted that his government has changed its laws regarding demonstrations. An individual can now be held in custody for civil disobedience and, more importantly, for being involved “in action that is blocking […] and refusing to move.”

At the same time, Jorgen wonders if this law extends into the conference rooms at the Bella Center.

In the event it does, delegates from Canada, Saudi Arabia and other similarly-inclined countries would be wise to choose their negotiating strategies carefully. Otherwise, they may have to face the unintended consequences of the new Danish law.
