Inuit MP at centre of language row in Danish parliament

An MP representing Greenland in Denmark’s parliament has been asked to leave the podium of the assembly after she refused to translate her speech delivered in an Inuit language into Danish, highlighting strained relations within the Danish Realm.

Aki-Matilda Hoegh-Dam, from the social democratic Siumut party, is at the centre of a debate about whether MPs from Greenland and the Faeroe Islands can speak in their own tongues before the Danish parliament.
