Jyllands-Posten Editorial Says "Great ideas can be suffocated by small people"

April 23, Copenhagen (EIRNS)--The Jyllands-Posten editorized today in his Aarhus section for building the Kattegat Bridge. While not mentioning the Schiller Institute or its maglev proposal, the Aarhus-based newspaper called for building the very connection the Schiller Institute has been calling for, in order to construct the 25-minute maglev link between Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city.

Entitled "To Build a Bridge," the editorial states that the fastest route to Scandinavia, the Baltics, and farther east, would be to build this bridge. It states that the Aarhus Mayor Nicolai Wammen (Social Democratic Party) and Peter Thyssen, (Social Liberal Party) the traffic spokesman for the city council, are leading the fight to get the government and the infrastructure commission to make this a priority, and negotiate its adoption at the same time as the proposed new connection to Germany, across the Fehmer Belt.

"Great ideas can be suffocated by small people, but that ought not happen in this case," it writes, and calls for a study of the project. It also calls for all of the mayors and business people in central and northern Jutland to back up the idea and pressure the government to adopt it.
