Israels Plads ‘renamed’

On Sunday afternoon, Israels Plads in Copenhagen was renamed. Above one of the square’s original road signs, a new one has been placed with the text “Palestine Square”, TV2 Kosmopol’s pictures show. The Technical and Environmental Administration told TV 2 Kosmopol on Sunday afternoon that it did not know when the sign was put up, but that it would be removed. “Such acts are continuously removed or cleaned,” the administration writes. Recently, there have been several issues in Copenhagen relating to the current situation in the Middle East. On Thursday morning several Palestinian flags were flying from flagpoles on Queen Louise’s Bridge in Copenhagen. The flags were quickly removed again. Likewise, The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen has been dressed in a kufiya. /TV2 Kosmopol/
