The Aarhus City Council has decided against a proposal to alternate flying Greenland's flag every other day at Aarhus City Hall. The proposal came from the political party Enhedslisten, motivated by the existing display of the Ukrainian flag which the council currently flies. The idea was to show solidarity with Greenland while also maintaining recognition for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflicts.

However, the ruling party, Socialdemokratiet, which holds the mayoral post in Aarhus, believes that there are more effective methods to strengthen ties with Greenland rather than merely changing flags. Their stance reflects a desire to maintain a diplomatic and respectful approach towards both Greenland and broader international relations, rather than performing symbolic gestures that might not translate into substantial actions.

Opposition party Venstre also expressed their disagreement with the idea, stating that discussing flag raising should not be a responsibility of the city council. This decision may indicate a preference for more substantive actions over symbolic gestures in local governance, pointing to a broader trend where local governments seek to focus on tangible relationships and initiatives rather than merely symbolism in their international affairs.
