Russian Threat Looms Over Denmark's Democracy Festival
The warm scent of smoked fish and tangy rye bread drifted through the crowd as Denmark's crisis minister, Torsten Schack Pedersen, tied on a long apron and stepped behind a pop-up kitchen counter in Allinge on the Danish island of Bornholm. With his sleeves rolled up, he reached for tins of peppered kippers — his personal favorite, he eagerly admitted — and began crafting his take on a smørrebrød, Denmark's beloved open-faced sandwich. But the point wasn't just to showcase his culinary skills. Pedersen was demonstrating how to make a tasty meal using the shelf-stable ingredients every Dane is now advised to stockpile in case of a national emergency such as a power blackout or military engagement. The moment captured the mood — festive but shadowed by security concerns — underpinning this year's Folkemødet, Denmark's annual democracy festival on Bornholm, also known as 'sunshine island.' Each year, the Baltic outpost attracts tens of thousands of people to mingle with politicians, diplomats and business leaders, often seen here in sneakers and shades, beer in hand, chatting with regular folks. The atmosphere is like a street fair complete with DJ battles, policy quizzes and grilled sausages.

Apple as the symbol of Polish presidency in the Council of the EU – a campaign organized by the Association of Polish Fruit Farmers during the Folkemødet event on the Danish island of Bornholm
We would like to invite you to another sampling event of the 'Time for Polish Apples' campaign, organized by the Association of Polish Fruit Farmers. This time during the Folkemødet event GRÓJEC, Poland, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Since January 2025, Poland has been presiding over the Council of the European Union and the apple has become the official symbol of the Polish Presidency. It is a natural choice – Poland is the largest producer of apples in Europe and the fourth largest in the world. Every third apple eaten in Europe comes from Polish orchards! Polish apples are a symbol of quality, health and tradition, but also of modernity and innovation in Polish agriculture, which is constantly evolving. To mark this special moment, the Association of Polish Fruit Farmers has launched the 'Time for Polish Apples' campaign, which aims to promote Polish fruit farming and high-quality fruit on the international stage. The campaign is part of efforts to raise the profile of Poland as Europe's largest apple producer and to promote the fruit worldwide. Numerous special events are planned to be held in Poland and abroad under the 'Time for Polish Apples' campaign, so as to enable consumers to taste Polish apples and experience their unique taste. Event participants will be able to see why they are so highly regarded in more than 60 countries around the world – from India to the US, and even in Egypt. Tasting events are being organized in Poland (Warsaw, Łódź, Gdynia and Wrocław) and abroad – including Germany and Portugal. The next event will take place during the Folkemødet event held on the Bornholm island in Denmark on June 13th of this year, where a distinctive stand in the shape of an apple will be featured. This will be the perfect opportunity to taste the juicy apples packed with flavor and experience their unique taste. At our information desk you can learn more about the campaign, the nutritional value of apples and the scale of Polish fruit farming. All events are accompanied by an extensive media campaign, including outdoor advertising, media and social media activities. By means of these activities, we want as many people as possible to learn about Polish apples, their nutritional value and quality. CONTACT: CONTACT: biuro@ +48 48 664 37 79
